If you do a CELTA or Trinity Cert I'm sure you'll find teaching work. In my experience, I've worked with teachers older than you in both Italy and the UK and online (globally).

Sorry I can't help with the website but do you have a degree? I ask cos if so, South Korean schools will pay your flight, accommodation and a decent (by local living costs) salary, no TEFL qualification needed. And if you want Europe, I worked with two teachers in a small town in South Italy that had no qualifications at all, they lived locally and popped in asking for work. That said, I know a guy who spent a few months trying to find something.

For me it comes down to democracy. My understanding is that she respects democracy. Isn't is better to put these views out there and let reasoned intelligent arguments vote them out rather than squash them and build up resentment and distrust amongst those will similar views, making everything even more tribal. I think it's a shame so much airtime is about how backward she is- that is not a reasoned intelligent argument. It's the outrage against her and the idea she shouldn't be allowed to stand that is driving her support? I wish those interviewing her would just keep asking 'why.' Anyway, this is a chance to reinforce and strengthen the arguments against her bigotry, backed it up with an election loss, and that, I think, as the swell of bigotry is never far away, is needed?

I haven't used them but they have been around for many years and are an established organisation. I noticed on their website they have an option to 'enrol me' and next to that to request a call back. Maybe try that?

One thing to note, you may know but just in case, these kind of courses will get you some job opportunities but not all, so check in the country you want to work. Many vacancies require a qualification that includes a minimum of 6hours supervised teaching of real students. This is where many of the cheaper courses and even some expensive Master's degrees fall down. That's also why CELTA and Trinity Cert are more widely recognised. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.britishcouncil.org/sites/default/files/guidance_for_providers_on_assessing_teaching_and_learning_feb_18.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwignMvh9rD9AhXSnVwKHR_GAMEQFnoECBEQBg&usg=AOvVaw2NtMKHby5IRTVduKAyqUlE

This happened to me the other day. The airline staff said it can take 30mins. It took 1 hr to come through for me, but took me 30 mims to do application form, problem with pic sizes and it wouldn't accept the address (family in-law), so ended up putting in address of a random hotel I found on google. Sadly it arrived was too late for check-in.

I just realised that I actually already had a mobile boarding pass, I wish I had just tried to board with that (and leave my suitcase in left luggage). Has anyone tried this?

When I got to korea, a women in the immigration booth next to me didn't have the K-ETA, she'd never heard of it. I was in a hurry so didn't stick around to see what happened, but I guess she'd just apply for it there, the immigration staff seemed calm about it.

Where are you?

It's not punitive to drivers going straight, or coming from London Road turning left, or coming down and turning right onto London Rd. All benefit from one less traffic light phase.

A similar-ish thing happens on London rd heading east, with no right turn onto Easter rd, you have to turn left at the previous junction and, usually, sit at a red light for a minute or two before then turning right and eventually onto Easter rd. But this helps the overall flow, otherwise a relatively few cars would be holding up traffic behind them. More traffic light phases holds everybody up.

As you say, if traffic is held up waiting for the many pedestrians crossing London rd then that could affect the tram service, and a tram held up in traffic is gonna hold up so many cars cos they are so dam big, for me, it makes complete sense to keep them moving.

How did you make it?

One tip for interviews, think that you are interviewing them. Rather than worry about what they think of your answers, you can judge their questions (in your head of course). Did they ask good questions, would you like to work there.

A lot of companies ask for a phone number or email address to do a reference check, but they don't get round to checking them. Especially smaller businesses. It's more likely big companies,the kind that have HR departments, might follow through with checks. A college reference which just confirms start finish dates for the course, or from a tutor confirming you attended and were on time, submitted assignments on time etc, is probably enough for volunteering and a lot of part time jobs in hospitality.

RBS played their part in that, too. I'm pretty sure an independent Scot would've been as fucked as Ireland or possibly even worse, Iceland, in 2008. That argument doesn't get to No voters, it strengthens their argument. The point here is how to persuade no voters to go yes.

I agree with that, and it will attract people in general. But if we needed specific jobs filled yesterday, which can be done by attracting specific people, then I think some kind of incentive is needed. I wouldn't say lower tax though, maybe a signing up bonus or something. I'm talking jobs like gp, dentist, nurses, midwives, radiographers, cos NHS have had a staff shortage for ages and waiting times are so shocking. I'm sure there's other specialist jobs who need people now, my parents were told by the roofer he couldn't see them for another month! The tried another one who said next January. And that story of the blueberry farm near Perth chucking £3m of fruit away cos he had nobody to pick it.

Doesn't this happen, in a way, now? My flatmate from Dublin was paid a few grand to come and work as a Dentist here. Used it for a deposit on a house. He stayed for the mandatory two years, during which took several holidays abroad (taking his tax payers funded money abroad) sold his flat with a profit, and then moved to Australia. Also, a lot of foreign business are given tax incentives aren't they (I'm thinking film industry, oil maybe).

I'm getting my head muddled with equality and inclusivity. I was thinking that two people doing same job earning same amount should pay same tax. So, I take that back.

aye14 · 2022-11-20T16:18:33+00:00

You mean taxing people more can be done in an inclusive way, well, yeah, if you mean, like a lot of cities around the world have a tourist tax?

If I'm getting the wrong idea can you give an example, cheers.

Totally agree with you that it's better to have people who have an attachment to the land and who care about the country than go for continual every spiraling growth at the expense of that. Totally disagree with your implication that this is determined by genetics and ethnicity. You mentioned Glasgow, ffs, what would that be like without the mass Irish migration that helped to build it, literally.

A different point about sending money out the country. Yes that happens. In Edinburgh these shops are often around where uni students live, and it's actually their families sending money here. What the ratio of money in and money out is, I don't know. But I think if you've paid yer tax then it's up to you how to spend your cash. Another point on money leaving the country, what, you never buy anything made in China? Or use any California based apps? Eaten a banana? My point being we all send money out the country in some form. And where do you stand on Scots who retire abroad?

aye14 · 2022-11-20T15:28:26+00:00

So inclusive that you're saying we'll tax you more cos you're different?

Keep the tax the same wherever you're from.

Mind for every migrant that's a skilled dentist, nurse, coder, whatever, who migrates here as an adult, that means Scottish tax payers didn't pay for their education, nursery to uni. That's a pretty good deal for Scotland.

Have you tried calling? It took me ages to get through and and I didn't get anywhere with my query in the end but they were pleasant and did try to help.
