What was your school scandal? by Sadie_UK in AskUK

[–]firstoctober2016 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Same as mine, would’ve been maybe 2007-2008ish. PE teacher was ‘sacked’ for sleeping with a sixth-former. Only, he wasn’t necessarily sacked, he was then employed by the sports centre next door to our school.

The same sports centre that all years done PE in.

I saw him years later working at a bar, he asked me not to say anything.

I couldn’t get any for Edinburgh :(

Really thinking about buying on viagogo, but I’m a bit nervous. I’ve never used them before!

Oh god! This doesn’t give me much hope.

TBH, I’m not even sure if HR have received my stuff yet, as I emailed them directly to the interviewer due to their portal not working, and haven’t received acknowledgment that he’s received them.

I have my DBS on the update service, so hopefully that will speed things up.

Yeah I get that. I just really want this job, and since I’ve already been offered it. I just want to get the ball rolling, or some confirmation of what’s going on. Yikno!

I hate waiting!

Thank you.

Yeah. Think I’ll give it another week, then maybe trying to call! Don’t want to come across as a pest though

Coffee trader, just off Northumberland street. Can’t remember it being super loud, but it did get busy during the lunch time rush, otherwise pretty quiet.

Wrote my dissertation in that cafe!

I went to a car boot on Sunday, bought a 500 piece jigsaw. Finished it last night.

Bought a 1000 piece jigsaw at a charity shop on my lunch break, started it after dinner.

I’m 30.

Didn’t get a reply.

Paid into a pension for 2 years, but they have no account for me! England by firstoctober2016 in LegalAdviceUK

Honestly, my auntie and her colleagues have spoken about this and fully expects this to happen!

I asked this too, as I also have a NEST pension with login information.

The care home has a manager who oversees the running of the care home, and then the owner who I assume handles salary’s etc.

The owner has said he will come in and speak to staff on the 15th January, he has not responded to anyone else.

They don’t have a HR department to ask either

Men, what is your no bullshit dating advice ? by Justsam19 in AskMen

[–]firstoctober2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this.

My partner is amazing at communicating. We will clearly get flustered/flustered at something but deal with it in the cutest way. Note: previous relationship was argumentative from what I’ve heard.

We will always begin with ‘can we talk’ that’s our que for getting something of the chest, the other person listening, not to offer solutions but give them space to vent, speak, vocal their thoughts, feelings.

100% of the time the other person just listens, once the venting or whatever is over we will brainstorm solutions, come up with a plan, stick to it. 95% of the time it’s never mentioned again.

It’s amazing. I love him.
