• 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.

Last night I dreamed of Samantha

Who tore at my throat like a panther

Then she started to chew

My oesophagus too

And I don’t think I’ll try to romance her

.

Molly told me she was a mig welder

And I felt red-hot heat as I held her

She loved the bright arcs

And all of the sparks

But my gas-weld technique just repelled her

.

Sally drank a full bottle of whisky

Which made her feel fruity and frisky

She said she had time

If I had the rhyme

But the glint in her eye was too risky

.

I met Yasmin in old Istanbul

With her lips oh so luscious and full

She told me she cared

But I was too scared

‘Cos her Dad was called Yusuf-The-Bull

.

I fancied Colleen from Kilkenny

With beauty like hers there ain’t many

When I asked for a kiss

She said, “Give me a miss

I save all my loving for Jenny”
