While Scotland is extremely famous for being the home of the Loch Ness Monster there is a much more terrifying cryptid native to its waterways — the Kelpie. Kelpies are an extremely ancient cryptid, a shape-shifting horse that drags its victims into the water to their death. Though some write the Kelpie off as a myth, there are modern stories that raise questions… it turns out the story of the Kelpie may be hiding a darker story about life in Scotland hundred of years ago… and we're not talking about a time before Greggs bakery.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. Our Covid response: 5/10 In totality it looks like a thing you do to score some points against the other guys, with no real sense there is any accountability and no real assurance it won't be the same next time. Parental leave: 5/10 Political misstep of the week. Took a decent idea, then turned it into an inter-coalition bitch slap. Gregg's: 3/10 First the peaches, then the coffee. What's next? Jaffas? Oh, wait. The new tariffs: 2/10 Between them, the courts, and the war, the Trump presidency, if not already in flames, looks increasingly combustible. Zoe Hobbs: 7/10 My pick of the success stories from Glasgow. Seemed overwhelmed, grateful, and pleased she could prove the doubters wrong.

RHLSTP #620 - Greggs Chicken Bake - Rich is doing a few remote podcasts again due to a medical condition, so tonight we're going to party like it's 2020. He is chatting to character comedian and writer Rosalie Minnitt who is about to do her second hour about her Fringe breakout success Clementine. They chat about how she Peter Kayed her student play, her itinerant childhood, the genesis of her crazy Jane Austen influenced stage persona and how it sometimes surprises here with how far it goes, how men brought up to play stooges all think Rosalie might genuinely be into them and what happened when she actually went on a date with one of them, working with Alan Partridge and the difficulty of finding new subjects for Horrible Histories.Tickets for Rosalie's Edinburgh show here https://www.pleasance.co.uk/event/rosalie-minnitt-clementine-2Tickets for RHLSTP at the Ed Fringe here http://richardherring.com/rhlstpSUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPEAudio mix by Ben Evans (NTO)Thanks to Chris Evans (NTO) and Ben Walker Hosted on Acast.

Laura takes another road trip - this time literally - to Brighton, to look at an infamous cycle route alongside a dual carriageway.Laura's guide, Chris Todd, formerly of campaigning organisation, Transport Action Network, wants improvements to a dangerous four-mile stretch of shared use pavement along the A27 in East Sussex.While a hardy few use the path, which is part of National Cycle Network route 90, it's a gap in an otherwise safe network connecting Brighton and its universities with the South Downs National Park, and nearby villages.The road is owned by the trunk roads body, National Highways, and Todd feels they aren't doing enough to protect path users. National Highways recently resurfaced the path where it crosses a slip road, where a new Greggs bakery is being built. Todd says to protect workers on the path, one lane of the road was closed, the speed limit was reduced, and a metal barrier installed, and yet path users get no protection at all - just a narrow strip of grass. National Highways says safety is its top priority and points to its work on a different part of the A27, where they built an excellent 10km route to the east of Lewes, set back from the road. However, the terrifying section remains.National Highways added they continue to work closely with partners including Sussex Police to monitor safety on the route. There is £27bn for the current five year Road Investment Strategy, £55m for active travel. The Walk Wheel Cycle Trust says there are no plans to upgrade this route.Links: Cyclists urge upgrades to 'dangerous' A27 cycle path: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c142ygpj3ryoLaura's Substack post on the A27 route: https://open.substack.com/pub/lauralaker/p/your-life-in-their-hands-on-the-otherFor ad-free listening, behind-the-scenes and bonus content and to help support the podcast - head to (https://www.patreon.com/StreetsAheadPodcast).

Prisons Minister James Timpson, Lord Timpson, speaks to Lord Forysth of Drumlean about fostering, business leadership and prison reform in the latest episode of Lord Speaker's Corner. In this episode‘We all had a responsibility to help these other people.' Lord Timpson reflects on a life shaped by an unconventional childhood, where his mother fostered almost 100 children over the years. He shares that ‘we were the youngest kids at school to know all the swear words' but that his mother's passion for challenging the system inspired his drive to make change happen.‘The bigger percentage of the workforce at Timpson that were ex-offenders correlates to the increased profit performance of the business.'Lord Timpson was the CEO of the Timpson Group for 22 years where he pioneered employing ex-prisoners, a practice now used by companies including Greggs, Tesco and Amazon. Drawing on his experience, he explains why employing ex-offenders can deliver both social impact and commercial success, plus why rehabilitation must sit at the heart of the justice system. He also reveals the challenges of the change from commercial CEO to government, and what he has taken from business into his work with civil servants.‘Too many people leave prison and go back again.'Lord Timpson also reflects on the complex current issues in the prison system, from reoffending to mental health and drug addiction, arguing for an approach rooted in rehabilitation as well as fewer women in prison. He also questions the high turnover of prisons ministers, with 25 postholders since 1990.See more from the series https://www.parliament.uk/business/lords/house-of-lords-podcast/ Hosted on Acast.

In an AI age, being visible ain't an option... unless you wanna end up broke working in Greggs.If you want paying clients, you have to build trust, which means showing up, showing your face and talking on camera.Now whilst that might send shivers down your spine, you are forgiven for having this fear.Your dislike of videos or any sort of public speaking for that matter isn't your fault. Society's done a real number on you.You've been charged a "don't-be-too-much" tax your whole life. School, magazines, parents, society... all drip-feeding the same message: shrink, stay quiet, don't show off. No wonder showing up on camera feels terrifying. It's not weakness. It's decades of conditioning. And once you see it for what it is, you can start undoing it.In this episode, I'm joined by brand photographer and visibility strategist Abi Moore, and we are getting into it. We're talking about why so many brilliant women are hiding online, why selling feels icky when it really doesn't have to, and why the thing standing between you and your next client probably isn't your skills... it's your silence.Here's what we cover:

I episode 135 får vi igjen besøk av porteføljeforvalter Ole André Hagen fra FIRST Fondene. Ole André forvalter FIRST Impact og FIRST Global Focus. Med over 20 års erfaring fra kapitalmarkedet har han en solid bakgrunn med ekspertise innen teknologi, olje og gass. Han har tidligere hatt roller hos ABG Sundal Collier, Oslo Asset Management, Fondsfinans og Explora Capital. I denne episoden kjører vi en skikkelig Mythbusting-runde der vi tar for oss de mest utbredte argumentene for AI-boomen. Deretter går vi dypere inn i capex, produktivitet, private verdsettelser, Magnificent 7 og hvor man eventuelt finner verdi utenfor hypen. Ole André deler også sine tanker om hva som kan skje hvis AI-boomen viser seg å være mer boble enn boom – og gir ett konkret råd til lytterne. Noen av mytene: «Denne gangen er det annerledes fordi selskapene tjener penger.» – Hvorfor er dette en farlig myte?«AI er som internett i 1995.» – Hvorfor holder ikke denne sammenligningen?«Magnificent 7 er uovervinnelige.» – Hvilken historisk myte minner dette om?«Produktiviteten kommer snart.» – Hvorfor er dette en klassisk boble-myte?«Dark fiber-risiko»: Ser vi det samme med dagens AI-infrastruktur og datasentre? Ole Andre kommer etterhvert inn på hvilke selskaper han ser verdi i dagens marked. Ole Andre argumenterer sterkt for verdi i de syv største selskapene i Kina som inkludert Tencent, Alibaba, PDD, Meituan, osv. Han trakk spesielt frem JD.COM hvor han har et oppdatert syn på verdsettelsen og utsiktene. Av andre interessante case kom vi inn på healthcare i USA med United Health, Molina og HCA Healthcare, og en tur innom Greggs i Storbritannia. Mange interessante case som man kan se nærmere på. Sammenligningene til Dotcom er på noen områder like. Man ser at OpenAI, Anthropic og SpaceX prises ekstremt høyt til tross for store tap. Hvis vi nå er i en DOT.AI - boble; vi spør Ole André hvordan man kan utdanne seg om hvordan det kan se ut og hva man bør gjøre. Ole Andrés heteste tips er å lese journalisten Edward Chancellor sin bok basert på investerings essays laget av Marathon Asset Management i perioden 1993-2002. Boktittel: Capital Account: A Money Manager's Reports on a Turbulent Decade, 1993–2002.Ønsker du å høre mer fra Ole André Hagen, finner du han her:X: https://x.com/OleAndreHagen FIRST Impact: https://firstfondene.no/fond/first-impact/ FIRST Global Focus: https://firstfondene.no/fond/first-global-focus/ FIRST-Podden: https://open.spotify.com/show/6F2jjF4T9y8sczF9uIHkQV Episoden er spilt inn for informasjons- og underholdningsformål, og innholdet i episoden skal ikke anses som en investeringsanbefaling.

Even though Eddie and Gary are on the rebuild, they're still somehow busier than a Greggs on match day. Gary's had a short stay in the comparison trap, but a chance encounter with a real‑life hero gave him the reality check he needed.Both hosts also find themselves openly thirsting over an A‑list movie star. Zero shame from both. We also sing the praises of the humble home gym. We're not talking squat racks. We mean the trusty dumbbell, a couple of resistance bands, and a yoga mat.And to round things off, the coaches chat about the simple brilliance of taking a map out on the trails. Old‑school.

Greetings and welcomeHope all is well out there.This week is chapter 5 of Way of the Kip. Chapter belowI was away last week so no podcast. My latest rap EP - More 64s of Boredom is out for stream / download pretty much everywhere. Links belowHave a great weekendPaulBANDCAMPSPOTIFTYAPPLEhttps://music.apple.com/gb/album/more-64s-of-boreddom-ep/6772325154QOBUZhttps://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/more-64s-of-boreddom-paul-cree/db5vajegkhjwmAMAZONhttps://music.amazon.co.uk/albums/B0H2NL275KYOUTUBECHAPTER 5 – Way of the KipNo matter how mellow the alarm sound I selected, it's like the blower had grown go-go-gadget arms during the night; and with every polyphonic note the phone made, it jabbed at my eardrums with brass knuckles.Made a blind grab for the phone, grappling for the off-button; dropping the thing on the floor. Quick inhale then swung my legs out the side of the bed, felt the cold on my shins. Slowly sat up, half opened my eyes and stared at my old red football shorts; covering my thighs. The M was missing from the name. U BRO. Another breath then acknowledged the waking pain of the day. Routine, but this one hit harder. The feeling that I'd only just got to sleep five minutes before was normal; this time it came gift-wrapped with something extra that I couldn't yet identify.The thread had come loose along the right side of my shorts and the red colour had long since faded; reminding me when my first goldfish (Mgoldrik) slowly stopped being gold and faded out like a photograph, till he got the final flush to the hallowed burial grounds of the New Town sewage treatment.I'd had those shorts for a good ten years. Well, ten years, don't know if it was all that good. Ten years back was probably the last time I had a kick-about. I reckoned I could still thread a pass, tho.The phone bleeted again. Picked it up and switched it off. Next to the blower was the tissue. Of course. I heard a chuckle over my left shoulder; my neck slowly turned towards it.October's Frank Lampard was grinning, while making a hand gesture, mimicking the one I would've made probably about three hours before. Underneath him sat that sedate sandalwood candle. Sandalwood, the scent of failure.‘You mug. You think it's that easy? Pull the other one, son.'And there it was. The bow on the present. Frank was right. I'd convinced myself just one simple purchase from Tesco was going to solve all my sleep problems. Mug. Why was it always like this anytime I tried to do something to improve my life?I'd hit sombre season; just didn't see it coming, I should've. The life-cycle of idea, obsession, rushed execution, disappointment, embarrassment, guilt and finally numbness was complete. It was ever thus. Perfected this little routine sometime back in school. A sigh this time. I slowly stood up, closed my eyes, breathed again, opened my eyes; then cracked on to the bathroom.The walk to Streatham Hill station was slow. I tried to rationalise the whole candle caper; it's not like I'd done something super-shameful, yet I felt similar to how I would, had I downed six post-work pints on an empty tummy, said some stupid stuff about society then spewed on the train back and woke up in West Norwood. Like the week before. So why was I feeling so low?Despite the multiple signs and announcements about no bikes in rush-hour, some plank wearing a tool-belt was trying to get on the train with a mountain-bike and arguing with a couple of commuters. It was a packed-platform and the 7:15 was already rammed when it rolled in. I don't think the geezer was English. Probably Polish but then what did I know; I was probably just a bigot, lacking sleep.Bike-man gave up eventually and reluctantly battled his way to the back of the platform, muttering some harsh syllables in a language I didn't understand. A few commuters grumbled then chins went back to sternums, eyes to papers, ears to headphones and no more was said.Standing room only on the train. I was shunted down to that no-mans land between two seat-backs with nothing to hold onto; just the sandwich of two bods to wobble between. Couldn't even get my ipod out. Probably a good thing, I would've almost certainly drawn for the tear-jerkers.Once I'd fallen out the train at Victoria and swiped my ticket; I liven-ed up a bit on the bop down Victoria Street. My mind was preparing potential small-talk scenarios about what I did last night. Needed to deflect any genuine curiosity beyond the basics. Nothing much; just a bit of Sky Sports News; what did you do? That was the best I could come up with.Did the regular eyes-right to Westminster Cathedral and thought of Nan taking me and my sister in there when we were nippers. Much to her disappointment, we'd slipped to the lowest tier of membership in the Catholic club. First Easter got dropped, then even Christmas, now it was attend-mass-only-by-invite; weddings and funerals. The basic package. Still, I always acknowledged its presence on the daily graft-march to purgatory. I liked that it was there. It quietly maintained its magnificence on a suffocatingly dull street full of civil-serving concrete office blocks.Up ahead I saw Pete going through the glass doors into the office, clutching a copy of the Sun and a Greggs paper bag; most likely containing two steak-bakes. From distance, I could tell he was whistling a tune.Quick breath, through the doors then fist-bumped Sammy on security then straight into the lift. Thankfully no one from my floor was in there. Doors open and into the open-plan, strip-lit-sweat-pit. Quick breath then ran the gauntlet, arrowing straight to my desk hoping not to catch any eyes of conversation.‘How was your sleep Reece, did you have sweet dreams?'Shaz caught me off guard. Almost stopped. Out of some politeness, I turned my torso; it hurt.‘Erm, yea, it was alright, you?'‘You know she's taken don't you?'‘Who's taken?'‘Bianca'‘Eh?'When she said Bianca, she lifted the A and N then pushed down on the C and the A, kissed her teeth and turned back to her desk and her bowl of muesli. It was a shame Shaz was fit because I really disliked her. Clearly the feeling was mutual; certainly, on the dis-liking. She also had a boyfriend, Trey, who looked like he could handle himself, like Dan. Hero.The last thing I needed now was an office-rumour about me fancying Bianca. Like Shaz, she was also quite attractive just less acerbic and a lot more dim. Why was she telling Shaz about my sleep problems? That was a liberty.Managed to get through the morning mostly without incident. Priah came and inspected my screen once or twice; but despite being sleep-deprived I was managing to hold my focus and processed a bunch of claims.About 11 o clock, Priah sent an email round saying Monique from Essential Skills was coming in for part two of the bias training. I raised an eyebrow at this, as I wasn't aware there was a part 2 and I was beginning to question wether this was an Essential Skill. I was about to compose a witty response to Diane, making sure it wasn't to Priah this time but then clocked my name wasn't on the list of attendees. Pete wasn't on there either. I'd must've missed the bit where it said Ladies Night? What the flip was this? A day at the races? Either that or some oiled-up alpha was coming in dressed as a fireman to swing it about, while they all screamed and giggled. Maybe it was Dan and Trey. I could only conclude that birds had more bias to flush out than geezers, and if Shaz's snidey little remark was anything to go by, my theory was correct.Came back from lunch and Saw Monique from Essential Skills in the meeting room, setting up the power point. Once the Spice Girls had filed into the glass menagerie I took it as an opportunity and go make a cup of tea.Pete came into the kitchen, whistling. He had another greasy bag from Greggs containing two sausage rolls.‘Surprised you're not in there, mate.' He said.‘What, girls-club?'‘Girls and gays, ‘aint figured which you one you are yet, son'‘Gay? Who's gay in there?‘Pretty sure I saw Keith go in just now.'‘Boring Keith's in the training?!'Sure enough, I stuck my head out, looked across the office floor and in amongst the well-maintained ladies barnets was Boring Keith, with his little glasses, big belly and tiny mouth; holding his pen, tiny little grin on his boat.‘I didn't know Kieth was gay? I didn't think he was capable of human relationships.'‘What's the problem, Reecy? You enquiring?' He chuckled at this, while he got a plate out of the cupboard.‘Couldn't care less if he's gay. He's still a geezer but he's in there and we aint.'‘Dunno why you're getting stroppy about it Reecey-Boy. You think too much, that's your problem.'‘Yea maybe, just think it's a bit of a double standard.'‘Moan about it all you like, mate. I'm taking advantage. Got an appointment in trap-2, gonna take my time on this one; had a big ruby last night. Then, I'm gonna sit and do my fantasy team and knock off early. I cleared a load of work this morning so when Priah gets out, I'll go here look, I was banging-out claims left, right and centre while you lot was in there. That's how you play it, son.'Off he went, whistling again, clutching his Gregs bag and a plate, then stopped and turned back round.‘Oh yea. Friday afters. The George. Be there. Don't be gay.'And off he went again. I envied him; I don't think he was phased by anything. I looked back across to the glass-menagerie. Monique was pointing at a slide, looking very solemn, though I couldn't tell who was sat where, I could see all eyes were on the screen. It was pure Girl Power. And Kieth. This is a public episode.

But they're here to talk about it nonetheless. Are things finally looking up for Greggs shares?

Welcome to a brand new episode of the Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast!This week Gemma Arterton and Rafe Spall pop in to chat about their new ITV drama Secret Service, where Gemma plays a spy and Rafe doesn't.

As organisations grow, data teams face a familiar challenge - staying focused on what matters while supporting an increasingly complex operation.   In this episode of Hub & Spoken, Jason Foster, CEO & Founder of Cynozure, is joined by Rob Kent, Head of Data and AI at Greggs, to explore what pragmatic data leadership looks like in practice.

Rob also offers a candid perspective on measuring impact, explaining why not every initiative can be tied to direct ROI and why some data capability is simply the cost of doing business well.   This episode focuses on clarity over complexity, execution over theory and using data to help people make better decisions every day.   Cynozure is a leading data, analytics and AI company that helps organisations to reach their data potential. It works with clients on data and AI strategy, data management, data architecture and engineering, analytics and AI, data culture and literacy, and data leadership.

Newcastle upon Tyne is famous for many things: its bridges, nightlife, and being the birthplace of Greggs are just some of them. We've seen plenty of world firsts here, been on the frontline of science and technology, witnessed ethical consumption in the 18th century, and turned a Roman settlement into a city. But our disasters are perhaps less well-known. Newcastle has suffered from plague, fire, flood, and cholera - among other things. Why don't we hear about these as often, if at all? Let's explore the Great Plague of 1636, the Great Flood of 1771, and the Great Fire of 1854 to see what they can tell us about the city we can encounter here in the 2020s in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore.

Why do so many workplaces run on bullshit processes and procedures?  And how might Behavioural Science help resolve them?Episode SummaryIn this episode, I sit down with author, speaker and advisor James Healy to explore his book BS at Work — and the everyday nonsense we all recognise inside organisations.James argues that while behavioural science has transformed public policy and consumer behaviour, workplaces have lagged behind. We dig into why leaders keep choosing rituals over results, why nobody seems to ask “does this actually work?”, and how our search for simple answers can make complex systems worse.I ask James to unpack some of his favourite stories, including the strange origins of the DISC personality test — created by Wonder Woman's inventor, complete with “dominance” and “submission” baked in — and the utterly self-parodying experience he had with e-learning about not cheating on e-learning.
