Topical Tuesday is a new meme intended to inspire the art of discussion via our blogs. Each week, on a Tuesday, a new topic will be placed on the main site for people to post about. Topics are open, and don't necessarily need to be intended for serious discussion - after all a meme should be nothing if not fun!

We are looking for people to act as topic contributors. If you would like to be involved please

Topical Tuesday #17 The Time To Tell Them

Posted by Colin Brooks on Monday, 23-Jun-08 at 11:03 PM CET

Topic :: The Time To Tell Them

I struggled a lot coming up a concise title for this week’s topic but I think this will cover it. This week’s topic is twofold.

You are invited to write a blog entry, a letter or even a poem (if that’s your thing) to someone. This someone could be someone you know very well or it could be a stranger you met briefly but who had a great impact on you. It could be to your partner, your parents or your high school teacher who believed in you. It could even be to someone you have never met before but whose actions you read or heard about and changed the way you see something. Your post should be about how they affected you and how one thing (maybe even more than one thing) they did, big or small, gave you strength, inspired you or changed your life. Tell them how you feel and how much they mean to you. It doesn’t matter if you have told them before, do it again.

Once you are done, try to find them and tell them. If you don’t feel comfortable telling them in person hand them the letter or send them the link to your post. You can even send them the letter anonymously.

We hope you enjoy this week’s Topical Tuesday. Remember to come back next week or subscribe to our RSS feed to be notified automatically when the next topic is up. As always, make sure you leave a comment under this topic to let us and everybody else participating know that your entry has been posted and remember to link back so that more people find out.

Do you have a specific side of the bed you have to sleep in? Do you snore? Do you drool on the pillow? Do you sleep in a unique position? Are you a kicker? Do you take over the whole bed? Pyjamas or underwear? Underwear or in the buff? Wake up at the crack of dawn or sleep until noon? Do you hear the alarm clock or do you need a bomb to go off next to your ear so you can wake up? What are your sleeping habits?

Well how could it be avoided. Everyone is talking about the Oscars. Who are your winners? Who should be the losers? This is your chance to give the awards you want to the ones you really wanted to win. Who would they be?

 

Topical Tuesday #8 My Most Hated Celebrity

Posted by Colin Brooks on Tuesday, 23-Oct-07 at 08:36 AM CET

Topic :: My Most Hated Celebrity

There used to be a time when we had celebrities because we liked them but this is no longer the case. People become (or are made into) celebrities for all the wrong reasons, leading to them being hated by us mere mortals. Who is the celebrity you dislike most? And even though a two word post ("Paris Hilton") would be very valid I’m sure you can do better than that.

Topic :: The Greatest Superhero

Time for an amusing topic I think. So tell me, who do you consider to be the greatest superhero creation of all time? Does Spider Man fit rather nicely into your web? Is Superman just a man with his knickers on the outside and a penchant for tights?

 

Topical Tuesday #5 My First Job

Posted by Colin Brooks on Monday, 01-Oct-07 at 11:01 PM CET

Topic :: My First Job

Welcome to another Topical Tuesday. This week’s topic is about the first job you had. No matter how big or small, it was a job. It was possibly a job that hardly paid your rent. It might have been a job that defined your future career. Whatever it was, the time has come to share with the world the intimidation, excitement and your story of your first adventure in the grown up world of money-making. Haven’t had a job yet? Then tell us what you’d like to do for your first job and what you would be looking for or how it feels to be out of one whether you’re looking forward to having one or not.
