Welcome to the Dellingpot with me, James Dellingpole, and I'm feeling both excited and a little bit sad.

The reason I'm excited is because I've got this amazing event coming up.

It's called James and Dick's Christmas special.

Can you guess what it involves?

That's right.

It's James and Dick on a stage, just chatting the usual rubbish, but with an intimate audience.

And it will be surrounded by drinks with a cash bar.

Woodfire pizzas will be available.

You have to pay for them, but I think you'll want to feed.

And most important of all, you will be surrounded you have to pay for them but but I think you want to you want to feed and most important of all you will be surrounded by like-minded folk I mean that's the real point

of these events obviously Dick and I will probably say some funny things and by the way I don't

think I'm going to record this event so it's like be there or miss it totally. There'll be a cash bar.

I've insisted on the cash bar this time after the disaster at the last event where people

went to a pub and found it was card only, which is a bit off brand. It's going to be in North

Hamptonshire. You'll get the details as soon as you buy your ticket

my big worry is that tickets are selling out quite fast

there are not that many it's not like one of my big London events

and you're going to

these intimate ones are probably more fun in a way

because you get more access, I don't know, something like that.

Anyway, lots of the usual suspects are coming.

Oh, and Dick's band.
