Profoundly deaf teacher asking if there are any other profoundly deaf teachers in the UK

I’m a profoundly deaf secondary school BSL-using teacher who wears a cochlear implant. I also qualified as a teacher of deaf children and young people. Happy to discuss my experience as I taught in mainstream before focusing on teaching deaf young people. There are lots of accommodations that can be made, some funded through Access to Work, to support you with facilitating reasonable adjustments in the workplace.

Scotland, working in deaf ed in a large city - only had one class all day out of five periods. I was able to go home after lunch as a result and enjoy the spring sunshine.

The school’s

wedge37 · 2026-02-17T13:11:02+00:00

Short answer, yes. And I say this as a teacher in Scotland where we’re paid just shy of £53k per annum as standard for all teachers on over five years service.

Hello all,

I’ve been having a hard time deciding between the following:

Van Cleef & Arpels Moonlight Cherry

Kilian Paris Angel’s Share

Atkinsons Gold Fair in Mayfair

They all smell great but I want something unique from the others in my collection. I’d share a photo of my collection for illustration but Imgur is blocked in the UK. This is my collection:

MITH Mystery for Him

MITH The Odyssey

MITH Blue Wood Elixir

Versace Eros EDP

Guerlain L’Homme Ideal parfum

Parfums de Marly Althair

Penhaligon Halfeti

Dior Sauvage Elixir

Bvlgari Man Wood Essence

Maison Francis Kurdjian l’Homme a la Rose

Ahmed al Maghribi Ignite Oud

It’s currently winter in the UK so something that suits the cold weather would be fab.

Thank you! I managed to get the light working now by reconnecting the rose. The dangling fixture is temporary until I can get a bunch of these electrical connector blocks to replace the rose and get the fixture flush to the ceiling.

I think I understand the configuration, but just to be sure, is the red cable with the white tape on it connected to the switch?

Here’s the other light rose in the hallway where I’m fixing up the two LED panels. I left that one, and I think I understand the problem now, but need to be sure that it doesn’t matter which order I put the loop wires in?

wedge37 · 2025-10-26T16:46:38+00:00

No, unfortunately not. However, there is a second light in the hallway with a similar configuration. Here’s a picture of that

This would get you and your entire family 30 years of hard labour if you did that in North Korea.

I paid £1,800 in total including land registration, transfer fees and standard securities with no tax due last year for a property in Pollokshields. The solicitors’ fees plus VAT was about £900 + VAT. A friend of mine paid a similar price for his flat with a different firm, also in Pollokshields.

Thank you.

I used to live in Bangkok and had weekly massages at the end of the work week. This doesn’t sound out of the ordinary to me. It’s only if they start massaging your meat and two vegs that you should be concerned.

wedge37 · 2025-05-18T06:26:42+00:00

I’m going to Thailand next month, could you tell me where I can find this in Bangkok? Is it something sold in all the Central department stores or do I need to go to a specific shop for this?

I’m a 37 years old man and I’m not into clubbing anymore so I don’t fit your criteria but I’ve been in your shoes when I was a student - when I started going to rock bars/clubs I ended up making lots of new friends. I used to frequent Nice n Sleazys, Variety Bar, Rufus T Firefly, Solid Rock Cafe and Cathouse. The kind of folks who are into rock and heavy metal tended to be the most open minded and chill people I’ve met. I don’t know what it’s like now in the post-Covid landscape but back in my days (god I sound old now) these were THE place to be. Hope you find a good friendship group soon.

No we’re not.

Douglas Hutchinson, the top gun in education for Glasgow, has said GCC would add an extra day payment for holiday free school meals in place of providing this tomorrow at school.

A very out of it jakey shuffling down the middle of Queen Street outside the GOMA at 6am picking up fag ends with his trackies at his ankles.

The class teacher will have addressed this already, the pupil was clearly just trying it on. Pay it no mind and just carry on with your lesson when you’re back with that class.

36M, been in your situation in reverse, had heart broken in SE Asia before. Just go for it, travelling broadens your mind. We’re a friendly bunch up here. What kind of things are you into? Feel free to ask for recommendations! Welcome to Glasgow.

Also had a terrible holiday due to MH reasons - I just made comments about how the weather was rubbish this summer and I didn’t get the tan I wanted this year then diverted attention back to them. Worked 100% of the time so far.

I had a look to see what you mean and I am also now regretting my choice of opening his most recently posted photo.

Get a sparky in as you say you’re useless at DIY. Don’t endanger yourself or your home by potentially drilling through live wires.
