I’m still in due to wearing earplugs at work all day. It’ll be a sneaky clip on tv that gets me, or like last year when I jumped in the car, bluetooth didn’t connect, radio came on and it was playing. And I really really hated Steve Wright before that!
I’m hosting a team quiz next week, including a festive “name that tune” music round.
Would it be evil to include Last Christmas?
I am including it in my quiz, so no it’s totally ok to Wham a large group of friends simultaneously. Although I accidently Whammed myself in the preparation of the round.
Yesterday, admittedly this might actually the first Xmas that’s come earlier than before (so to speak), but going day day 2 was hard. I almost feel like I deserve a do-over.
This year should be a breeze. I’m the only one in the office and walk to work. No radio and music of my choosing. Won’t be visiting any shops or town centres for the foreseeable either. I’m gonna go bold and state I won’t here it at all.
I’m out as from yesterday.. Managed to avoid it with headphones all the way round the Co-op but then got whammo’d when I took them out at the post office and George Michael drifted through from the shop..
I am going to give this a good attempt, as everyone else is WFH, the office doesn’t have this constant shit playing this year…. Yay for Covid.. err can I say that?
I will be Ok until around the 20th when I start travelling home, airports, trains, taxis, if I manage to get through all of that then I will get done on Christmas eve when I arrive home.
Gah, that’s me out. Flippin’ Radio 2 on in the workshop. Got earplugs in but everyone is on a break and the machine’s are quiet. Still better than the 2nd like last year.
Daughter is a student teacher on placement. She didnt know about whamaggedon and thought she’d cheer up the miserable b’stards in the staff room by playing Xmas tunes on the first Dec at lunchtime.
Cue wham and half of the teachers out of the game!
Didn’t realise this was an actual thing even though I’ve now concerted to Absolute from Heart. I’m still in and working from home and being advised not to go anywhere ever, I reckon I’ll make it for a while longer yet. I control my own flat, the fella isn’t into listening to Christmas tunes as he only listens to absolute and that’s pretty much everyone in my world so it’s going to be easy!
Had a visit from a colleague, foolishly mentioned this to him and how this year would be a breeze. He hijacked the office Sonos and played it at full volume. I should’ve seen that one coming.
I got taken out early this year- almost made it last time but bloody Santa drives around the streets every year fundraising for the round table and he had it on full blast, the inconsiderate prick.
Radio 3 have not yet succumbed. But they have gone for a modern composer of the week. Danger here. And the Listening Project was getting avant guard too. Avoided shops so far. Might be safe yet.
