• 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…

I watched that movie every night, for a while, to get through a really bad time. That and Fight Club. I defy anyone not to cry, watching that movie, no matter how many times they've seen it — the former, that is. Not the latter.
