    Survived 20 mins in M&S yesterday, didn’t risk going in any other shops though. This evening could be the end of the road, Christmas meal = no escape route, I’ll accept my fate and bow out gracefully when the inevitable happens.

    wifey had left the radio on Smooth.

    Whamageddon or not, surely that’s grounds for divorce? 😉

    Just for the count, I’m still in

    Update:

    No crimbo tunes on in pub or restaurant, so survived to fight another day.

    Out.

    It’s my own fault, I got cocky after a lucky shopping trip.

    I don’t like Xmas songs, the ‘Crimbo ****’ in work only seem to like Bing **** Cosby so I was sure as long as I stuck to my music streaming and Radio X I’d see this out.

    Popped home to have lunch with my Wife, she just started laughing. I hadn’t even noticed George and Andrew had ‘unleashed the beast’ so to speak.

    Maybe I was out weeks ago, but I’m completely cheesy Xmas song deaf.

    Thought I was out last night when the round table came down our road with their Santa Sleigh, collecting for charity.

    Christmas tunes blasting out so crazily loudly I could hear them clearly in the kitchen, at the back of the house, even though the sound was distorting so much.

    Then it started, the first bars……

    …”Nnnoooooooo!!!!” I shouted, holding my hands to my ears….

    ….then I realized…

    No lyrics! I’d be saved by a karaoke version so I live to listen another day 🙂

    BRING IT ON!

    Been Pogued, but I don’t mind that so much.

    Still alive, not been sent to Whamhalla yet, but have to venture into That There Town Place this weekend for some of the Christmas fripperies, so will have to don my Wham-cancelling headphones – you can get those, right?

    Arse. I thought I was on to a winner as I work from home and never go into town or listen to the radio, but the Christmas album has started playing at the climbing wall.

    I’m out – beaten by MrsMC retuning the car radio to Heart Christmas.

    Good job I kept the receipt for her present

    Somehow I’ve managed to hear every christmas song bar Wham! Thought I’d got caught on day 2 but it turned out to be a really crap cover version in Poundland (there with work…) so got away with it.

    Suppose it helps that I generally work alone or at least have control of the radio so can limit any chance of exposure I get. It’s only dangerous when I go into customer’s premises but seeing as most are playing the game too it’s surprisingly safe during working hours.

    Still in. Somehow I’ve managed to hear every Christmas song going, bar Last Christmas. Three days away for work next week, so hopefully continue to avoid it.

    Still here, thanks to my usual expedient of avoiding leaving the house during December.

    Damn you Screwfix, damn you to hell!

    I thought I was in for the duration after successfully running the gauntlet of the shopping centre yesterday, but no – one silly “click and collect” moment did for me.

    and I’m out…..

    Half time music at Guildford City FC vs Molesey FC tonight.

    Shit game, only went because son was ball boying (cost me £7 to get in so they could earn £6), cold, wet, and whamageddon’ed on top of it all.

    If anyone from GCFC is on here, you played rubbish, even your pen wasn’t one and you got what you deserved out of the game.

    Not happy.

    Still in, but a very close shave – went upstairs and Ms Beej had the radio playing in the bathroom. She shouted at me to go back down, which I did before realising what was playing.
