• 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.

Hello :) I hope you will have a good time here, and a useful one.

Re: your handle. I've only seen one wasp this summer. I don't like them either; I got a big stinging when I was 19, on a mountainside in the Solway, and auto-immune illness has followed to this day. Tempted to squish the stripey little b*stard, but having only seen the one, put it out of the window.
 
Welcome! I suffered a whole bunch of wasp stings in the summer, when in pruning a hedge I also pruned a wasp's nest. The itchiness a few days later was far worse than the sting, for me...drove me nuts.

Found this site a few weeks back looking for information to publish a book, though I found the advice on the main site good. So here I am, hoping to make some sort of contribution!

So hello everyone :)
Welcome! We're glad you've come — I like your attitude.

Welcome,

Don't listen to anyone else, just me, the rest are mad, I know the way out.
I would go with this guy.

Not true - he's been here too long. He's infected as well. *maniacal cackling*
Oop — never mind.
