• 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
    • Don't take 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.

Poetry 21st Century Song of Summer

The World Between the Words
men a-quaffin’ the juice of hops

tills a-chingin’ in garden shops

bands a-playin’ on city sprees

birds a-cooin’ in urban trees

guys a-wooin’ as hemlines rise

peeps a-scoffin’ al fresco pies

kids a-laughin’ in busy streets

girls a-chattin’ on social meets

teens a-cruisin’ the latest craze
mums a-cussin’ on school-less days
