Whamaggedon 2024

FFS.  Watched a film with Mrs fadda this evening, and got whammed halfway through.

Film was called “Carry On” with Tarun Egerton, if you want to avoid…

Got Whammed at work today, faking Radio 2.

Still in, thought I was going to get done last night at the wife’s Christmas party but that was the one Christmas track the DJ didn’t play.

PSA for those still in the game.  Avoid BBC2 tonight at 8:35.  A whole program dedicated to the story of Last Christmas and how it became a cultural phenomenon.  It would be prudent to avoid Beeb 2 all evening actually its bloomin Wham/George Michael night.

Ooops too late 🙂

Thanks for the BBC2 warning, irrespective of your Whamageddon status, that’s  a PSA

TBH I didn’t mind it,a nostalgic meander in my past 🙂

I’m glad its only the original version that counts.

Because yesterday iwould have whamageddoned myself when i was singing away in the workshop.

Bizarrely, since being knocked out on December 2nd or something I don’t think I have heard it since.

checked out last night at a christmas market.. how I really hate last christmas

Thought I was in for an easy ride this year as I was abroad for the first half of December. Landed yesterday morning, nipped into the supermarket on the way home to get a pint of milk and guess what was wafting out of the PA system. Out.

Oops, self inflicted trip to Whamhalla, listening to Xmas Hits on Freeview ch71 while web browsing and suddenly realised what had happened just before the song ended! 😆

Still in, although almost got taken out yesterday. Was a speeded up, dancier mix, so technically doesn’t count. Feels like winning on a technicality, mind you. I’m the last one in our family still ‘in’.

GF put a christmas selection on while doing breakfast on sunday. Wham… And i’m out.

First time in at least a decade. Think i’ve made it to Christmas every year since it started.

Daughter got Whambushed on TikTok yesterday. My lad is still in though.

I got whamaggedoned this morning on the nursery run

I was out on Saturday morning. I made it to the 21st last year before the GF sabotaged me, this year my mate inadvertently got me by putting the radio on in his van

Avoid BBC lunchtime news, report coming up about the 40th “reunion”.

out.  survived all the christmas drinks, trips into town, supermarkets etc and taken out unexpectedly thanks to my lad.

he’s actually stuffed me for the 2nd year on the trot.  last year spitefully playing it on his phone cos he knew i didnt want to hear it.

this year, (innocently) recommended that we watch the new netflix film ‘carry-on’, which sadly contains a clip of LC being played in the background.  double whammy, of course im now out, but the films sh1t too.

so…… if youre still in, dont watch carry-on, and if you dont want to watch a sh1t film, dont watch carry-on.

EDIT:

just seen this at the top of the page, why oh why did i not pay attention?

That’s it, Ahm oot. 2 weeks on the trot at the climbing wall was always going to be a risky business, but they got about 20 of us last night around 21:30 as the night was coming to an end.
I sometimes play a variation on The Rules, which allows me to hear the intro, and so long as I take myself away to sanctuary before the singing starts, I consider it a pyrrhic victory; no such luck last night, I was still tied-in and being lowered off the last route. There were two saving graces. One was that the next track was The Pogues & Kirsty McColl, which I personally very much like. And the other was that my mate Mick got Whammed at the same time, even though he’d only heard of the game about 2 days ago.

Just been bastard Whamed by The Great British Seeing Christmas Special!

I only put it on for back ground noise, I’ve never watched a bloody episode in my life!!

So close…

Last Christmas is the only Christmas song I’ve not heard so far this year, and that started with Slade on 1st December.

Film was called “Carry On” with Tarun Egerton, if you want to avoid…

I immediately thought of someone complaining on this thread when I heard that come on. Probably the highlight of the film, if I’m being honest.

Still running due to emulating Butch Cassidy and Sundance by hiding in Patagonia.

No I am not going to Bolivia

Got Whammed at my cardiac rehab fitness class FFS – didn’t think I’d hear that wishy washy **** somewhere I’m supposed to be exercising.

I was out early at the school party 2 weeks ago.

The Great British Seeing Christmas Special!

Just realised this makes no sense what so ever, should be great british sewing bee…..

made it all the way to the 18th without really trying.
god knows how, i can hear the shop at work form my desk (down in the atrium) and they are always playing crap.

They just got me, 6 music news. I managed to get to Christmas Eve last year so I’m gutted!! Smiley emoji

Sara Cox did it again, straight in no warning, same as last year.

It’s Christmas No 1 for second year running !

Still in. Longest survival time ever.

Despite skirting with oblivion by playing it in my band at our Xmas gig and DJing the kids bike club Xmas party – used the Glee cast version for that to specifically avoid taking myself or anyone out. Of course nobody had a clue what I was talking about.
Worried about the shopping centre trip tomorrow. Feel like I’m going over the top sir. I’ll see you all in Whamhalla!

They just got me, 6 music news

Had the news report on 6 come on twice yesterday about it being the Christmas number 1.

Leapt at the radio and switched it off before they could play a clip.

6 is usually my safe space! 🙂

@kayak23, unfortunately I was cooking and had my hands full. I knew what was coming but helpless to stop it.

I feel we should recreate these scenes in slow motion. With close ups of the hero’s face just as realisation hits.

Got tanned last night by my son; his band played it at the local Xmas party night .   I’ll let him off, they were great.

Not sure that counts? It has to actually be Wham, Shirley?

By all weighs and measured Joelowden is still in.

As am I! Christmas shop shopped.

Guitars to build in the workshop. Spotify only.

I reckon i am safe.

I’ll take that !!!!

Just got Whammed!  It was in the background at half time in a rugby game I was listening to
