Moving to Brisbane from London in two weeks...

Hey all out there,

I have just accepted a new job in Brisbane and looking for advice/tips/new friends(!). I am starting a new job in the Agnes and was wondering about the social life out there? Also, unusually for a chick, I am a massive football fan - am I being stupid by asking whether you get any Premier League games out there?

Thanks all bx

don't worry men outnumber women in the 25-40 category by 4 to 1 you'll make lots of friends also many pubs show a bit of footie including the Premier League.

Which is your team?

Welcome and enjoy your stay.

jacky really ? I dunno why i always feel like there are more women than men , like when you go out and stuff ..

but it might be that i am just on the lookout for them .. plus my buisness trips to saudi might be messing me up haha

Yeah I read that in one of the papers a while back but it does factor in all the laborers and excludes all the women who are on "visit" visas. So on a regular night out the ratio is a lot better.

Having said that though I gots to hang out with you, I like your vision.

both great games,

So guys, tell me about the social scene. I have seen from the other posts that there is a "lively" social scene - but there also seems to be alot of people that are finding it hard to meet people. I'm coming out a few days before I start work and was hoping to go out somewhere to hang out (!!) and meet people - any recommendations?

Also, is this the right place to find out about yoga and pilates in Brisbane?
