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.

Yep. Back in 1989, I had the opportunity to see it from a rather unique perspective. An acting coach of mine was Hungarian and took a small group of thesps for an acting / sightseeing tour to Budapest. In his youth he was a known playwright but had to flee Hungary in WW2 when the Germans arrived. They didn't like his plays against the Nazi regime. He had to leg it out of a theatre one foggy night. He hid in a coal bunker nearby for a week before being smuggled out and into Switzerland. He showed us the coal bunker (it was still there, amazingly) and other sights of his life. Interesting. Scary.Ah Budapest. What a wonderful place.
The language is extraordinary. No connection at all to any other Indo-European tongue.Ah Budapest. What a wonderful place. I fell in love with the city and a girl back in the day.
Egészségére (ega sher gedara) is as far as my attempt to learn the language took me. A handy word for a drinker![]()
