snip
you don't know of any seeds i can sow now
it is just the children are taking an interest and i don't want to
disappoint them , (5yrs old)

Well, its bulb season now, including hyacinths , which you can grow in those
special glass jars where you can see the roots. And then there are those
really big bulbs (amaryllis?) which can grow as high as a 3 or 4 year old.
Its the right time of year for them and they are indoor plants, we used to
buy those for our kids at Xmas but I would think you can buy them now.
You could also try germinating the everyday seeds such as apple and orange
pips, avocados, dates, etc. Do a google you'll find germinating
instructions. Its probably the wrong time of year for these as well, but
they will at least germinate in the warmth of an airing cupboard or similar.

Grow beansprouts indoors - 3 to 4 days from sowing to eating.

Try a 'jungle' - Saucer, damp kitchen paper. A couple of carrot or
parsnip tops, some mustard and cress seeds, mung beans, any other seeds
you have around. For fun, add a plastic dinosaur or two and watch the
jungle grow over their heads.

Jim, sorry to butt in, but I haven't seen the ABC for ages now, possibly
since I changed isp. It could be that others are not seeing it either. Is
it a possibility that some isps don't post it or something, or is there
another reason?

I do want to see it although I don't need to see it.
That's why I asked as others may not have seen it either.
I can't help it if it's not being posted here. I know I can look on
google - others may not.

The ABC turned up today as usual, K. My isp weeds out spammed adverts,
but evidently doesn't identify endless repetitions of the ABC as such.
Possibly yours does? Or your newsreader settings do?

But, you see, it *is* being posted here, and at regular intervals too.
Are you quite sure you haven't inadvertently put a block on it somewhere
in your options?

Ah! I think I've solved it. I have a rule for posts exceeding 65 lines -
that's probably why!

Just looked at my rules again and I've set one for posts exceeding 65 lines
so that must be the answer.
Thanks

The spam which, according to you, your ISP is weeding, is from your email.
Usenet is an entirely different internet activity.
How did you manage to persuade your ISP to remove spam? A few days ago we
had a discussion in which some folk maintained that such an arrangement was
illegal, since both sender and receiver were supposed to agree that the ISP
may do a bit of cleaning up.

What they maintained was based on none sense. Ask about it on
uk.net.news.c and you will find that what I said at the time was
correct.
