Podcasts about Wishaw

Join me for My Chat with Derek Mather in The Laddie Snug at Artisan. On a recent pilgrimage to the magical whisky island of Islay, off the coast of Scotland with a couple of good buddies, we made an overnight detour to the small town of Wishaw, midway between Edinburgh and Glasgow, to the famous Artisan restaurant. Head chef, owner, curator and co-founder of the Friends of Bruichladdich FaceBook group, Derek Mather, founded this whisky mecca 16 yrs ago..... and the grub ain't half bad either..... Derek and his wife Fiona have amassed 1000's of bottles of Independently bottled Scotch whisky, all open and for sale by the dram at their Artisan Restaurant. Derek doesn't believe in full bottles and prices each dram with a marginal mark-up, so that whisky lovers can visit and afford to drink some of the most fantastic whisky bottles they will ever have the pleasure of sampling. We sat in his Laddie Snug and had a great chat about what he's been up to. It was an absolute pleasure.

The Public Audit Committee have published their report on Adult Mental Health in Scotland.  The Committee heard compelling evidence that the demand for mental health care is continuing to rise, with the Covid-19 pandemic and cost-of-living crisis compounding the issues faced by an adult mental health system already under significant strain.  In this podcast, Convener Richard Leonard MSP travelled to Chris's House, a suicidal crisis centre in Wishaw, to discuss the report's findings with Anne Rowan, founder of Chris's House, and Dr Pavan Srireddy, Vice Chair, Royal College of Psychiatrists in Scotland. Together they discussed issues including the increasing demand for services, pressures on staff, how outcomes are measured and what needs to happen next to ensure people receive the help they need.

In this episode, I interview Stephen Gallagher, a commercial property investor, who shares insights into his background in aerospace engineering and financial services, as well as his journey into property investment. He discusses his investment model with SSAS and details a successful project in Wishaw near Glasgow, where he transformed a CMO (Commercial Multiple Occupancy) property into a thriving serviced office space. Stephen elaborates on the financial aspects, including valuation, rental income, and the SSAS syndication strategy used for funding. He also touches on some future projects involving boutique apartments and aparthotels. KEY TAKEAWAYS Stephen's investment strategy with SSAS is the prime example of how to get good returns within a pension scheme. Stephen emphasises the importance of collaborating with others in the industry, sharing knowledge, and building relationships with professionals and investors. Starting with smaller projects, like the one in Hamilton, can build confidence and provide a stepping stone for larger commercial property investments. Utilising professional services like quantity surveyors and other experts can help in navigating construction costs, planning permissions, and other challenges in property development.

"This second podcast that we've recorded, I'll be divulging you with a detailed account of the time I got kicked out of T in the Park when we were supposed to be headlining the BBC stage. It started to go wrong when I got on a bus called 'The 5-skin express'. For loads of people that went to the festival especially if you come from Wishaw, you might find you resonate with the sacred pilgrimage to Balado. There was a lot of different Chinese whispers about what happened that weekend but this comes from the horses mouth. And then once the story is over, I will again dissect this horrendous debacle alongside my business partners with spirit and good humour" - Jamie KeenanSupport the podcast - www.patreon.com/thelafontaines Hosted on Acast.

Was für eine Woche, was für Matches, was für ein Finale und was für ein Sieger! Neil Robertson gewinnt die Tour Championship 2022 und krönt damit eine bemerkenswert gute Woche, in denen er sowohl gegen Ronnie O'Sullivan im Halbfinale als auch gegen John Higgins im Finale mit dem Rücken zur Wand stand und trotzdem beide Matches gewinnen konnte. Christian Oehmicke und Andreas Thies fassen ein beeindruckendes Finalwochenende zusammen. John Higgins hatte im Finale alles im Griff. Früh hatte er in der ersten Session die Führung übernommen und spielte sein sicheres, attraktives, fehlerarmes Snooker. Hatte er eine Chance am Tisch, ließ er die nicht liegen. 5-3 führte der "Wizard of Wishaw" nach der ersten Session und auch zum Start der zweiten Session sah alles danach aus, als könne das Finale das spannungsärmste Match der Woche in Llandudno werden. Doch dann kam Neil Robertson und eine Aufholjagd, die wir so lange nicht mehr gesehen haben. Von 4-9 kommend gewann Robertson die letzten sechs Frames und gewann das Match am Ende noch mit 10-9. In einem Finale über so eine lange Distanz eine fast einmalige Aufholjagd. Auch im Halbfinale hatte Robertson in einem packenden Match schon mit 8-9 gegen Ronnie O'Sullivan zurückgelegen und am Ende noch im Entscheidungsframe gewonnen. Robertson fährt zur WM mit einer gehörigen Portion Selbstvertrauen. Am Ende sprechen Christian und Andreas noch über Liang Wenbo, der am Wochenende verurteilt worden war, weil er in Sheffield eine Frau geschlagen und getreten hatte.

To most folks he's known as Spud - and this week Mark Daly tells us why managing Wishaw became a bit of a hot potato. Mark quit the Beltane club in December after initially saying he wanted to leave six weeks earlier. He joins us on the show to lift the lid on why he fell out of love with the job and why he's not ready to return yet. Just like Mark, Paul has been on the move too, leaving Newmains United while we've been away. He tells us the real reasons why he's no longer at Victoria Park and why he is ready for a return to the dugout in the future.

Tag 2 beim Masters im Alexandra Palace ist beendet und wir kennen die nächsten beiden Viertelfinalisten. Barry Hawkins und John Higgins. Hawkins profitierte dabei von der Formschwäche seines Gegners, Higgins spielte seine ganze Erfahrung aus. John Higgins musste am Nachmittag gegen den Ally-Pally-Debütanten Zhao Xintong an den Tisch. Der hatte sich ja durch seinen Turniersieg bei der UK Championship in die Top 16 der Weltrangliste vorgespielt. John Higgins nahm diese Aufgabe entsprechend ernst und startete direkt mit einem Century Break. Als Xintong dieses ebenso mit einem Century Break konterte, dachten die Zuschauenden noch, dass das eine hochklassige und spannende Veranstaltung geben könnte. Doch darauf setzte Higgins seinen Fuß und gewann die nächsten drei Frames und damit den entscheidenden Vorsprung. Am Ende stand ein 6-2 für den "Wizard of Wishaw". Barry Hawkins musste abends nicht viel machen, um Shaun Murphy in Schach zu halten. Murphy konnte zwar bis zum Midsession Interval das Match ausgeglichen halten, doch nach dem Interval zog Hawkins weg. Kathi Hartinger und Andreas Thies sprechen über die beiden Matches, schauen aber auch auf heute und den ersten Auftritt von Ronnie O'Sullivan.

Judd Trump hat das Champion of Champions gewonnen. In Bolton setzte er sich im Finale gegen John Higgins nach einem 0-3 Rückstand noch mit 10-4 durch. Eine klare Leistungssteigerung nach dem Midsession Interval war dafür verantwortlich, dass am Ende Trump triumphierte. Anfangs war von der Müdigkeit von John Higgins noch gar nichts zu sehen. Sein Halbfinale gegen Yan Bingtao hatte 5 Stunden gedauert, dementsprechend müde musste er sich doch gefühlt haben. Das war aber noch nicht zu spüren. Die ersten 3 Frames gingen allesamt an den "Wizard of Wishaw". Doch dann wendete sich das Blatt. Die nächsten fünf Frames entschied Judd Trump alle für sich. Nachdem Higgins sich den letzten Frame sicherte, hatte man die Hoffnung, dass dies eine spannende Abendsession werden könnte. Doch daraus wurde letztlich nichts. Abends sah man dann die fehlende Frische bei Higgins, dem der ein oder andere Fehler unterlief, der ihm sonst vielleicht nicht passieren würde. Trump gewann alle fünf Frames der Abendsession und gewann mit 10-4. Die Spieler:innen bereiten sich jetzt auf die UK Championships vor, die am Dienstag beginnen werden. Andreas Thies und Christian Oehmicke sprechen über alles, was an diesem Montag Snooker-wichtig ist.

It was a tremendous privilege to pick Mark Humphrey's brain who has insight about broad domains of the brain like few others. His new book The Spike: An Epic Journey Through the Brain in 2.1 Seconds takes us on a journey through the brain starting at the retina and ending in the spinal cord. As we follow spikes along, we learn how information is processed in the brain, but also how it's simply lost and forgotten. Mark has done his PhD with Kevin Gurney, who together with Tony Prescott and Peter Redgrave has published an influential computational model of the basal ganglia in 2001. We disentangle how it differs from the Albin-DeLong model, talk about implications for whole-brain computational models and the mechanism of action of DBS. Based on a twitter thread that Mark once published about the Wishaw decorticate rat experiments, I ask him: Does the brain even need the cortex? Finally, we touch about compression of data and his recent paper about a weak and strong principle of dimensionality reduction of the brain.

This week on the Derailed podcast, Morgan sits down to chat with Social Track co-founder, Dan Scott. Dan was instrumental in the development of the Wishaw pump track - a project that has had a profoundly positive impact on the local community. In this episode, Dan talks about how Social Track and the Wishaw pump track came about, what difference it has made to the area, the importance of community ownership in such a project as well as some of the challenges in obtaining funding for a non profit like social track and the salaries required to keep it alive.

A 26-year-old man has admitted a brutal attack on two police officers using a meat cleaver. In June last year, David Dowson attempted to murder one officer and endangered the life of another in the incident in Wishaw, North Lanarkshire. Dowson sliced off the tip of one of his victims' thumb, and both officers suffered severe injuries. In Glasgow, the High Court heard PCs Josh McCorry and Glenn Coletta were "terrified and feared for their lives". This episode is also available as a blog post: https://emergency-services.news/male-admits-attempted-murder-after-random-meat-cleaver-attack-on-two-police-officers/

Covid 19 is a real disease that has sadly caused fatalities. But some people are profiting richly from it – in fact, it has become something of a gold mine, with compromised scientists, offshore firms, banking executives and big tech firms jostling to win their slice of the corona pie. In an effort to protect these juicy financial profits, an edifice of establishment science has been constructed, and any scientist who dares to entertain an opinion that runs contrary to this edifice risks losing their reputation and livelihood. Maybe this is why mainstream science seems – in my opinion – increasingly arrogant. In my opinion, this is not establishment science's finest hour.

John Higgins hat die Players Championship in der Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes nicht nur gewonnen. Nein, er hat das Turnier dominiert. In einer Art und Weise, wie wir das beim Snooker in den Jahren seit der Hochphase von Stephen Hendry nur noch selten gesehen haben. Auch im Finale ließ Higgins seinem Konkurrenten aus der "Class of 92" beim 10-3 keine Chance. Andreas Thies und Christian Oehmicke versuchen ansatzweise, dieser Leistung gerecht zu werden und sie angemessen einzuordnen. John Higgins hatte schon für ausgerenkte Unterkiefer gesorgt, als er Mark Selby im Viertelfinale nur sieben Punkte überlassen hatte. Die niedrigste Punktzahl, die ein Spieler jemals in einem best-of-11-Match holte. Dann hatte er das Halbfinale gegen Kyren Wilson dominiert. Unter anderem mit einer Clearance von 51 Punkten, die zum Besten gehörten, was man in den letzten Jahren gesehen hat. Und dann das Finale. Schnell war er zu einer 5-0 Führung gestürmt und von daher gab es keinen Blick in den Rückspiegel mehr für "The Wizard of Wishaw", der vor einigen Jahren aus Motivationsproblemen schon mal sein Queue in die Ecke stellen wollte.

This week I got to sit and talk to the amazing Kat from @yer_awrite the popular Instagram page. Kats page showcased her pop culture art work which I'm sure everyone can relate to from still game, Amy Winehouse, Marvel etc, each image ties into her blog which is written in a down to earth, conversational way with humour and Glaswegian dialect and feels just like you're talking to yer pal. The happy Yellow and white images are all over everyone's Instagram stories which help spread positivity and create a great social media community. The page is now over 18k followers. I'm not allowed to say I'm a fan as Kat's not into that patter but I'm a admirer of her work and have been for some time. The page works strongly with a charity which we have worked with in the past. Chris's House in Wishaw. Who help with suicide awareness and means a lot to many people in this area. We discuss how Kat decided to start posting, how is grown, where she sees it going and then we go off topic as she's extremely easy to talk to with good banter. Her book choices are fantastic which are heavily influenced by her other passion in her life, working with kids. Her choices will help with anyone looking for new ideas for bedtime reading with their kids which have a positive message. Kat had a positive and infectious personality which makes this one an easy listen and will be sure to brighten your day.

WE'VE had matchday two of the West of Scotland League – and it's Darvel and Clydebank flying high at the top of the Premier Division with maximum points. In another season Shots Bon Accord might have been battling it out with them in the top flight too. But instead they're one of 15 clubs now looking on from the outside after choosing to sit out a season without fans. The Bonny had hopes of winning promotion from the West Juniors Championship last season. But the early finish to the campaign because of the pandemic saw them narrowly miss out. Their boss John McKeown joins us on the show this week. We'll get his views on the situation they've found themselves in – and look at how he'll handle things at Hannah Park between now and next season. Plus we'll look back at a lower league playing and managerial career which started out at Ipswich as a kid. We'll hear how hard it was when a hip injury ended his playing days at the age of just 27 and the transition into the dugout at Wishaw. There's his first training session as Cumnock boss, when just seven players turned up, and why he feared the sack after losing 6-0 to Auchinleck just a few days later. Plus John reveals one of the few times he cried as a boss. We'll also discuss the impact of former Lanark chairman and Juniors chief Tam Anderson, who sadly passed away on Saturday. It's all here as we go Down The Divisions. Apologies for the poorer sound quality this week. If you have any comments we'd love to hear from you. Likewise if you're at a club who would like your post-match audio featured on the show then do get in touch.

Die Auslosung der Snooker-WM in Sheffield hat sich in zwei Teile aufgelöst. Die untere mit den großen Namen, die sich in den nächsten 9 Tagen alle gegenseitig rausschmeißen werden. Und die obere Hälfte, in denen mit John Higgins ein weiterer großer Name verschwunden ist und Judd Trump auch noch einiges zu bewerkstelligen hat, um weiterzukommen. Es gibt Gelegenheiten en masse für die Spieler, die im oberen Turniertableau noch vertreten sind. John Higgins hatte in den letzten drei Jahren jeweils das Finale erreicht. Immer zur Weltmeisterschaft hin schaffte es der "Wizard of Wishaw", seine Form so zu steigern, dass er seine besten Leistungen im Crucible zeigte. Dieses Jahr ist es anders. Und dabei schaffte Higgins im 12. Frame sogar ein Maximum Break, die magische 147. Fun Fact am Rande: Es war in Higgins' langer und erfolgreicher Karriere sein erstes in Sheffield bei der WM. Doch Kurt Maflin zeigte sich unbeeindruckt davon, spielte weiterhin sein fehlerarmes Spiel, wurde immer wieder für sein Risiko belohnt und konnte aus einem 10-11 ein 13-11 machen. In der oberen Hälfte ist von den Topfavoriten damit nur noch Judd Trump vertreten. Der hat aber noch genug zu tun, um Y...

Die Snooker-WM in Sheffield hat inzwischen drei Tage hinter sich und die ZuschauerInnen am TV haben den ersten Auftritt von Ronnie O'Sullivan erleben dürfen. Dürfen ist das richtige Stichwort, denn "The Rocket" war in seinem Auftaktmatch gegen Thepchaiya Un-Nooh direkt auf Betriebstemperatur. 8-1 führt der fünfmalige Weltmeister nach der ersten Session. Die Geschichte ist nicht zu Ende erzählt, wenn man verschweigt, dass Un-Nooh keinen guten Tag erwischte und O'Sullivan nicht unter Druck setzen konnte. Doch was der spielte, wenn er in den Bällen war, war schon gehobene Spitzenklasse. Drei Matches wurden am Sonntag beendet. John Higgins gewann gegen Matthew Stevens mit 10-5. Stevens hatte einige Chancen, das Ergebnis knapper zu gestalten, doch einfache Fehler luden den "Wizard of Wishaw" immer wieder zu Frameentscheidenden Breaks ein. Spannender und enger ging es beim Match zwischen Kurt Maflin und David Gilbert zu. Der Norweger gewann am Ende mit 10-8 und ist damit der erste Qualifikant, der bei dieser WM ins Achtelfinale eingezogen ist. Auch Neil Robertson profitierte von einigen Fehlern seines Gegners Liang Wenbo und konnte am Ende einen sicheren 10-5 Sieg einfahre...

"This one is about the events that occurred at my friend Brian 'Yad' Yardleys funeral. For those curious enough to know who he is, he's the man on the front cover of our 'Class' album. He was a dear pal when I was busking on the mean streets of Wishaw and died after living about 1000 lives. I'd like to think he'd approve of the trouble I caused in the chapel, cemetery and boozer that day. After the story, my comrades and I take a trip down memory lane and discuss Brian somewhat further and then we delve into various topics with differing levels of enthusiasm. For fans of altar boys, requiem mass', fighting blind people and Wishaw" - Jamie KeenanSupport the podcast - www.patreon.com/thelafontaines Hosted on Acast.

"This second podcast that we've recorded, I'll be divulging you with a detailed account of the time I got kicked out of T in the Park when we were supposed to be headlining the BBC stage. It started to go wrong when I got on a bus called 'The 5-skin express'. For loads of people that went to the festival especially if you come from Wishaw, you might find you resonate with the sacred pilgrimage to Balado. There was a lot of different Chinese whispers about what happened that weekend but this comes from the horses mouth. And then once the story is over, I will again dissect this horrendous debacle alongside my business partners with spirit and good humour" - Jamie KeenanSupport the podcast - www.patreon.com/thelafontaines Hosted on Acast.
