Last week I left Dublin and moved to Manchester and last Monday I found a flat already! However, the paperwork involved is still keeping me to move in. In the meantime I'm staying at Rob's place, who's kindly hosting me. I still have to get a National Insurance number and a bank account, then gas, electricity, broadband... the boring side of moving abroad.

Manchester City
Anyway, I'm already getting up to speed on Codethink stuff, the work environment looks great and the workmates are awesome! Cannot talk much about the project I'm going to be working on, you know, SecretStuff(TM), but it's gonna be really cool! Stay tuned :-)
welcome to manchester :-)

First thing for living in Manchester - go and buy yourself an umbrella.
Second thing for living in Manchester - go and buy yourself an umbrella for when the first one gets broken by the wind!
Good luck with your move. Manchester is a great city. I work in Salford Quays myself.

@Andrew:
I was living in Dublin, so no real difference there :-) Thanks for the tips.
