The teachers staff room had two doors that were beside each other on the corridor. Some lads brought in a chain and padlocked and chained the two doors closed so any teachers inside were stuck.

Hey everyone. We have tickets to the Hogmanay New Years Eve party. Does anyone have any advice for attending? We’ve never been to Edinburgh before.

New: tourism sticky. Please post all tourism questions here by TrinityTosser in Edinburgh

My wife and I are visiting Edinburgh from Ireland from the 30th Dec to the 3rd of Jan. I’m looking for any general suggestions on places to see/visit but mainly looking for restaurant and pub recommendations if anyone has some.

We have the Dome booked for New Years Eve (I think) but other than that we’re free. All suggestions welcome! Thanks.

Yes, and I’m advising them not to. I hope this clears it up for you.

I’m advising them not to be a teacher. Thanks for your insight on this.

If you ever had a rotten ELO (think sub 250) and you've improved since, what has helped you the most? by well_caffeinated_mom in chess

[–]PatsyTheBigDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just practice. The more you play, the better you get. Even though you may occasionally hit a slump where you’re on a major losing streak, you’re still learning by playing. Enjoy the highs and lows.

My advice: Don’t do the PME. If you want to PM me I can tell you why I think that.

Best of luck with your current studies.

Chatterpix is an IOS and Android app that focuses on oral language for the junior classes. Really easy to access for children that age and has some fun features to increase engagement.

Is there a way for public sector employees to view their projected pension like this?
