out yesterday. Playing in the background of a work call, of all things. Should be a disciplinary, frankly.
I was out 5 days ago. As I feared it was the radio at work, I was sat in the staff room telling one of the staff about whamageddon, it was the next song that came on. I made her spray tea everywhere when I shouted ****!
I don't think I've ever made it this far before!
Surprisingly I'm still in, even after putting the local radio station on for a bit yesterday.
Helped mostly by listening to podcasts in the car and not going shopping.
I'm still in. I'm wfh 3 days a week so no danger there. Main danger is that I'm working part time as a supermarket delivery driver. In a different van every shift and the radio is left on, and also have to walk through the store at the start of every shift.
My most imminent threat is next doors builders radio....
So far, so good..
I thought I'd lost it, but turns out it was just a cover. Live to fight another day.
Bloody TOTP2 has done for me this year. Wasn't even watching it, just flicking through the channels, but half a second was enough!
Note to self - must check Radio Times (BBC) and TV Times (ITV) in future for possible danger.
Hah, remember those days?🙄🤔
NOOOOOOoooooo should of known it would happen, come to see my parents for two weeks over Christmas and mum listens to smooth radio and I've just been hit! *falls down as if struck by death*
I was whambushed by a colleague in a Christmas Zoom call last night.
I'm still alive. I'm usually out immediately but I'm sitting in a huge, empty office while everyone else 'works' from home.
6 music on the radio and I'm going home in a hour. I think I'm safe now unless I get stung by the telly at home. Although, I might have to visit a supermarket at some point.
‘Whambushed’
****in brilliant
Damn it, I'm out! Whambushed by a colleague putting Christmas radio on! How dare she! That's the furthest I've ever got though...
Still in thanks to a Whamageddon tip off by the DJ on local radio. Is that cheating?
Whammed at 2.45pm. Local hardware store. I only went in to pay for a Christmas Tree. Fair enough, I s’pose.
DO NOT, repeat DO NOT, listen to @nedboulting playing his recorder.
Still in. Radio 3 is serving me well...
effortlessly in. Unless completing lyrics in a work quiz counts. Once bitten, but twice shy, I keep my distance...
(Hearing it playing in your head doesn't count either, does it?)
put myself out last night - daughter was wrapping presents and moaning she didn't have any christmas music
A deep, cold, cold fear gripped me as I uttered the phrase "Alexa - play some christmas music"
bitch !
Still in. Radio 3 is serving me well…
It's a little oasis isn't it?
“Alexa – play some christmas music”
Well I guess that's what passes for a traditional Christmas these days.
I'm still in, well past my previous best of 14th so any extra day is a bonus.
Still in. Made it to Christmas Eve last year before a lift with a friend, radio on... whammed.
I'm living dangerously with MsBeej and her morning crappy radio station though.
I scored an own goal last Sunday. Putting up the Christmas tree with the kids I put on a Spotify Christmas mix. Guess what the second song was 🤦♂️
So far all good here. Should be easy this year no parties and many shops not playing music.
I'm out ffs. Walked into store this morning to start my shift and boom, first thing I heard!
Listening to Planet Rock. Crappy Ozzy ballad comes on. Ms Beej says "hey, we could put on R2 and laugh at Rylan". I say "Ah, but he might be playing Christmas songs". Agree to live dangerously.
Turn over at 15.07.
Boom.
And now he's gone and apologised to anyone playing Whamageddon!
I don't go shopping. I don't have to listen to music at work. The only radio station I listen to when I can't Spotify is Absolute Rock. So unless it plays whilst I watch rugby on the telly (I hit mute whenever adverts come on.) I'll be good til the end.
I'm out.
Mrs_oab switched the radio on in the car....halfway through the wrong song.
So I knew I was quite safe given my social and listening activities. Popped out for a short evening ride and got Whammed by the Round Table Santa float. Bugger.
My daughter keeps putting Heart radio on in the car when I see her but so far I have managed to avoid getting whamkered.... I bet I'll get hit when I see her on Wednesday
Still in, Pretty sure I’ve not made it this far before. Thought I was done for when I heard the opening bars but Mrs Sims was listening to a version in French, so all good.
I got Whammageddoned by the bloody Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh this evening, bah.
Whammed at 2.45pm. Local hardware store. I only went in to pay for a Christmas Tree. F
air enough, I s’pose.
Actually despite singing it to myself. I AM STILL in!
FFS - league of their own Xmas special...
A little over 24 hours to go and I’m still in.
I'm still in!
Had a lucky escape today. It was going to be the next song on the radio when I parked to do a food shop. Thankfully at 6am there was no queue to get into Tesco's car park
Yeah I was so close the other day with a similar thing I was in the car with the wife who tried to turn it back to sing along. That wasn’t happening.
Still going...even the junior Fazzinis haven't Whammed me 🤣
I’m still in, never started out to avoid but as more days past I realised I was doing well, and become an active avoider 😂
Not sure where I got 24 hours from. 😂
Anyway close call jumping in the car to charge it and the DJ announces that it had just played.
Still in!
I heard it at Carrow Road on Saturday. I don’t care though as I really like the song AND the video*, so there!
*It reminds me of happy Christmases long ago. Hurrah for Wham!
God WHAM it! 10.30 this morning. Start the engine and before I can even press the CD button I hear the ominous line "once bitten, twice shy..." emanating from the car stereo. I'm out
