Forget sharp sand as a remedy for a poor lawn....the ultimate cure...paving and far less time consuming...
Well that's the remedy taken by just about everybody else in my street/area/life in general. I'm convinced that the need for a third runway at Heathrow is mainly down to the problem of knotweed in the area. As St Evil will no doubt confirm
(that's your cue, Mr Saint....and in three two one....oh...) the spores get carried in the wind, block the vents of the Boeing 666 and they all crash into the Feltham Kwik-E-Mart. Mind you, everyone else in my street/area/life in general has at least three cars. I have none. Mind you, you need a car out here in the sticks. We've only got 4 trains an hour to Vic, 4 trains an hour to Waterloo, buses that do all the diagonal bits, and the Northern Line 20 mins away.
In the meantime, if you're using IE8, a reminder that you could click the compatability icon on the first browser toolbar (looks like a page torn in half). This sets it back to IE 7 behaviours, which are a little less energetic. Copy your post content before clicking the button though and then paste it back in, otherwise you'll lose it.
Ahh yes, I distinctly remember forgetting about this. And it works! All was well until I inserted Jules quote. Then I couldn't do anything without it bouncing. I copied, hit the button, pasted...and all this bit is now behaving properly! Now let's see those sheds!
