<font color="plum"><H2>Cloudy's Cafe</H2></font>

Come in, be welcome, be comfortable, be yourself

Welcome to Cloudy's Cafe, a place to have a cup of coffee or a good
darjeeling and the finest in conversation and camaraderie.

The proprietor asks that you follow a few simple guidelines:

<H2>this is a real conversation zone, not a role-play zone</H2>

[i]* no flaming; if you disagree with a viewpoint expressed by any patron, please do so in a civil manner
* any topic is fair game, but keep posts to the standards that Ziroc has set for the entire forum, please (ie: foul language is not appropriate and things should be suitable for all audiences)
-a side note from Cloudy: I see this as a place for those short
conversations about a new baby or the latest soccer fiasco, not for things that are big enough to warrant their own threads, by all means give those things the space they need and post separately!
* Please, no one word or smiley posts (Ziroc has declared them 'real spam' and the proprietor doesn't want the reputuation of "good spam" to suffer!)
* do feel free to be serious or silly and enjoy the company of others while you are here. By all means POST if you have something to say, even to start another topic , we can handle multiple chats, we're a CAFE!!! But be courteous and don't disrupt a conversation just to disrupt it.[i]

Come on in! The bar is stocked with coffees, teas, juices and waters from around theworld. And purple napkins, of course!

<font color="pink">The lighting is low, the golden oak counters and tables glow with inviting warmth. Near the window, the lighting is brighter, as comfy, plush leather armchairs wait for those who'd like to read a book while relaxing to music or just lazily watch the world go by.</font>

Cloudy, your hostess [img]graemlins/ladyhearts.gif[/img]

Hi, how is everyone this morning? Beautiful day here in London!

EDIT: Well **** me sideways! That's the first time I ever got first post in the cafe - HAH you kids may think you can spam better than anyone, but don't mess with the master... er.. mistress... oh OK whatever, I've had too much caffeine this morning. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hi Epona, Hi Cloudy,

Just dropping by in my lunch break [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm sure its nice here in Cmabridge, but I can't see outside so I can't say for sure :D

ROTFL! Epona, you've had too much caffeine and possibly too little sleep.... and uh.... hmmm... have you been drilling folks again? ;)

Good morning! I got up a bit early today, decided to see if our IW was back online and here it is! :D

Hi Simon! They don't have you locked in the basement, surely? [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Enjoy your lunch!

Simon! [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] Long time no see on IW... how are you lately?

Hi Epona [img]smile.gif[/img] fellow Englander ;)

I got to bed early last night for a change! (about 1am). I feel very refreshed and awake, I must do that more often.

I've been keeping a tight rein on Phil, he'll just go get himself into trouble if I don't watch him like a hawk - his drill is currently idle but it could easily be revved up again - why, do you have any victims in mind? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Uh-oh, I think you woke him up....

Good Morning Simon! Betcha wish my old window was there, huh? :D

I was just looking at the previous thread and saw a chat about mysteries. I loved the Cadfael books! Only saw a few that were actually filmed and have caught a few Lovejoys, but never read the books. I love the medieval murder mystery books! :D I've also been reading a few Peter Tremayne works. There's another author (Lindsey Davis) I just bought (haven't read yet) who sets the books in Rome of about 73 AD.

oops gonna run to work soon!

good day, everybody! i just got back from school. im soooo tired! how is everyone? [img]smile.gif[/img]

No thank God, our basement is a nuclear bunker!!! and since its been decommissioned it has no ventilation and blast proof doors. You suffocate if you had to stay down there.

Hi Avatar, good to see you again:)

Cloudy: we have windows but the sunlight fearing people we have here all draw the blinds. grrr
