• 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.

    • Don't give offence

She is spectacular
Never met her, but I did correspond professionally with her husband, Paul du Feu. (As the newest journalist, and the only one on the mag who hadn't already told him 'No chance', I was given the job of signing his rejections.) He was a character, the first nude cover model for Cosmo UK, and briefly married to Germaine Greer.
