Hi Mandy,
Tell hubby that Setanta is coming onto Foxtel then Austar satelite channels within the next few weeks,im looking forward to it.
You can also catch the games in some of the Irish bars or take a trip to Brisbane to the Rangers Supporters Club up there,i just might head up there for the Old Firm Game,theres also a Celtic Supporters club up there too,if anyones interested,though that ones not for me!

Good luck with the house sale

Give us a shout when your over and we'll meet up for a beer in Surfers.
You can pick our brains if you need to and the missus likes any excuse for a drink or two.

Good luck for the future and enjoy your visitors

Great post Brido,

Glad its all going well. It has to be said I love it here but I'm with Julie the old girly nights are lacking. Especially now since she who will remain nameless is now pregnant. We went to surfers and was home for 11

My OH has taken over with nites out with the boys WTF thats not on.

Hope you continue to love it here and the business goes from strength to strength.
