• 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.

"The benefits of being a mature well-educated woman is that you're not afraid of expletives. And you have no fear to put a fool in his place. That's the power of language and experience. You can learn a lot from Shakespeare."

Judi Dench

Don't see the logic here. Lots of immature, ill-educated women swear. Perhaps more so as they lack the vocab of those more fortunate.
Ah, but the women of whom you speak wouldn't dare swear in front of someone in a higher position than they are -- the lady above has sworn in front of the Queen. The real one. And not apologised.
Of course, that may be no more than rumour ... in which I would never participate.
