    Moving to Singapore!

    Wifey has been offered a role with her firm in Singapore, just waiting on paperwork but looking good, probably by year end.

    Yeehaw!

    Anyone lived there, any advice on agencies, job hunting, accommodation (Actually, way of getting telly from here there - heard the tv is pretty dire)?
    Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

    Any forum is a collection of assorted weirdos, cranks and pervs - Board Game Geek

    That will be a simply fab time to catch up for a beer. - Tay

    Have you ever seen somebody lick the chutney spoon in an Indian Restaurant and put it back ? - Cyberghoul

          OK, sounds reasonable - suggestion of who to rent from, and how to stream (Software to use for streaming directly, method to get say bbc/sky etc?)

          Or can I get an online sky subscription, and stream that from VPN .. hmm.

            Hmmm Good move long term. Have been seriously thinking about Singapore myself.

                well done, Singapore is one of the nicest places on the planet (apart from the lack of seasons).

                For accommodation I'd recommend the Central Square apartments.

                  Yes exactly. I'm sure you're resourceful enough to find a provider. Will cost about ten quid a month.
