I can't remember exactly where I learnt about the LPSO. Might have been a documentary. Hopefully climate change doesn't wipe them out.

There is a book by Adrian Tchaikovsky about a planet taken over by genetically modified octopuses that started their own civilisation. They even had their own space ships. Children of Ruin is the title if anyone's interested.

There was a species discovered awhile ago that formed colonies and was observed pair bonding, intimate mating and spawning multiple times over their lifetime. Completely unlike other octopuses. The Larger Pacific striped octopus.

Sadly, their lifespan is only about two years, which probably is why they aren't the dominant species.

I mentioned a few months ago about getting a new mattress, well we finally did it last week. Ended up getting the extra firm Ecosa mattress on sale and it's SO firm and great. Almost feels like sleeping on the floor. It's definitely helping my lower back pains and feels a lot better when I wake up in the morning.

The hunt is still on for a larger car/seven seater.

Full size. Mini was too small

It might have been MightyApe when I still had a primate membership, it's been awhile now. There are a bunch of lunchbox specialised online stores in NZ if I recall, but some of them can be pretty pricey.

Might be a bit large for a 4 year old, but our 9 year old is using a b.box lunchbox. The long compartment has an adjustable divider or can be removed. Comes with a freezable gel pack that can go in a separate bit under the sandwich compartment, however ours has stopped wanting sandwiches for lunch

I don't know, to have all four wheels come off makes me think he only put the lug nuts on intending to tighten it after, but forgot to do it.

The description of what happened makes it sound like a cartoon .

EDIT: Actually just reading it again, I can't tell if the wheels fell off or the tyres came off the rims?

Ah sorry! Sometimes hard to tell on here. I haven't watched it in a long time, probably due for a rewatch.

It was! If you like UK shows, it was used as the theme tune for Peep Show.
