Glen Jamieson Said to Dave Drum about COOKING CHEAP  10128

GJ>  GJ> My ISP is tpg.com.au, which also does a mobile phone service.
GJ>  GJ> I have no idea what they do about Usenet.

GJ>  DD> If they offer any NNTP service I'd bet that it is text only -
GJ>  DD> not binaries which tend to eat HUGE amounts of bandwidth. 

GJ> I haven't been able to find it among the services offered.

Then it is probably not offered except at extra co$t or not at all. 
There are specialist services which fill that need.

GJ>  DD> It's a whole different world out there - and one which will
GJ>  DD> demand that you be dragged, kicking and screaming into the 21st
GJ>  DD> century if you wish to participate.

GJ>  GJ> I have barely made it into the 20th century.  I am scared!

GJ>  DD> Just remember, they can kill you but they aren't supposed to
GJ>  DD> eat you.   

GJ> I'm not so sure...   Yesterday, when in Brisbane, my 11 yo grandson,
GJ> who is just starting Grade 7, brought home his first school-issue
GJ> laptop.  It's wifi will only work at school, so at home he is
GJ> restricted to doing the homework he has downloaded at school.  For
GJ> any Interneting he still has to borrow one of his mother's laptops.
GJ> Schooling has changed considerably since I was there...

If he is any sort of computer literate he should be able to hack into 
the restriction watchdog files and set it up to work on his family's 
home Wi-Fi network. Or jack an ethernet cable into the back and hook up 
that way.

GJ>  DD> OTOH, you might ask Keving. He may have some advice/ideas how
GJ>  DD> you can do this on the cheap with not a lot of effort. IIRC,
GJ>  DD> Kevin is good at cheap and easy.

GJ>  DD> Hell, understanding Kevin requires a lot of imagination. Not to
GJ>  DD> mention tolerance and a sense of the absurd. 

GJ> As I have not seen or heard him for the last 3 weeks, I have decided
GJ> that next week will be a "Be kind to Kevin" week, and so I bought
GJ> him a 1.125 litre bottle of Captain Morgan OP rum at the duty free.

Captain Morgan??? ERK, PTUI!!! Might as well have got Rock & Rye or 
Southern Comfort. All are pop-skull drinks capable of causing seriously 
"I have to get better to die" hangovers if over-indulged. And when did 
you ever know Keving to not self-medicate to oblivion?  Bv)=

GJ>  GJ> According to a Vietnamese-born friend who visited there
GJ>  GJ> recently, the places where Nguyen sampled the street-food must
GJ>  GJ> have been cleaned up for the TV cameras, as when she was there,
GJ>  GJ> there was a lot more rubbish lying around.

GJ>  DD> That's what producers are for - to "idealise" the venue.  Bv)=
GJ>  DD> It's ever the same the world over.

GJ> It is always fun to look for items the producer has missed, like
GJ> people in the background doing peculiar things.

I just downloaded the first eight episodes of Series Two. I shall have 
to look. I haven't burnt them off to DVD yet, however.
