I left you a note abt your sci fi story
Small beer, but I left you a note. .https://thestandard.org.nz/open-mike-06-03-2022/#comment-1872158 [lprent: Corrected link. Note to self, I must find the bug that makes comments links fail and fix it. ]
The Story you're trying to recall was first published in 1953 by The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction (Mercury Press). I read it in an anthology called Tales of Terror From Outer Space in 1978. The story is called The Ruum by Arthur Porges. Not a ...
Tricledrown @25. No doubt the children were abused (certainly by modern standards) but I’ve never read anything about them being murdered. If you can provide a link to a reputable source which indicates that such was the case I’d be most interested. Cheers...
At least the s is next to the a..

Yep. In my youth I found his writing interesting and challenging. When he came to NZ (I think late 90's early 2000's) and did a lecture tour on the concept of 'manufacturing consent', my wife and I went to see his lecture on this subject at Waikato ...

What sort of clock Shanreagh? Mechanical or battery? Roughly which part of the country are you? I might be able to advise.
Jerk du cercles?
Hear, hear Patricia.
Who is this Hoskings person, I’ve only been in NZ for seventeen years and I’ve no idea who he is - bur judging by these comments he sounds rather small minded so I won’t bother to find his programme.
Thank you Nic the NZer for putting everyone right about how the banking system - the economy - actually works. When everyone (including politicians) admit that the world’s economy is merely a giant spreadsheet and any country that controls it’s own ...
To Papa Mike: To whom does the ‘printed money’ have to be ‘paid back’?
Perhaps you could devalue the housing market. If you can devalue currency then why not housing - just knock a couple of noughts off the spreadsheet - the vast majority who are merely selling then buying wouldn’t lose anything. The investors in the market, ...
One solution to help curb house price inflation merely requires a little legislation. These days houses, almost uniquely, do not have a price. Stocks and shares have a price, butter and cheese, meat and vegetables have a price, cars have a price, tradies ...
"....but it’s not like Labour have plans that will adequately address the housing and welfare crises.but it’s not like Labour have plans that will adequately address the housing and welfare crises." Sorry? They actually do have plans, as announced in 2017,...
Counting chickens before they're laid, let alone hatched, methinks. Greens are not currently in a position to bargain or demand from. In fact the selective targeting against Labour instead of National is not doing themselves any favours either!
... boarder more rent then? [Thanks Grant will correct. I normally change...
Except that only National found they absolutely needed to create an 'intelligence gathering unit' under Brownlee. Was this it's first scalp?
Kind of think Slater should reap what he has sown.
Anyone care to take odds on the 'Intelligence' Unit being in charge of sanitising all National computer hard drives?
Three questions for Muller: 1. When he found out on Monday about this potential criminal act, why did he not immediately contact Michael Heron QC to simply put him on notice that information had been received but they would like a few hours to seek legal ...
Quite simplistic of me BUT Governments Govern, Business manages. You govern countries to achieve the best outcomes for ALL the population. Managing only achieves limited outcomes for a select few.
Looks to me like the road crew stopping for a break en route to Wellington during lock down......
Another rooster becomes a feather duster?
Each day that passes without any community transmission being apparent is another nail in the media and Mulehead Mullers collective hysterical coffin. 14 days is the number they all seem blind to!
Claiming slight relevance. NASCAR evolved from the bootlegging runs in the Southern States. Fast cars with modifications were used in order to outrun the federal excise officers. Eventually competitions were held between competing bootleggers. The ...
1. The payments were always going to have an element of trust involved with the proviso that checks would be made after the fact. Step out of line and you will be exposed. 2. More than a tad abhorrent to use 'blackmail' to further someone else's agenda ...
