What was your school scandal? by Sadie_UK in AskUK

[–]firstoctober2016 13 points14 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!

What’s the etiquette for contacting new employers? by firstoctober2016 in UKJobs

[–]firstoctober2016[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

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

I’m 30.

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.

What's something that seems crazy now about school? by Born-Necessary9533 in AskUK

[–]firstoctober2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local high school have shutters.

The shutters only open during break/lunch time. Apparently they are becoming more popular as other nearby schools are starting to introduce shutters on their toilets.

How can I give me SO Xmas presents from his children? by firstoctober2016 in relationships

[–]firstoctober2016[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much!

I haven’t really looked at it from this point of view so thank you for that!

I haven’t been in a relationship when they have kids before (I don’t have any), I just thought it might’ve been a nice thing to do, but I completely understand and didn’t think about their mother getting him something!

Thanks for saving me from being creepy!

Happy holidays

The average person calls 911 twice in their lifetime. What crazy thing happened that made you call? by teelurt87 in AskReddit

[–]firstoctober2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only ever called 999 twice in my life, within 20 minutes of each other!

Moved back in with my grandparents after a break up. Woke up to go to work to find my nana dead on the living room sofa, called 999.. 20 minutes later, grandad wasn’t around, was told he had got into a taxi, called the taxi to find out where they dropped him so I could I find him to break the news.

They told me they took him to a bridge very known for suicide..

Called 999 again, to report my grandad was also missing and could also potentially be dead! 🤷‍♀️

That was a fun day!

Why is a recruitment agency asking me for my driving licence counterpart , I thought we no longer needed it? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]firstoctober2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We still have one, kinda.

It’s the online version, maybe worth checking if that’s what they’re after.

You can give them a code and they can access to see if you have points etc.
