Why try? Go and feed the chickens, rotavate the garden or something else useful.

[Tim Streater]

But don't rotovate the bed with the japanese knotweed, like wot I did.

[Colin Bignell]

That is because the AI programme isn't yet good enough to simulate a real human's responses.

Tim Streater used his keyboard to write :

I keep adding him to the filter, but like knotweed he keeps reappearing. I don't understand it, my filter works just fine with all the others.

[The Natural Philosopher]

does that make it worse?

[Tim Streater]

Well it does in as much as I started with one JN plant and ended up with a billion. I dug up the rootball (which filled a wheelbarrow), and burnt it, but I was getting JN shoots coming up every year for the next seven years or so. It's a bit like bindweed in that regard.

I used to think you were quite clever Bill. Not quite sure how you’ve managed to forget what a troll is.

Glyphosate controls it. You just need several doses.

That's what I spent 7 years applying, to each shoot as it came up. Since 1/4" of root will regenerate, you have to let them grow up enough to be visible and have leaves before applying it. A bit like spam, really. Let them send it to you, then you mark it as spam. After a while, your Baysian spam filter will know which subsequent mails to mark as spam.

You have got worse recently. Senile grumpy old man comes to mind.

Go on with your usual reply. You know you want to.

[Fredxx]

An admission you f***ed up twice in a day. That in itself is hardly a record.

No, as anyone with an understanding of the English language would know, in addition to the stupid belief for "butane, that freezes too easily".

Perhaps you should stick to physical chemistry as English may not be your first language.

[Animal]

he should stick to anything dangerous.

Testing a sodium lamp?

[williamwright]

Good advice. But when I was a child I was the one who used like tormenting the thick kids.

Shut up you horrible man!

Therein lies the problem. If only you'd dug up the JK...

Curiosity piqued. Elucidate.
