At what point have we actually made it? Is it Xmas day?
I'm still in! Last heard it at the end of November. Got the Kings carol service on atm - that should be safe?
I got put out this morning buying a bacon and tattie scone roll. Should have known better than to go to Aulds.
Mil has got radio 2 on full blast upstairs.
This could be the end for me 😭
1723 Christmas Eve. I normally make it but when I don’t I’ve been out pretty early so this is a new and unwelcome snatching of the prize at the last minute.
Turns out I would have done it this year if it wasn’t for my devious daughter I mentioned earlier in this thread!
Got got on the way home from the supermarket 2pm because my missis insists on playing Heart radio in the van instead of 6 music. I didn't even click I was whistling along until she pointed it out. 🤣
Merry bloomin' Christmas.
0:07 here, very Bond and no Wham! I've made it! (WFH+living in Spain does make it a bit easier, but it's still a pretty international classic!)
Might actually put it on now, just because 🙂
Sky+ed “Motherland: Last Christmas”. Sat down to watch and it had recorded the film Last Christmas… the song played! I didn’t turn it off though, well not for about another 5 mins when I realised what a godawful film it was.
Turns out Motherland Last Christmas was bloody hilarious.
Spending the majority of December on a sail boat has meant I'd actually forgotten all about this, so am still in! Only a few hours to go...
12 minutes to go, I believe I’m home and dry.
Made it. Very surprised.
Ditto
I heard a couple of cover versions on the radio but I survived
Made it. What do we win?
I'm a survivor too, despite having to do a Christmas Eve Sainsburys and town run. No idea how I made it, almost no active avoidance. I did make sure the "Last Christmas" film didn't come on though.
Random 8 hour re-post!
Ha ha. Damn you with your Rick Astley..
Merry Christmas Whamageddon participants.
Well done to all the successful people that made it
Made it.
Worried about what that means in terms of my interactions with normal society.
Right, time to avoid sprouts is looming.
I've made it! First time I've survived
That's despite multiple trips to the supermarket and a shopping centre
I made it 2.30. When is the cut off?
You win if you make it to Christmas day without hearing it, hearing it on the day itself is fine - except for the fact you are being subjected to the song at all, obviously.
I'm a winner! Which is nice as I was knocked out on the 1st of December last year.

I also survived the Spanish edition,I reckon if I’d have been listening to the local radio I may have been nobbled as they play a lot of English language all year round.
Great prize kayak23 🎄
I made it!!!
To finally put this thread to bed for 2022, and possibly for all time...
