Really? Thats whats hot?

What a good idea to introduce a Hot Topic but come on, is your fave cafe really a HOT topic?

Surely the price of milk and the commerce commission being unable to come to a decision on wether an inquiry should be made is a hot topic!? Or even the RWC and how it is going to affect you?

I am an intelligent woman as are most of us on here (barring the few men we get occasionaly lol!) and cafes and baby smiles arent hot topics and they arent all my life is about and all i am capable of thinking about.

Maybe the cafe one might inform some people so could come in handy I guess. The "what your child does to make you smile" one is hardly riveting though, plus not everyone on this site had a child.

You could always choose to start your own thread on something "intelligent"...and leave the cafes to the coffee lovers!

...I think it's important to try and be supportive too!! just read and comment on the things that interest you

I agree with Bizzy - would be good to get some more juicy topics up there

Think maybe they are trying to keep them non-controversial!

Haha, if I never heard anything about the Rugby World Cup again I would be SO HAPPY.

there is already an in the news thread - i guess thats better for the serious stuff

Nice to chat about something that shouldnt get peoples backs up

hee hee too true

Yes call it topic of the day cause "hot topic" bored me after the first reply as I thought finally a "HT" on here

as for my answer on it, I never really had time to sit in a cafe when my kids were preschoolers...don't think I missed out on anything

@nathansmummy, a friend from coffee group reckoned that Windsor cafe had a policy which meant you couldnt bring in your own food for your kiddies. Have you ever found this?
I have heard that the Library Cafe is the same- though Ive been there, it was when I was still only BFding.

Hi Bizzy :)
Sometimes Hot Topics can be light and some can be topical...
The intention of the first one was to share some ncie warm fuzzies...
I don't know about you but I'm tired of depressing news in the media all the time, and I figured that what makes you smile is a nice topic to make other people share their happiness.
The Cafe one was inspired by conversation in the office here about where to take the kids - so it was a Hot topic in the office here at least :)
They don't have to be hard line Hot topics - they can become a drag sometimes, that's not to say they don't have their place and we'd LOVE to hear some topics that you'd like to have as HOT topics :) we'd be more than happy to work with them :)

Equally we'd love some hot topics that help us all to feel encouraged and inspired :)
Thanks!

Is complaining about the hot topic a little like complaining about a TV show and needing to be reminded that you can change the channel or turn the TV off? I also consider myself an 'intelligent' woman but I come on this site largely on the premise that it is about pregnancy, babies, children and all things related to that - if I desire riveting debate about the separation of Sudan or the downgrading of America's credit rating there are plenty of other avenues for that...
