• 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.

Great video. Obviously Vietnam war era. I lot of great anti-war songs from those days.

I often think of the song, 'Universal Soldier' by Buffey Sainte-Marie...

He's five foot two and he's six feet four
He fights with missiles and with spears
He's all of 31 and he's only 17
Been a soldier for a thousand years
