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.
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 😬
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.
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.
couple of hours to go, my lads visiting and hadnt heard of the game, id told him i was nearly there so he played it on his phone, just to be a dick!
does this count?? i know its christmas, goodwill to all men and all that, but if hes ambushed me like that and ive lost, then im going to put dogsh1t in his christmas dinner.
does this count??
Yes, it does.
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 not heard it!
Still in, just taken a few hours refuge watching Die Hard.
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.
Well, it's almost midnight, so I think I can get away with posting this now..
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.
Congratulations to everyone who made it!
