Hmm, is there a jury you can go to? VAR for Whamageddon?

Fair cop. Youngest tells me he was out at 837am on the 1st!
Taken out last night at works Christmas do, DJ randomly throws it in, no other Christmas stuff, I think it was deliberate.

You can play a Joker. Only if you announce a gap where you may hear it, such adverts on channel 4.
Been round a few Christmas/craft markets today, and surprisingly still in the game.
So far so good but TBH it’s still early 🙂
I got about 10seconds of it on Spotify adverts last night. It's the free version and I was elbow deep in veg prep. I feel dirty now
Ahm oot!
Got whambushed yesterday as i walking through a local christmas market.
Now out, mate had it on his playlist when giving me a lift. I was hoping for a stronger showing but luckily it'll be another year before I give it another go.
Thought I might get away with it this year, but I was unexpectedly nailed in a hipster cocktail bar in Glasgow on Saturday 😢
Perhaps they were playing it ironically.
Out - sitting in a cafe. Bah.
I surprisingly survived walking past the Christmas market in Edinburgh on Saturday, hopefully I should be relatively safe until next weekend now.
Definitely got Wham bam boozled on Friday 5th. We'd been in a meeting room in a hotel for the last two days, but the room we were in was playing Christmas music - managed until about 10am. Got 'hit' a few times later as we were in Manchester prior to a concert.
Got whammed at a rugby match at the weekend. And Cardiff RFC lost to the Gogs. But good stuff all the same.
There was a chap wearing a WHAM Last Christmas sweatshirt just walked past me as I was waiting outside the supermarket earlier this afternoon. Clearly he's not much of a player 🤦♂️
Just been whammed by my sister in law as it started playing on here phone while she was looking at something 😡
I'm out. Playing in the doctor's this morning, but I'd just been told my tinnitus was potentially curable so I'm happier than I've been in months!
I really thought that a Christmas playlist at work today (Christmas jumper enforced fun day) or at my dentist appointment later would see me off, but no! Still in it to win it!
Survived "festive day" at work, team night out doing fake curling followed by restaurant, and even the emergency Uber home after my train was cancelled. He had Heart Radio on too!
well i took the decision to exit on purpose sadly. grandaughters nativity play, my wife and my lad went yesterday and told me it was a good job i couldnt go as they played it 😀
opportunity arose this morning for a ticket so i nipped out of work to go, fully aware that my time would be up. im comfortable with that decision 🙂
ahm oot.
Just spoke to a colleague - they played it 2 mins after I left the restaurant last night. It's like a bullet has been stopped by a cigarette case.
Popped into a cafe for brunch today and got busted, Mrs dB nearly escaped as she was on the loo but came out too quickly and got caught too, so we're both oot 🤨
Meh, just get caught by London news, whilst sat in Spain 🙁
Out. The film "The Holiday" should have a warning - "contains mild sexual references and a snippet of Last Christmas"
I'm still in, probably as I've been very antisocial
Earlier in the thread, I warned about post match music being played in the stadium when watching your team.
Top Tip: If you watch any football, the PA system might play it when the match finishes. A Newcastle match caught me out last year
This time, it was the pre match music that got me.
Dammit
Does a Spotify advert snippet count? If not, I'm still in.

@jimmy sadly, from the whamageddon site itself......
I'm still in despite having to visit Shrewsbury town centre to accompany MrsA. Dodged a bullet somehow.
I had a close shave last week in the pub but was reassured that what I heard was a cover version- phew
#livingontheedge
Still in!
My local pub has adopted some kind of shit Christmas song cover version playlist, suspect it's cheaper on royalties than the real thing. Reckon this is helping.
I was out before December had even started. One of the guys at work put on a Christmas playlist and its was the first one to be played
You can't be out before December starts. The game starts December 1st.
Because I'm not a fan of Giles Peterson, I've decided to live dangerously by putting Radio 2 on.
I'm still in, despite Mrs fadda having radio 2 on in the car, and going shopping twice!
Thought I was going to be had today when we stopped off for a coffee after a walk - Christmas playlist was on but I still escaped.
Don't know how long I can last, as I'm at the leisure centre tomorrow and Tuesday, with the kids soft play area very audibly close, but hey ho...
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.
