The RAF has been ordered to pay a R4.9 million claim to teenager. In a judgement passed down in the Western Cape High Court on the 1st of August, the Road Accident Fund (RAF) has been ordered to pay a Lavender Hill teenager nearly R5 million for severe injuries he sustained in a bicycle accident about seven years ago. The case stems from an accident in which the now teenager suffered injuries to his head as an 8-year-old. Acting Judge Ajay Bhoopchand of the Western Cape High Court also had harsh words for the RAF when awarding the 16-year-old boy R4.9m, saying the boy's township education did not mean he could not have had a promising career if he had not suffered the traumatic brain injurySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With no big new releases, James Cameron-Wilson explains that the UK box office is down 36%, with Back to Black still #1. At #5 is horror film Abigail about a kidnapped ballerina. Extremely gory, it is also increasingly clichéd. James was impressed by Sometimes I Think About Dying at #19, a minimalist drama in which Daisy Ridley is a shy loner. Nuanced, it makes the audience work but is moving and sticks in the memory. Out for home viewing is 1951's A Lavender Hill Mob, with Alec Guinness a meek bank clerk with nefarious ambitions. The beautifully-restored disc is packed with fascinating extras. It is a must, says James. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

James Cameron-Wilson says that #1 Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is the sort of film that makes him sorry he became a film critic, being rushed, full of bloated CGI and an utter waste of time. He found horror film Immaculate at #3, set in an Italian convent, nasty and utterly formulaic. He and Simon celebrate the cinema re-release of Ealing comedy The Lavender Hill Mob while James urges everybody to see Anthony Hopkins in the amazing true-life tale of Nicholas Winton and the Kindertransport, One Life, now out for home viewing.

Chuck Swindoll said, "We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations." Question to ponder. What good can come from trouble, from crime, from trauma, from brokenness, from any traumatic experience? Then again so time and time we hear, what good can come from gangsterism, from places and outskirts like Kyaleshiya, Mitchell's Plain, Belhar, Athlone or Lavender Hill? Trouble neither your circumstances don't define you. Its our Actions that define the Outcome. So many are blamed, looked down at, frowned at, despite them wanting to change or not. We cannot cast a stone or walk on by thinking our lives are okay. Do you know that some well known Men and Women have fallen or succumb to trouble at their door. In the Bible Jesus chose to work with those who have fallen, been in the wrong place at the wrong time, in and out of prison for theft, shoplifting, shooting, gangsterism, drugs you name it, but because of their troubled past, they too can be transformed. So trouble can be seen as your saving Grace for God to step in and do what He wants to. For Him to show you the way, his love and walk you through the steps from strange to rearrange. From distance to closeness. From losing yourself to gaining respect for yourself with Divine help along the way. Elder Audrey Folson shares Transformed by Trouble so may this word be shared, heard and be accomplished to where its sent. May you come expectant and be Blessed by this word. In His love and Grace.

Today the Oscar Grouches continue their journey of Best Original Screenplay with "The Lavender Hill Mob"

I'd never been on a ride down a birth canal before

Kaaps is a language widely spoken in the bleak townships of Cape Town, South Africa. It's often denigrated as a lesser form of Afrikaans – the language that was used as a tool of white supremacy during the apartheid era. Spoken predominately by working class people on the Cape Flats, Kaaps is associated with negative stereotypes – its speakers denigrated as uneducated, "ghetto" layabouts involved in gang culture. But a new, burgeoning movement led by hip-hop artists, academics, writers and film makers is actively changing that perception. They want to reclaim Afrikaaps to restore the linguistic, cultural and racial dignity of a formerly disenfranchised people. The writer Lindsay Johns travels to Cape Town to meet the activists determined to assert the worth and pride of the people who speak Afrikaaps. Presenter: Lindsay Johns Producers: Audrey Brown and Tim Mansel Mixed by Neil Churchill Production coordinator: Helena Warwick-Cross Series Editor: Penny Murphy (Image: Children in Lavender Hill, a township on the Cape Flats in Cape Town, South Africa.

The Nuggets are finally world famous! Denver's hometown ballers won their first NBA Championship in franchise history, and the city has been celebrating all week. Everything culminated with a big parade downtown on Thursday, and the City Cast Denver team was there to take it all in. But of course, the Nuggets aren't all the news — it's Friday, so we're talking about a new queer cultural district, a rash of shootings on the city's streets, and question whether Trinidad has lost its shine. Diné comedian Joshua Emerson is back with producer Paul Karolyi and host Bree Davies to break down all the local stories that mattered this week. Plus, newsletter editor Peyton Garcia shares her best bets for this (hopefully sunny) summer weekend.  Bree mentioned the walking tour of Cap Hill's queer history that we did last June with local comics artist and historian B. Erin Cole.  We didn't see this until after we recorded, but past guest and local author Jenny Shank wrote a beautiful commentary on the Nuggets' win for her newsletter this week.

SPRING-HEELED JACKIt was London in October of 1837 when a young lady by the name of Mary Stevens was walking back to work in Lavender Hill where she was employed as a servant. After a visit to her parents in Battersea, she was making her way through Clapham Common, when a figure suddenly leapt out at her from a dark alley. He quickly immobilised the poor girl with a bear like hold and than began to kiss her upon her face, ripping at her clothes and touching her flesh with his sharp animal like clawed hands. Letting out a horrified scream, Mary's attacker quickly ran from the scene as several residents rushed to her aid. Mary would later described her aggressor's grip as 'cold and clammy as those of a corpse'The following day there was another sighting near Mary's home. A coachman severely injured himself as the entity that would later become known as Spring Heeled Jack, jumped out in front of him, causing him to loose control of his carriage and crash. There were several witnesses who testified to seeing the figure escape by jumping over a 9ft high wall, letting out a high-pitched, ringing cackle as he went.Resources - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring-heeled_Jackhttps://non-aliencreatures.fandom.com/wiki/Spring-Heeled_JackThanks so much for listening and we'll catch up with you again next week for some more true, scary stories.Sarah and Tobie xxJoin us on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thewhisperingwoodspodcast/Join us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/thewhispwoodsJoin us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/thewhisperingwoodspodcastVisit our Website - https://www.thewhisperingwoodspodcast.com/ Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we chew on a sweet piece of 1966 bubblegum, "Stop! Get a Ticket" by The Clefs of Lavender Hill(1:11). People say it's Beatle-esque, but we think it's better described as Hollies-esque, The handclaps (and drumbeats) will be what you remember the most, but don't sleep on the "race for your love" lyrics or you're gonna lose your baby! In 1967, Cleveland's Statesmen paid the fare and released their version of the song (36:02). It's slower and less peppy, BUT they add organ and FUZZ, as well as some va-va-voom vibrato on the vocals. That same year, Nederbeat high numbers The Groovy's heeded the train whistle and their ride kicks off a la "Last Train to Clarksville" (49:48). This one'll get the guitar gearheads feelin' groovy - a fast and fun ride with jittery rhythm guitar and lotsa hooks! Catch it!!!

For our first double guests episode we chat with the co-founders of the Marcus Graham Project. This year is their 15 Year Anniversary!

The Plot returns with a look at one of the greatest heist comedies in film history, 1951's The Lavender Hill Mob., starting Alec Guinness and Stanley Holloway. We discuss the film's plot, how a mild-mannered bank clerk masterminds a robbery of an armored car full of gold. We also give some background on the film, Ealing Studios, some of the creators behind the scenes and its filming. We also give a quick shout to the new video game Card Shark, a tale of grifting and card cheating in Pre-Revolutionary France. We hope to have some of the folks behind the game on a future episode of the Winter Palace Podcast. Thanks for listening. Be sure to listen to the other shows on the When It Was Cool Network.

In the seventh episode of Season 6 (Heists, Cons, & Grifters) Kyle is joined by editor Kristi Shimek and writer August Gummere to discuss Charles Crichton's irreverent comedy about working men conniving to get their long overdue and deserved payday for time spent in the delightful and personable The Lavender Hill Mob (1951).

Esta película vale su peso en lingotes de oro, uno de los tesoros más preciados de los británicos Estudios Ealing, donde en los años de posguerra tendrán lugar films de una elegancia, espontaneidad y ritmo difíciles de igualar. Parodia de títulos anteriores en torno a la preparación de un atraco y sus consecuencias, como La jungla de asfalto, dirigida por John Huston al otro lado del charco el año antes. Charles Crichton se toma su tiempo en mostrar la fundición del oro primero y el plomo después sobre los moldes de los pisapapeles, en encadenar secuencias inolvidables con un montaje perfecto, las pesquisas de unos policías tan caóticos como los de Keystone de Chaplin. Esos toques cómicos de slapstick, de tebeo, e incluso de dibujos animados, momentos tan de otra dimensión como el vuelo del sombrero y gabardina en el loco descenso de la Torre Eiffel, en pos de las niñas inglesas que se llevan de recuerdo algunas de sus doradas torres, o el desternillante Alec Guinness amordazado, dando saltitos para zambullirse en el sucio Támesis. Los dos socios parecen reírse del mundo durante un instante, disfrutan de una ilusión que produce vértigo. Es fácil empatizar con estos hombres solos, que viven en pensiones y leen novelas policiacas en voz alta a señoras octogenarias. La banda de la calle Lavender Hill nos cae bien, no queremos que les detengan, y quizá el inesperado giro final en el país sudamericano nos deja con una agridulce sensación, a pesar del ingenio de ese redondo guion escrito por T.E,B Clarke, ganador del Oscar. Excelentes caracterizaciones de Alec Guinness y Stanley Holloway. Holland, gris y apacible trabajador, escolta durante años el traslado de los lingotes de oro desde la refinería al banco. Su sueño es ser millonario, encontrar el método perfecto, se le encenderá la bombilla cuando encuentre en su camino a Pendlebury, un artista que no ha llegado a triunfar como merecía. La peor frase es “Lo que pudo haber sido y no fue”. La gota del metal fundido caerá de nuevo en el zapato de Holland, es una señal, sus ojos eufóricos lo dicen todo, ha encontrado el modo de hacerse rico. Ya solo faltan otros dos “profesionales” para completar la banda de Lavender Hill, nada puede salir mal, a no ser que surja algún imprevisto… R G Esta noche intentamos pasar oro de contrabando a través del Canal de las Mancha… Salvador Limón, Gervi Navío, Rosario Medina, Zacarías Cotán y Raúl Gallego

The Lavender Hill Mob stars Alec Guinness as Henry Holland, an unambitious London bank clerk — and unlikely bank robber. When he meets the eccentric artist Alfred Pendlebury (played by famous comic/character actor Stanley Holloway), the two together hatch a plot to smuggle gold bullion out of the country in the form of miniature Eiffel towers. What unfolds is a heist-comedy that stands apart as perhaps the most purely entertaining film included on the Vatican Film List. Are heist films morally problematic? Are British criminals cooler than Italian criminals? What is cockney? Thomas and James are joined by author, actor, screenwriter, and mutual friend Paul Laudiero to discuss these and other questions surrounding the film. Next on Criteria, filmmaker Nathan Douglas returns to the show to discuss Dekalog 3.

Featuring special guest and heist film aficionado Matt Clark (@TheMplsMatt)! This Ealing train keeps a-rolling with another comedy of errors! Alec Guinness (again?) is Dutch, a bean-counter who’s protected government gold for 20 years, quietly plotting ways to rip them off in a big way. His plan accelerates beyond sustainability when he meets Al, an artist-turned-tchotchke maker with dreams of pursuing his passion instead of stuffing tourists’ suitcases. What separates THE LAVENDER HILL MOB from the other films we’ve covered is its willingness to show us the solidarity shared between two (and then among four) criminals aspiring toward a better life – together – despite class objections.

This week we're chatting with - Alex Head - founder of London's go-to catering company Social Pantry. Social pantry is considered a leader in fashioning event menus with a creative edge. Head also runs 3 restaurants in London -Soane's Kitchen in Ealing, Cranes kitchen in Peckham, and Social Pantry Cafe on Lavender Hill.Alex regales us with tales from catering various events of product launches by Rihanna and the beauty company Nars as well as celebrity parties such as Gigi Hadid's slumber party. Her breakthrough moment was in her early 20s she won the Brentford football club account - and she's been growing ever since. Social pantry is not only a huge success in its own right but its social responsibility is exemplary. They insure that 10% of their staff are ex offenders. Helping those being released from prison re-acclimate to society by giving them the opportunity to work a full time job in one of her companies. I really enjoyed chatting with Alex. She's light hearted and full of amazing stories and ideas. Her story is fascinating, her entrepreneurial streak actually started as a child when she decided to make some money by selling sandwiches to her dad's colleagues at work - as a result of being expelled from school.So that's where we will begin.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/your-tables-ready.

The Black Lives Matter global movement has heightened awareness of racism over the last few years, but not more so than in recent months after the killing of George Floyd by a policeman in USA. It has heightened racial tensions with some (mostly white people) countering that "all lives matter". In this episode Lane, Minah (Beautiful Gate, Philippi) and Erica (New World Foundation, Lavender Hill) discuss this issue of Black Lives Matter. They reject the "all lives matter" notion and go further to emphasise that in Cape Town its not just Black Lives that matter but that black lives on the Cape Flats should also matter and that often, in policy, practice and attitudes they have not. 

Guest : Mark Nicholson

Thousands continue their protest against the racist killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police two weeks ago. We talk to Aleem Maqbool in Washington DC about why the demonstrations look set to continue and Peter Bowes in Los Angeles tells us how the protests are changing in nature. Elsewhere, the economist Cornelia Meyer gives her reaction to news that oil producing countries will continue to slash production and David Malpass, President of the World Bank, calls the pandemic 'a catastrophe' for the global economy. On the upside, London fashion company Lavender Hill has moved into making facemasks and business is booming. We speak to the founder Isobel Ridley.

Keenan Cerff is a comedian who is on the pursuit of happiness, whether it's providing it for others or just doing the one thing that makes him happy- stand up comedy. That pursuit seems to be working out well for Keenan as he's now travelling the country doing comedy, although he really wants to share his jokes with the world. He's opened for some of the biggest names in the game and even cracked the nod as one of the talented acts selected for Trevor Noah's second Nationwild show. Keenan is a sensitive and thoughtful cat. We get an honest perspective on life in Lavender Hill, hating your job, and pursuing your dreams at all costs. We also get into the importance of making the most out of opportunities and continuing to build momentum. If you're stuck in an office job that you hate, this might just inspire you to quit. Or it'll just help you get through the next hour of your life. Enjoy. https://almostperfect.co.za/ep-34-keenan-cerff/

Guests : https://www.beautifulnews.co.za/stories/joanie-fredericks Women have the right to choose their life’s direction. But many are denied the opportunity to pursue their ambitions. Joanie Fredericks was one of them. Growing up, her brother’s needs took priority. She gained her ticket to freedom the day she passed her driving test. . Now she’s ensuring more women are in the driver’s seat. Fredericks is an influential member of the Mitchells Plain community. In 2015, she founded NEAD Community Development. The organisation helps people become self-sufficient by providing opportunities for progress. Driving is her latest vehicle for upliftment. Last year, she formed Ladies Own Transport Services, offering driving lessons and mobility to residents in her area. From the passenger seat, Fredericks directs the way forward. Her students are able to tackle their fears and gain confidence – not just on the roads. Thanks to her, more women are on the fast track to controlling their futures. https://www.beautifulnews.co.za/stories/athrah-lakay Behind the boasts of drums, rows of straight-faced schoolchildren stand tall. This marching squad is in formation and they mean business. For Athrah Lakay, it’s a place of comfort beneath the tough veneer. In the face of uncertainty, the routine of the drill helps the 15-year-old pupil gain confidence in her next step. Marching bands are well-loved within schools in the Mitchells Plain community. It’s a celebrated tradition in the Cape Flats, commemorated in the annual Kaapse Klopse festival. At Spine Road High School, Lakay and her schoolmates assemble every week to practise. The military-like precision takes Lakay’s mind off her challenges. The unified movement has taught Lakay to put teamwork and discipline at the forefront of her actions. Lakay is only in Grade 9. But with the spirit of the squad drummed into her core, she has a bright future ahead. Coming from different backgrounds, her schoolmates can shake off life’s complexities and focus on being together when they’re at practice. https://www.beautifulnews.co.za/stories/vincent-da-silva The clay horse towers over its creator. A life-sized artwork, it embodies the natural prowess of the galloping animal. Vincent Da Silva’s sculptures are testament to his deft handiwork. Though frozen in time, the statues have a movement to them. Unlike the smooth marble figures of ancient Greece, Da Silva’s art is cast in bronze and flecked with blemishes from his tools. With his textural monuments, the artist reflects a freethinking philosophy. Throughout his time studying architecture, Da Silva sculpted, opening his first gallery before he completed his degree. When it came down to choosing between the two, there was no denying his affinity for sculpture. Today, Da Silva turns his attention to the formation of human identity through charcoal drawings and figure sculptures. https://www.beautifulnews.co.za/stories/michaylah-petersen Michaylah Petersen is never without her longboard. These wheels are her freedom. At the age of 15, Petersen was kicked out of home. Her family refused to accept that she was gay. For two days, Petersen lived on the streets. With nowhere to go, she ended up in a care home, severely depressed. It’s been a long journey to self-acceptance. In the course of getting her life on board, she’s enabling others to get back up. She first saw the impact of sport while coaching surfing at Waves for Change, a Laureus Sport for Good programme. Liberated by the adrenaline rush, Petersen realised she could take it further – with longboarding. Now, Petersen teaches girls in Lavender Hill how to carve, giving them the opportunity to move forward and express themselves. https://www.beautifulnews.co.za/stories/aneesah-seale Aneesah Seale greets daybreak with a swirl of chocolate sauce. She’s just opened the first coffee shop in Bonteheuwel, right from her own home. Her endeavour is notable in a neighbourhood where daily shootings leave people in fear of stepping out of their houses. . In the midst of terror and desolation, her café is a sweet refuge. From the tender age of nine, Seale has been acquainted with the warmth a kitchen can bring. Her father was a bakery manager and it was with his encouragement that her dreams began to rise. She’s been baking for more than two decades now. Last year, Seale launched a confectionery business from home. But the idea of seeing her neighbours find comfort over a strong roast kept brewing in her heart. Today, That Coffee Shop pours countless cups of care. Fresh flowers grace the tables in Seale’s shabby chic front yard, and every guest is welcomed in with a smile. Beyond its reputation, Bonteheuwel is now the home of extraordinary goodness.

Growing a catering business into a six site operation, employing ex-offenders and going with your gut with Alex, founder of Social Pantry. For this episode, we sat down with Alex of Social Pantry to hear the hugely inspiring story of how she has grown her catering business into a company which now manages up to thirty events per week, has a café, kiosk, restaurant and event space. We talked about maximising what you have until your demand allows for growth, working dynamically to meet the differing requirements of contracts - from weddings to corporate lunches – and what you learn from doing everything yourself at the beginning. We also discussed Alex's employment of ex-offenders, who make up at least 10% of her work force at any time. It was incredibly inspiring to hear about the realities of this and to understand how important it is for businesses to recruit from prisons. Alex's attitude to her team in general is really admirable and an example of how to grow a team who will not only work hard but enjoy and excel in their roles. Find Social Pantry @social_pantry on Instagram or visit their website at www.socialpantry.co.uk. Social Pantry café is at 170a Lavender Hill, London. Soane's Kitchen, Pitzhanger Manor and the kiosk are all in Walpole Park, Ealing, London. Find us @whatscookingpodcast on Instagram and @whatscookingpod on Twitter.

Join us on June 17th at 7pm central time as we speak with Philipp Kessler. Philipp Kessler is a man of many hats.  An accomplished High Priest in the Covenant of Kernunnos Tradition, Phil has been an active practitioner for 25 years and has followed his passion for knowledge by climbing the ivory tower of the written word, from some of the oldest available works to modern, in the moment writings.   This desire for knowledge has led him to change his hat to pursue another passion, which is broadcasting.  He has been co-host of the longest-running pagan radio show, Murphy’s Magic Mess, for 8 and a half years and has been co-host of Pagan Musings on Blog Talk Radio for 8 years and Pagan Weekly News, also available on Blog Talk Radio, for 5 years and co-host of Lavender Hill, a weekly LGBTQIA news show on KZUM public radio for 6 years.    Phil changes his hat again and is an editor and the founder of Saturn Returns Publishing. He turns around again, changing his hat as he does, and he is an author of pagan fiction & poetry, with many stories in different genres (from horror to speculative historical fiction) in the works. His first title in the Dark of the Moon, New Beginnings series, Backfire, came out on April 1, 2017, quickly followed by volume two in that series, Waterfall, on May 1. He’s slowing down just a bit and expects to have book three in the series, Landslide, out sometime early July 2017. But most of all, he wears the hat of butler to his 3 feline rulers, tending to their every need with utmost devotion. Look forward to much more coming from this energetic and thoughtful author...he will be producing marvelous works as long as the hats hold out...and the cats let him!

Mummies Aren't Daddies This week on the show we learn about the birds and bees of Monster Movies. In off the Shelf, we looked at Third Window's Uzumasa Limelight, Classic Ealing comedy the Lavender Hill Mob and Godard's Band of Outsiders. We also have a ringer. Our film of the week was Jay Roach's Trumbo.

Sir Alec Guinness had already proven both his comedic and dramatic prowess by the time he came to Ealing Studios’ “The Lavender Hill Mob” in 1951, a point in his career when he was making two films a year. He’d continue working in both comedy and drama throughout his career, but we’re lucky to still be talking about his comedies because “The Lavender Hill Mob” is an absolute delight. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we continue our Sir Alec Guinness series with a conversation about his seventh film, directed by Charles Crichton. We talk about the comedy in this film and why it still works so well six and a half decades later. We chat about Crichton and his wonderful directing, and compare this film with his last film, 1988’s “A Fish Called Wanda,” which he directed and co-wrote. We discuss Guinness and the other actors making up the titular mob — Stanley Holloway, Sidney James and Alfie Bass — and look at what they each brought to the table. We chat about our favorite moments of the film and why, even with its problems, it’s still an utterly enjoyable caper film. And we point out several familiar faces that you may miss scattered throughout the film — see if you can catch them! It’s an absolute delight of a crime caper film, one which we have a great time talking about. Tune in! Hey! You know what would be awesome? If you would drop us a positive rating on iTunes! If you like what we’re doing here on TNR, it really is the best way to make sure that this show appears when others search for it, plus, it’s just a nice thing to do. Thanks!!

Armoede, verdrukking en oorbevolking. Dis die kenmerke van die lewe op die Kaapse Vlakte die afgelope paar dekades. Ná 1994 het die dwelmbedryf buite beheer geraak en 'n kontantinspuiting gebied aan bendes in beheer van dié bedryf. Dit het dit net makliker gemaak vir bendes om wapens in die hande te kry en nog moeiliker vir die polisie om gesag af te dwing. Inwoners leef in konstante vrees weens bendegevegte. Vanessa Poonah het die strate van een van Kaapstad se mees berugte bendegebiede, met die ironiese naam Lavender Hill, ingevaar en dié verslag saamgestel.
