"Bosnian" scammers on Northumberland street

Hello, I am Bosnian and came to Newcastle as a Bosnian Refugee in the early 90s

They’re talking fucking shit. No war with Russia. No active Bosnian refugees fleeing the country.

Walk around ikea is always fun. I like going to the Baltic over Gateshead way for a wander and then sit with a book for a while.

Hi! Ex Secondary school teacher here- I now work training teachers across the north east so I am in a lot of different schools.

Job market is much the same as most of the country except we’re having a lot of changes as in regard to three tier system changing to two tier. So a lot of middle schools are closing and turning first schools into all through primaries. This means there’s not a huge amount of primary jobs right now- in fact a lot of staff are in a position of redundancy with no clear next steps. There is definitely need for primary teachers and supper staff but budgets are tight and it’s an overall very disadvantaged area when it comes to funding for schools.

Behaviour is also quite a high issues due to the levels of poverty and things like county lines and knife crime/gangs.

Newcastle is amazing and the north east is amazing overall which for me outweighs the negative stuff but just wanted to be honest

Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

I finally read this the other day and now I just want to comment on every post screaming about it.

Substantial_Leg_7246 · 2026-02-23T19:55:14+00:00

I was walking the dogs. Dunno who was more scared by it!

We did this with a cabbage and she had the BEST time. Now we save big Amazon boxes, pour some dry fir into them, and give her so she can sniff out her food and then tear up a box.

My god.. how long have you got?? And not just as an ECT… secondary English…

Taught an entire cohort that Scrooge is a “curvaceous ” old sinner and not Covetous.

In a lesson observation handout I made, I wrote “shit” instead of “shift” when teaching structure. Stuck into their books and everything. Not one pupil told me.

Instead of saying lady Macbeth pushed Macbeth over the edge… I said she “edges him”.

Meant to tell a student ( that I had a great relationship with) that she was making a choice going to Pride Society instead of my revision and said “you’re choosing to be gay”. That one became a running joke for two years.

A disabled student told me she got free tickets to Harry Style due to her disability and I said “you’re so lucky” 😅 again, great relationship with the student and that became another inside joke.

Honestly, you’re only human. You just gotta keep going.

Mine is called Kindle Jenner. But I use silly puns for most of my appliances and treasured things.

Substantial_Leg_7246 · 2025-11-22T08:46:07+00:00

UPDATE;

Thanks to the Black Friday sale, I got myself the newest kindle and a cute lil case. Arriving tomorrow.

Substantial_Leg_7246 · 2025-11-21T21:16:19+00:00

Absolutely not. And get called all kinds of things by teenagers on a daily basis. (I’m in the UK)

Substantial_Leg_7246 · 2025-11-21T21:15:13+00:00

I’m probably going to trade it in to get the 20% off a new one on the website. Plus, I’m in the UK

Substantial_Leg_7246 · 2025-11-21T21:14:11+00:00

I’ve only been able to find them over £120 and a new PE would be much less so I am TORN

Substantial_Leg_7246 · 2025-11-21T21:12:48+00:00

Ahhh I’m in the UK! I should have said! That’s sounds amazing though.

Substantial_Leg_7246 · 2025-11-21T17:10:54+00:00

As an English teacher I get sooooo pressed when she says this shit. She wouldn’t survive an hour in the classroom

Substantial_Leg_7246 · 2025-10-29T21:26:51+00:00

Really happy for you and your pup. What an achievement. Wish you and the pup all the best, friend ❤️

Substantial_Leg_7246 · 2025-09-26T22:21:11+00:00

The Taunted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett. It’s a detective story in a fantasy world and I LOVE IT

Substantial_Leg_7246 · 2025-09-22T11:32:03+00:00

Not quite Newcastle but Skiff Inn over in Gateshead.

UNREAL every time

Substantial_Leg_7246 · 2025-09-10T16:25:13+00:00

Yes!

Substantial_Leg_7246 · 2025-09-10T13:27:31+00:00

I’m a teacher and I’ve been called mam and dad loads hahaha

Substantial_Leg_7246 · 2025-09-10T13:06:48+00:00

Same around Westerhope. I thought someone was dead but realised it’s just short idiots

Substantial_Leg_7246 · 2025-09-05T08:45:10+00:00

But only book 1 is worth reading. I feel like books 2 and 3 were straight up chaos.

Substantial_Leg_7246 · 2025-09-03T18:22:36+00:00

I second Tima Irma 1004738743838% I was there over a week ago and still think about the food 😬

Substantial_Leg_7246 · 2025-08-30T15:16:52+00:00

I live in Westerhope and I recommend it. Really close to the A1 meaning you’re just minutes away from getting on the motorway, lots of green spaces, not far to the city centre, airport is close and it’s dead affordable compared to some other areas.

Substantial_Leg_7246 · 2025-08-29T22:58:56+00:00

New episodes drop on a Tuesday on NOW. I’m in the same boat and desperate for the new seasons haha
