Hello friends. I'll be relocating to Manchester at the end of Sept and staying through the end of the year. Very excited about the expat opportunity my company has provided me, but will certaintly miss the family. Since my stay will be rather short, no sense relocating everyone for only 4 months. Besides the family, I will miss the bulk of the college football season and my MSU Spartans! If there are any other fans out there, I'd love to hear from you and determine how best to stay connected to the games- I may just have to set up a slingbox account and record the games back home. I doubt too many local pubs carry the games.
Currently looking for a serviced appt - Dunsgate (sp?) looks like the best option for now.
Looking forward to meeting some new friends on this on-line community and if you're solo in Manchester like I'll be, let's meet for a pint of warm non carbonated ale sometime!
