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.

you can get a thing called a VPN which allows you to get whatever you want.

And if you prefer the green and white hoops, the Dubliners Arms at Le Meridien is a Glasgow Celtic pub I believe.

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

As mentioned you will need a VPN, but it must be based in the UK, or at least have a UK IP address.

Failling a VPN you can get IP Bypassers (I have no idea if that's the correct term), however I'm yet to find one with free access that has a UK address, so you'll have to subscribe to a site. Someone emailed me a site the other day, I'll find it and email you.

When you log onto sites like BBC/iplayer the site recognises that you're not in the UK and thus prevents you from accessing the site.

Regarding Ajman - make sure where you're going to live has it's water and electricity connected. For sports, go to the Kempinski hotel, the bar shows the footy etc.

So then how do I get a VPN, install it, and how does it work and what will it allow me to view / access ?? :confused:

I hope you followed The Dean's rules, and was very sure of the sexual history of the Sheep in question if you rode bareback :p
