• 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.

Fanfare! Living the high life all thanks to my writing :-)

Something I co-wrote with another scribbler of this parish today finally came up trumps. It produced earnings from our labours and has made all that slog worthwhile.

My royalty funded one of the poppadums in tonight’s curry takeaway.

I now think I understand what life as JK Rowling must be like.

What price a naan bread next time.

And it wasn't on the house??? The poppadum, that is.

JK gets freebies.
No I had to pay. But he’s dangled a carrot.

He told me that if I’m interviewed on local radio at some point in the future and I give the restaurant a shout-out, there’s a year’s worth of free “all I can handle” pickle tray with my name on it.

Now that’s what I CALL an incentive.
