A couple of close calls but still in I’m trying to stay out of shops but still to get a pressy for mrs G!
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…
Still in. Hoping for my first medal. Bronze Whammer. Tomorrow.
Blown away in the comfort of my own living room today . Walked in to the missus and stepdaughter wrapping Christmas presents with Heart bloody Christmas on the radio .furthest I’ve made it in years.
The Order of the Bronze Whammer. I survived Whamaggedon till the 22'nd.
Still surviving.
Bronze
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.
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.
I'm still in - big risk now is somone putting a Christmas playlist on a speaker on tomorrows pub ride.
Not really playing, okay who am I kidding....you are always playing, just not really going out of my way.
caught a sniff of it last night, the wife had on that crappy mr bean esq thing on Netflix.
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.

my lad did this to me the other year and couldnt believe i was actualy p1ssed off with him for being such a tw4t.
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.
I am home after the final shop.
Once again i have achieved Christmas.
Bugger it let my guard down got in mrs g car to drive to MILs didn’t notice radio was on and suddenly there it was bloody radio 2 a good result overall
it’s on again now 🤯
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.
It hasn't been played on R3 so I'm good.
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.

You don't. Has to be the original.
Completed it mate.
Heard it once at the end of November and not a note since.
We're at the MIL's tomorrow afternoon so it'll be mandatory listening in that house.
Got caught twice this evening. First time was the santa parade down Aviemore high street. Given that santa and the reindeer passed first, I'm counting that as a win!
(second time was in the pub...)
Phew, done it 😀
I can come out of my cave and properly engage with society again.
#Where's my medal?
Happy Christmas everyone, I hope you have a lovely time and contentment comes your way.
Ambrose 👍🏻😀
I see the above as basic campaign medals.
Someone suggested we need gallentry wham medals.
Such as Going Shopping, Christmas Party with a Wham theme, and made to listen to Radio 2 with the mother in law... would a Victoria Cross equivalent for example.
Any other suggestions?
and enjoy the song 🙂
Another survivor here 💪. I think that not getting slayed by Slade's irritating offering may be more of a challenge. Any thoughts?
Well by avoiding going out (as I've not needed to..) I've managed to not be struck out for the first time in I don't know how long... YaY!
As we went out for our Christmas meal today it was inevitable that I'd hear it and I did, but I double-checked the official Whamageddon rules and it runs until the end of the 24th so I'm still a Whamageddon champion! 🙂
Still any time I hear that song is a defeat, so I'd rather avoid it even though the competition is over.
I got done on the 24th. Watching the Newcastle RB match is was played in the ground. Miffed.
Heard it for the first time today at my mother's house. Totally inevitable on local commercial radio.
