• 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.

Wow, This Would be the basis of a thriller

If you want me to answer the door, you need to knock. My dog will tell me, if I don't hear. I have a fire and a stove to heat my house. I have a kettle you boil on a cooker ring. I have brass switches attached to the walls: switch down = light on, switch up = light off. My fridge is a second-hand, waist-high one with a wee freezer compartment inside - probably manufactured before I was born (and still working!) I have no Hive or Alexa or any AI companion. Turns out I'm very smart indeed!

(On a more serious note, let's not forget that though the majority will be men, it's sometimes tech savvy women who will be the stalkers or abusers. And whatever the gender of the abusers, the abused can just as easily be men.)
