Hello everyone, my name is Mike and I'm an alcoholic.

Um...

Oh, I mean, I'm 29 and I moved over on Tuesday. Lived in London before from 2004-2007 and now I'm back. Hopefully moving to Finsbury Park in the next couple of days.

Big fan of Arsenal, Game of Thrones, coffee, craft beer and making new friends.

I'm Patrick, 22 and just finished college at home in Waterford. Moved over two weeks ago looking for work and got lucky already so starting working in City of London in two weeks time.

Like socialising, football and playing poker. Also looking fora place to live so give me a shout if ye have anything.

I'm Steve, just moved in with my girlfriend in south London, won't say where exactly but it would remind you of Ranelagh back in Dublin a bit and has The Irish shop.
Work at sea, enjoy basketball, rugby, reading, cooking, travel, pints & sailing. Recently started doing a bit of voluntary work during the weekdays with a group who provide sailing sessions to disabled people both young & old in Surrey Quays called tidalwaves Sailability. If you would like to find them they are based beside the Southwark watersports centre in Surrey Quays.

Hi I'm Colin. I moved here four months ago and still looking for a job (might have to go back to Ireland soon!)

Can't believe how difficult it's been to find work.

Anyway, I live in Southgate and enjoy running, reading, and of course Landan -

Hi All,

I'm Hilary...moved over on Sunday. Currently subletting in Camden but probably going to move SW in a month or two, combination of the sublet being up/all of the sports I want to be involved in are more easily accessible in SW.

I work with Bord Bia selling food/am a masters student in Smurfit...going see how it goes for the year. So far, so good...speed flatmating was an interesting experience last night!

What type of work are you looking for?

I've changed my mind about how this thread works, and think that it makes more sense to allow for general chat as well as introductions and welcomes.

With that being said, belated hellos to Awayindahills and John_P_S

Hi martin! Glad to hear you're enjoying it here - have you been here long?

To be fair it was reading your post that made me realise the "no chat" rule kind of stomped all over the introductions, so you're grand

From my point of view I'd say it doesn't get easier but you will get better at handling it and it becomes natural

I found myself in a similar state when I first moved but now I find whenever I go home the place is so slow it drives me up the wall
