After half a century of living in the UK most of it watching the Wire my company has given me a posting to China.

As of Saturday I will be Shanghai Wire. I am starting the Shanghai Branch of the Warrington Wolves Supporters Club. As far as I can tell I will be the Chairman, President, Treasurer and founder member.

The first challenge will be finding a way of watching the Wigan match, legally of course.

If anyone is passing through feel free to PM me.

Jesus. Congratulations [?.

That's one great thing about the internet, it allows people to stay in touch many miles away. Quite a few who use the board live miles away-

Yed - London
Sally C - South Africa (or at least used to I think)
Cat - Mars

Congratulations mate

Sally C is Leeds. Good luck Wirral Wire, keep posting. Will you be getting home at all?

Nice one.. what do you do work wise?

Fortune cookie tester.

I work for a Chemical company and will be flogging some of the stuff we make in Warrington to our friends out East. I will be home every couple of months.

Watching the games is a challenge, NRL is on in the expat bars but nothing from UK. Of course football is no problem.

I have a few options for watching the games on the net and Sunday will be my first attempt.

Good luck mate... or as they say in china

forget internet streams in china, their net is so restricted it's untrue, you may even struggle to get on this forum.

Wow - Shanghai is an amazing place. Definitely better to live there than Beijing I would say. You should feel at home anyway as the Bund looks just like the front at Liverpool!

Have a great time and good luck.

If I ever go over for the Chinese GP I'll look you up!!

You read Tony Parsons' "My Favourite Wife"? Are you married?

Just love these companies that send products over to China. within 12 months, they will be copied and the Chinese become market leaders, ergo, redundancies for British workers.

Don't forget, no public speaking, no religious material, no pornography, and the Chinese Royal Family never existed.

Have fun
