Debate for Yourselves

By Madeleine Whittaker

Often at Enigin we will debate in our lunch time anything from our favourite food through to major world events, such as the Climate Change Conference in Cancun - COP16.

People enjoy a good debate don’t they. A good rant about something your passionate about can be very invigorating and enlivening. The word debate has many meanings and when mentioned to someone can create different reactions and feelings.

News Comes and Goes

Well that headline seems to have long passed - everyone got over the excitement of the Royal Wedding fairly quickly! I suppose it will all hype up again when it gets closer though. There are much more urgent things to think about now though as this season comes into full swing.

With the weather here in the UK, which we definately do not want to linger over in discussing, winter has come quick and hard, and we aren’t at all used to it. But, as I said, we do not want to linger on that tiresome subject which has been the main headlines of the country for over a week. Bored now!

Bells are ringing, Royally

Well the Royal Wedding of the century is currently headline news and well under way of being arranged, in case you didn’t already now. With the bells of Westminster Abbey ringing loud in the streets of London the young couple are already planning and arranging their billion pound party.

It is amazing what does get into the headlines today really. And it is changing on a daily basis. With the media hyping up this royal engagement and making a large deal about it, it makes me ask why is it such a big deal?

On the news this week they were discussing the new technology available on the iPhone with facebook. Goodness knows how many people are connected to facebook, let alone who are using it on the phone, virtually 24/7.

A week for politics - Enigin

What a week for politics, in the UK anyway!The general election for a new UK government.

Though really it’s been more like a month. So much work leading upto something that usually gets decided in one day, though as we know not on this occasion.

Personally I do not have much interest in the politics whatsoever. So the endless news stories, debates, “breaking news” was of no interest to me and truly started to get annoying.
