Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.
This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.
Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…
We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Where are you hiding them? Or did you drink the glass as well?We had the bestest time. I foresee a regular event.
Meeting the fabulous @Mel L was the highlight of the week. Thank you, Mel, for your company and chat and for taking the long train ride. It was so lovely to finally meet you.
Re photo, please note: it may look like we shared a half pint of beer but ..... There are several glasses not in the photo.

Are you offering help with the drinking?There's help out there
Only if you're buying. You get 'em in and I'll see 'em off.Are you offering help with the drinking?
Not going to tell tales about who drunk who under the table but that glass was definitely half full!First hide the evidence then denial. Sadly, all the signs are there.
There's help out there if you're just prepared to take the first step.![]()
