• 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…

    • Don't give offence

    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.

To mark D-Day I had to watch Casablanca, uncut, in all its glory. Fascinating to note how many quotes, titles, lines have been lifted from this masterpiece to use in future films, stories and novels. A funny line I enjoyed, After a warning given to a tourist couple: “Oh, we hear very little and understand even less!” Here's to the comfort of blissful ignorance.

Yes, and we like to watch The Longest Day each year. We actually knew Ray Danton (look him up on IMDB). But I love some of the lines in that one, especialy Richard Burton's:
