You have an unusual idea about gravy. what's the prob?



I just only like a little on my meat nothing else. Always been the same, to
me it destroys the taste of everything else it's on, makes the whole meal
taste and look the same. Probably because my mother always used a gravy boat
and let everyone serve themselves gravy, I never did.

I am collaterally related to Sir Humphrey Davey (which is not
surprising for anyone with Cornish ancestry), and have the attitude
to gravy immortalised by E.C. Bentley.

And you do that, do you?

Sounds good to me, we usually have 'Popovers' as my family called them
with a veggie roast dinner.

Chips and gravy in giant yorkshire, now there is something to fill you
up :-)

I never used to have gravy when I was a kid, Helen still doesn't, nor
does one of the kids.

It's a US$3.95 one off charge then free.



After a lot of research I've decided to try Teranews at US $3.95 one
off payment and so far it's doing OK.
I shall continue to use NIN for non-binary Ngs.


Presumably, there is some daily download limit on Teranews for that
price?

Typically news servers for binary groups charge a fee for a fixed time,
and/or for a certainly amount of download

turns out they had a tie up with Giganews which is finishing, and
suggesting we all migrate to Giganews directly (from US$4.99 to

per month!). Makes News.individual.net look cheap.

Good luck with Teranews. What made you decide on them? How are they at
removing the spam?

I used to be with NIN, but then my sub lapsed at a time I wasn't reading
newsgroups. I'm currently using Eternal September I think, and I can't
say I'm seeing any spam really on the groups I read anyway (barring the
odd one, now and again)
