Re: Just introducing myself
Hope being endearing isnt classed as being offensive.
Just nice to know i am going to be living and in contact with like minded people. Dont get me wrong i am open minded and have friends from all divides and nationalities. Nice to see that you are well travelled. Been about a bit myself. Six years in South Africa, worked in most eastern european countries as well as Tanzania and 5 years in China. Add to this Mary Hill in Glasgow, Ballymana, Antrim and Belfast i have been around a bit. Sure that Ajman will be a bit different although not as bad as Karachi where i spent a miserable 6 months.

Anyway tell me a bit about you, where you are and what you know about where i am going if you dont mind. Any info would help.
Thanks in advance

First (and last) football game I ever attended. My dad took me. He was a great Thistle fan, as is my brother today.
Unfortunately, I was a Celtic fan at the time!

Re: Just introducing myself
Quick question,
How is the internet access there,
I want to register with sky sports and movies and setanta sports so that i can view on-line and also would like to watch BBC i player when in Ajman. Am i going to find any difficulties picking up these services when i am there once i get broadband installed in my apartment? Dont want to register and pay for something before i go and find that i cant get it once i am there.
Thanks,
Gary

Re: Just introducing myself
Is there real restrictions on sites that i can access over there or can i just basically google any UK site and get there. I know in China i had a nightmare and couldnt watch anything i wanted to but was hoping if i subscribed to sky sports before i leave the uk i would be able to watch online live sports events. Im sure they have the same content available on TV there as i have seen it advertised in sports bars.
