• 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

    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.

Be aware that there are fraudulent emails appearing that claim to be something to do with ‘remittance advice’.

It’s not a new scam, as I first received one a couple of years ago after joining Audible to market my audiobooks.

This ‘Remittance Advice’ email may be costlier than you think

The latest version is titled workday-noreply@audible.com with the opening of the message saying “Attention: PAUL WHYBROW Remittance Document received Audible has proces”

I almost opened it, as it arrived on the same day as a message from ACX updating me on the latest earnings from Audible.

Apparently, it’s not just Audible that’s being used as a front—users of eBay and Amazon have received them too.
