Something For The Weekend - The Oban Times

Plenty of chit chat and cheer in this week's Something for the Weekend. We're a cultural lot at the Oban Times so listen in for news about a panto for Oban and what was happening on Luing this week to mark Book Week Scotland. Merriment  as a  Welsh castle and celebrities were also in the pot ..... so to speak! Oh and beware...the dolphins!   Presented by Fiona, Kathie, Ellis and Steevie With contributions from Kevin Baker and Norman Bissel

We're back with the banter and laughs, spreading a bit of Friday cheer with Something For the Weekend! Hip, hip, hoorah! From a toon in the hoose to Scottish word of the week ...your guess is as good as ours - to what's on - and getting ready for Christmas supporting our local businesses...and more.   

With Ellis,  Kathie, Fiona and Steevie with additional material from Martin MacLeod

Ellis, Kathie and Steevie are back with some more weekend banter  Kathie is getting all her supplies in for winter including candles and firewood, Steevie is busy gathering in all the good TV he can find and Ellis is having  retro fun with his new 19” TV and DVD player…

Join Fiona, Kathie, Ellis and Steevie with their cheerful banter about what they have been up to and some thoughts for things to do at the weekend.

This week avoiding the jelly fish – getting stung and strange tastes for rats and mice.

Gordon is definitely alive as Flash Gordon heads back into cinemas nationwide – Steevie is excited about the Oban Cinema reopening soon and wondering if Flash! Might be heading to Oban soon and what films the crew might want to see back on the big screen as lockdown continues to relax.

Fiona is heading out to the golf course and the team contemplate a delicious location for an outside (future) broadcast which might include cakes and scones….

Good news Friday!

Fiona, Kathie, Ellis and Martin deliver happy tidings during their regular Friday morning chat. New arrivals, exam results and weather are just some of the topics discussed by the team this week

More madcap banter from the OT team this week including Kathie having quandaries over whether or not to curb her wanderlust this weekend as she ponders a day trip to Gigha, Ellis needs to decide quick whether or not to dash back to the charity shop to buy that chunk of carved wood that no words 'not even for Ellis' can describe and Martin is Ballachulish-bound - but not in an inflatable kayak.

Kathie gets the wobbles in this week's Podcast after a too close for comfort encounter with a creature of the deep, Fiona's all packed up for her family reunion jollidays and Ellis is rejoicing in social liberation - of sorts while Martin is looking forward to more splendid solitude in his kayak.

Something for the Weekend 17th July 2020

Some more silly banter about what the team is thinking about doing this weekend Ellis, Fiona and Steevie are back with their interesting mix of chat and information and recommendations.

This week Ellis may have a bit of a Minor incident whilst off looking for a bird ,he and Fiona will be rummaging about in a storage container. Steevie considers recycling and maybe getting out a bit more (whilst observing all the current recommendations and regulations) and they discuss the wonderfulness (if indeed that is a word) of Visit Scotland’s new video Only in Scotland: Why Scotland Needs You.

Benderloch Pizza has the team hungry for a wee meal out and takeaway but Kathie’s beetroot delights may not win everyone over .

"Winter is coming" (For Kathie and Steevie ) and the team also discuss eating out, wearing masks, Simon Cowell and the end of their workmates holiday….
