One of the mums at the school Christmas service got two phone calls in church. 

which wouldn’t have been so bad. But her ring tone was “Last Christmas”

so there’s that…

Unbelievably, I'm still in. 

We've been at Center Parcs since Friday with non stop Christmas music blasting from every structure in sight.

No Wham though. If I survive tomorrow morning I'm safe.

@sharkattack

You got a bronze.

Fingers crossed for the silver.

 

It's seem many have survived so far this year, a mast year if you like.

Somehow I am still in. I went shopping in Llandeilo this afternoon pretty much the antithesis of piped music. I have one more shopping trip to make for beers and wines and then I can relax apart from one minor niggle: my brother's arriving tomorrow and if he gets any inkling about it he's bound to play the blummin' tune just to annoy me.

Also. The tune is pretty much on repeat in my head. Not really what I want tbh.

Also also. I've only heard Fairytale of New York once so far and that was only three days ago. Poguemagedon: is it a thing?

It's been either cancelled or edited because of the salty language.

Even my Mrs skipped it the other day in case it traumatised our 4 year old. 

She'd shit a brick if she heard what we listen to when she's not there.

Knocked out so close to the finish line, by Sally Lindsay's Christmas Quiz on tv in the background while I was on the pc! 🤣

The 🤬 at work played it on purpose as I walked in this morning. This is despite some of them still being in too. Cut off their own nose to spite my face. 🤣

Still, a pretty decent run.

I had a cafe stop on my ride yesterday and they were playing all of the Christmas songs. I had my sausage roll and coffee, then left sharpish.

I'm with the MIL so am legally obliged to listen to Radio 2. Gary Davies just played it. 

I was actually out on December 2nd but listening to that, my heart went out to all those brave souls who must have just been taken out by his callous actions.

Home from work, done the shopping, and still in, unless you count Emily Pilbeam playing the Future Islands cover on 6music yesterday, for which she got a lot of flack, and claimed not to know about it (as a DJ on a national radio station? How?!). Going to a party tonight though.

Seems like Wham have almost been cancelled, presumably because numpties taking it too seriously and sending shop managers death threats for playing it. But maybe I'm just avoiding all the right (wrong) places.

I was saying yesterday Poguemageddon would be a good alternative. It's not as prevalent, but it's acceptable in a broader range of places so would be tricky. 

Waitressmageddon would be tough too.

Christmas is Christmas eve in these parts which is now so I've made it without trying, Madame too. In fact I haven't heard any Christmas songs either. I listened to M-radio in the car a few weeks ago, zilch. No Christmas music in the shops, none in service areas. It strikes me that AI crap has replaced music royalties have to be paid on so no Wham.
