In this live Christmas Day special, I’m joined by the usual merry band of reprobates for a warm, free?wheeling evening of music, memories and mischief. We swap weather notes from the UK and the States, compare festive traditions, and I confess to my rare appearance in long trousers while recounting a blissfully simple Christmas lunch run to Aldi. Between glasses of port and plenty of chuckles, we reminisce about childhood Sundays, milk floats, schooldays, and the comforting soundtracks of the season from Vince Guaraldi and more. We also duck in and out of bigger themes—Dickens, The Man Who Invented Christmas, Mark Twain, old apprenticeships, lost engineering know?how, transport, and how technology (and AI) might help or hinder. There’s some cheeky cracker?joke banter, listener shout?outs from WBN, YouTube and Rumble, and a handful of seasonal tunes to keep spirits high. A friendly, meandering Christmas night with pals—exactly what it says on the tin.'Paul English Live' (show site): https://paulenglishlive.comRumble (show streams): https://rumble.comYouTube (show streams): https://www.youtube.comAldi UK: https://www.aldi.co.ukStagecoach Bus (UK): https://www.stagecoachbus.comAmazon Alexa: https://www.amazon.com/alexaCharles Dickens Museum (London): https://dickensmuseum.com'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens (British Library work page): https://www.bl.uk/works/a-christmas-carolThe Man Who Invented Christmas (2017 film) – IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt
