Who thinks the reason it is number one is due to all the downloads and sneaky streams of people trying to catch out their mates. I hear the royalties go to charity (is that right?). If so, that, and the good naturedness of the whole "game", makes it pretty awesome in my book. Thank heavens it wasn't Mariah Carey is all I can say!

Heard an intro to a story last night (R4) about the Christmas no.1.   Hit the off button just in case*. Phew!  The inevitable will happen today, I'm sure.

* to be fair, "Christmas no. 1" has always had that effect.

Nooooo! Walk downstairs this morning and Mrs F has it on. Taken out in my own house on Christmas Eve.

Still in! I'm currently trusting Mark Radcliffe on R6 to do the right thing. Off for a family pub lunch later which is the danger period 😬

3 ****ing time in the same restaurant yesterday, very annoyed, I'd thought I'd get through this year.

Still in.  There are benefits to not listening to the radio at all.  Mrs g-d threatened to break it deliberately yesterday as everyone else has been out since early December.

Nearly made it but only have myself to blame for not checking the tracklistings.

Still standing , but the television is an insidious enemy.  Noise cancelling earphones are my friend - also helps that I am rather immobile with tendonitis so not out and about today enjoying the lovely weather.

This will possibly upset @ChrisL but I'm still in 😁

All it takes is being unemployed, avoiding all radio, and spending the minimum amount of time possible in public.

Still in, and feeling pretty smug about it having survived a couple of hours in the pub at lunch time. I reckon I'm safe now, we are watching the Mark Gatiss ghost story thing on iPlayer and then probably sacking it for the night. Happy Wham free Christmas 🙂

Sat at home and have managed to avoid it this year. The first time I've gone the whole way, very pleased.

Safe oot, safe hame.    Still don't want to hear it though.

However the fun in this is getting to describe your demise, so I feel I may have missed out.
