=== James's August Bash (04:07) ===

[00:00:00]  Welcome to The Dellingbot with me, James Dellingpole.
[00:00:05]  And I just wanted to tell you about something really exciting coming up quite shortly.
[00:00:10]  It's James Dellingpole's birthday bash.
[00:00:13]  His big birthday bash, I believe it's been called.
[00:00:15]  Can you guess why?
[00:00:17]  Well, unfortunately, I've got a big birthday coming up.
[00:00:21]  I don't normally like to celebrate these things, but this one is kind of unavoidable.
[00:00:28]  It's not actually on my birthday, it's on August the 1st.
[00:00:31]  My actual birthday was held on the anniversary of the day when the atomic bomb didn't go off over Hiroshima because nukes aren't real and it was a napalm strike.
[00:00:44]  But that's another story.
[00:00:45]  So my big birthday bash is on August the 1st.
[00:00:48]  And the highlights include, well, I suppose the highlight is me chatting on stage, doing a Dellingpod live with Bob Moran.
[00:01:00]  Now, apart possibly from my brother Dick, who's obviously easy to talk to because he's my brother, I think Bob is one of the people I most enjoy chatting to him because he's bright, obviously.
[00:01:12]  He's got hinterland.
[00:01:14]  He doesn't take prisoners and the conversation could go in any direction and it probably will.
[00:01:21]  I'm really looking forward to our chat.
[00:01:23]  So thank you, Bob, for appearing on the stage with me.
[00:01:26]  Also, we've got Dick.
[00:01:27]  Dick will be there, of course, and he'll be playing bass with unregistered chickens.
[00:01:32]  I've also got some of my friends from the world of natural health coming up.
[00:01:37]  And if you arrive early enough, you might be able to try some of their potions or even their treatments.
[00:01:44]  I'm not sure what they want to do, but there'll be stalls and things to look at.
[00:01:49]  And there'll be pizza.
[00:01:52]  There'll be pizza.
[00:01:53]  Really delicious.
[00:01:54]  The last time, last event I had, we've got the same caterers.
[00:01:59]  food is extra obviously but uh the pizzas were really good and they also did these really nice i These nice, I think it was pooled beef, something like that.
[00:02:10]  It was just food you'd want to eat.
[00:02:13]  I think the best thing about these events isn't even about me.
[00:02:16]  It's about all the other wonderful people that turn up.
[00:02:21]  You'll be amazed.
[00:02:22]  These are like the best friends you've never met.
[00:02:25]  Because you'll suddenly feel, hang on a second, I'm not alone.
[00:02:28]  There are other crazies just like me.
[00:02:30]  They're really, really fun, these events.
[00:02:32]  I would do them much more often, but unfortunately I get so knackered because of my tedious illness thing.
[00:02:38]  I mean, I've barely recovered from the last one.
[00:02:42]  It's in the middle.
[00:02:43]  It's in central England, I will tell you.
[00:02:45]  It is surrounded by beautiful countryside.
[00:02:48]  There'll be BNBs and stuff you can stay in.
[00:02:52]  I would do that if I were you.
[00:02:54]  It's on a Friday night, August the 1st, I mentioned.
[00:02:58]  But you might want to make a weekend of it because there's lots of stuff to see around and about.
[00:03:02]  Or you could come early and have a walk.
[00:03:03]  I don't know.
[00:03:04]  Whatever.
[00:03:05]  Anyway, I hope I will see you there.
[00:03:08]  August the 1st, James's big birthday bash.
[00:03:12]  It's going to be fun.
[00:03:15]  Strictly limited number of tickets.
[00:03:17]  There's only going to be 20 VIP tickets for reasons which will become obvious if you buy one.
[00:03:25]  They're for people who want to have special quality time with James.
[00:03:28]  Otherwise, I just get a normal ticket.
[00:03:30]  You will have fun, but please be quick because there are limited tickets.
[00:03:35]  They're being very strict on numbers, the venue.
[00:03:38]  So get in there as soon as you can.
[00:03:41]  And won't it be great?
[00:03:43]  Like, August, I think, is a really boring month.
[00:03:46]  Everyone goes away.
[00:03:47]  You'll need something to cheer you up with the fact that you're not in Ibiza or Greece or wherever you would like to be.
[00:03:55]  This will make up for the fact.
[00:03:56]  And we'll all be able to commiserate with one another and have a really, really good time.
[00:04:00]  I'm so looking forward to seeing you there at James's big birthday bash.
[00:04:07]  Thank you.
