We're dropping like flies this year!
Absolute radio are not playing it across their network, so you're safe listening to any if their stations.
I still haven't heard it yet....
Littlest had whammed himself into the floor from the back of the sofa and broken his collarbone.
Impressive commitment to the game!
... i've actually never heard of it. But also highly unlikely i'll even hear a christmas song this year. I don't often go anywhere there's music I don't choose myself.
a very long standing friend recently told me that his sister in law was in the last christmas video
Cubs Christmas musical statues with festive playlist. Of course….
Be prepared!
I'm surprisingly I'm still in - have resorted to using headphones at the gym to reduce the risk from Dodgy FM Christmas Hits.
I’m doing well this year. Only listening to radio four in the car and listening to Spotify playlists through headphones in the office. Not planning on visiting any shops so, fingers crossed, I could survive the season!
Being currently not in full time employment is really benefitting me this year.
So far I have only heard a cover version on a Facebook ad.
I do however need to go christmas shopping...
I remember you bringing the cd to a trailbuilding session.
CD?
If it was me, it would have been on an iPod!

Bloody hell. 6am and i'm arriving at the start of a ride and listening to the Australian equivalent of Radio 4 and what suddenly comes on without warning at the start of a segment on christmas songs?
Well it wasn't Fairytale of New York I tell you 🙁
Damn you Zoe Ball! I’d nearly done a full week.
Radio 2 innit.
A bit like going to the airport and being surprised that you've seen aeroplanes 😉
Done over last-night by a London blackcab. I swear when it struck up, cars around us stuck in traffic started beeping their horn.
Yep Radio 2 for me as well. Jeremy Vine declaring River by Joni Mitchell was his favourite Christmas song, then promptly playing Last Christmas. What the hell!
Tuesday and Sara Cox saw me out. She even said that she was going to play it, but I was too slow in turning the radio off in the car. Oh well another year!
Sara Cox got me last night, came back into the garage and it was halfway through. She apparently forgot to warn people as well, oh well done worse.
Managed to steer clear so far, including yesterday in the full day of being dragged around the shops as 'bagman'. Yay. I resigned myself from the outset to hearing it more than once, but it didn't happen. I assumed tantrum position more than once during the high street expedition, however; I simply loathe shopping.
Then the announcement that we needed to go to the supermarket on the way home, which meant well over an hour of dicing with the inevitable. It still didn't happen. The God's of awful Christmas music have been kind, so far.*
*To be fair, it's an incredibly well put together song, with brilliant songwriting, as with most of George Michael's work. He was very, very talented.
Well into the month and it's not been on Radio 3 yet.
Not heard it yet despite an afternoon of present shopping yesterday
I did hear one of these open last night, does that count?

A football stadium DJ has apologised for playing Last Christmas by Wham!, potentially knocking more than 7,000 people out of cult game Whamageddon.
Managed to get this far without hearing it but the Locker room at work has the radio playing 24/7 so I'm just waiting for the time I'm getting changed and the damn thing comes on.
Never been bothered by this in past years but this time im actually trying not to hear it, no idea why
Seems some people take this quite seriously!
Yup,I bet they don't stand on cracks and spit at magpies 😉
Thought I was doing well,then got taken out yesterday by a person on a mobility scooter,wee speaker playing full blast Xmas tunes 🤪 😜
interval music at my son's college performing arts showcase. Part of the showcase is that the kids (6th formers so not littl'uns) produce most of it barring a couple of whole cast pieces, I suspect the kids may have consciously chosen it. ie: my lad has deliberately whammed me and his mum while he'll have been offstage so he can claim a W this year.
Came on here to declare my loss, but re-reading the rules a brass ensemble version doesn't count. Yay!!
Got whammed last night at a birthday party.
First year I've lost for quite a while 😭
It's just dawned on me that getting caught out by George Michael in a public toilets has a nice ring to it.
I think he would have approved and I have come to terms with it.
Next year I will be playing quality Christmas tune bingo.
I will field suggestions for actual good Christmas songs to be ticked off in the run up.

Fnarr fnarr.
Got whammed by my wife's xmas playlist on Saturday morning, whamming herself in the process. Then daughter and son both got whammed at their respective Saturday night parties. The whole family got wiped out in one day.
On the plus side my band played it last night at our big xmas gig and everyone bloody loved it. (Nobody was whammed of course, only the original counts)
I'm still in, currently.
I'm now off work until after Christmas, though, so it'll get more difficult to avoid...
Going out tonight - Birthday bash, wish me luck!
apparently someone played it on the tannoy at a footy match at half-time for a league 1 match and there were about 7000 in the crowd - lots of people were apparently very very angry which is kinda odd and also funny that someone would be so bothered about a song game
ooooh still in, just had a false alarm tho. i reckoned 6 music would be a safe haven but had a nasty scare a few minutes ago. 'ah balls, they got me!" i thought, but it was 'only' club tropicana. phew, live to fight another day.
My 11 year old sung it in the kitchen yesterday.
Dammit!
