• 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.

Where is Cairns?

I've been watching Offspring. I love it so much. These people are free and easy about just about everything.

They call their boyfirend/girlfriends family in-laws before they're married -- think nothing of having children before getting married -- call intercourse sexing -- and are generally .. delightful.

Perhaps saying I was stuck in Burnley, wasn't being kind to the nice people who live here. There are plenty of places I'd rather be, but in Burnley the air is clear, the countryside breathtaking and the accent... a challenge.
 
My first book was a children's book and a homage to Steve Irwin. The characters being animals and the moral was to promote conservation and equality. Then I started to explore science fantasy, with witches and Pendle Hill being on my doorstep. My last book, which I've just transferred to a screenplay, is called 'A Love to Live for', and has been my favourite book because it allowed me to tackle my fear of dying and my lack of a faith.
 
Welcome aboard!
Would question the sanity of a man that moves from Australia to the shit hole that is England, but then, you are a writer, so your sanity is already forfeit.;)

My dad's an Aussie, my mother is English, and after toing and froing as a kid, I met my wife in London, and the rest is history. Just need to sell some books and I'll be writing on a veranda watching the fireflies dance and the marsh flies feast on my lily white legs.

Steve Irwin...so terrible...such a joyful presence. High energy. I sometimes feel if there are 'types' of people. the broadest distinction would be high energy and low energy. Those who energise you, those who at least do not cost you energy, those you can spare energy for, and the lowest energy, where you could never supply enough volts, whatever you did.
 
Welcome to the Colony! I've always found the witch trials at Pendle Hill fascinating. Looking forward to reading some of your work here.
