Man, that’s bad enough without Whamageddon. I feel your pain.
Alexa selected Radio 2 a few minutes ago against my will.
I'm out....
Thought I picked a playlist without it, apparently not. I'm officially out 🙁
Arrgh 1600 hrs today, bloody Heart FM.
Am I too late to join in?
Not heard it yet, even after trawling round the shops in Chester last week and eating in several pubs in the last 7 days, so feeling really lucky at the moment 😀

I’m out….
The time has come. The machines are rising up against us.
Still in....
Remarkably I have yet to hear the offending tune.

Alexa played no part in my downfall but I'm out at the same time. 🙁
Had to go in Matalan to collect an Amazon parcel... forgot headphones... what a scary few minutes. But.. still in!

So far so good. I doubt I’ll make it past the work Christmas do on Saturday though
Indeed. 11.53pm last night. On it came. No escape for me.
Still in despite 3 hours in a shopping centre yesterday. That is high risk gaming.
I played Whamageddon Roulette on a 100 mile round trip in the car today.
Got a flash drive with 145 different Christmas tracks of varying persuasions on it, including 2 different versions of that song. Put it on random and even had to suffer Band Aid 3 times but still only got the cover version of Last Christmas once.
Told you I was feeling lucky 😀
^^Bold. Very bold.^^
I gather it had the most momentary appearance on The Archers this evening. I left the kitchen to go and get a forgotten bag of shopping from the car at what must have been that moment!
I live to fight another day.
I love living on the edge...
“Yeah, the edge of Wuss Cliff.”
(disclaimer: I hope you get the cultural reference, if not then no offence was intended or implied)
As of 5.15 yesterday, I'm out.
The Monday ladies in our shop wouldn't really appreciate Trojan Christmas so I have to leave the radio on Shit Christmas fm. Tuned in and I'm OUT. So was the customer we were serving at the time. I told her to come back on Monday and moan.

Whoa.
I'm just about to go and listen to today's omnibus.
Nice to know someone's got my back.

Halfords Newport Road Cardiff, Saturday. I'm out.
The frame protection I bought was pretty good though so still a good trip.
Right, lived dangerously by going into "only 17 more sleeps" Asda yesterday, but survived. The only supermarket safe haven appears to be Waitrose, so the next 2 weeks could get expensive (financial doping required).
But... How the hell am I going to manage a trip to the shopping mall for some new strides? Can anyone recommend a high street men's outfitters without piped music?
OUT! Walked into the living room just as an advert for what appeared to be a Best of WHAM! (or sommat) came on and they had to play it in the track rundown before I even knew what was happening.
grrr!
Still in, even after spending 2 hours shopping yesterday!
Shot myself in the foot when I selected a Christmas hits playlist on spotify whilst doing the decorations saturday evening so I'm oot
Still in - was out and about yesterday but had headphones in 99% of the time. Have had works Christmas lunch today but a group of us who are all playing agreed on a gentlemen's truce and made sure it wasn't on the Spotify playlist in the office.
Hit by a double whammy whilst driving today, the 2 second warning just wasn't long enough...
...I'm out. Still, lasted a week.
Still in!
But maybe I’m cheating by not listening to the radio stations that play music, and not being in the shops.
Dammit!!!! Despite my (misguided) confidence, I get into the car this morning and wifey had left the radio on Smooth.
Well, you can guess the rest 🙁
8.50 this morning in Didsbury M&S (Ooooo get me).
Swore and walked out in disgust much to the bemusement of the lady stacking the fridge
I’m not even playing but I’ve not heard it yet despite shopping trips and Xmas meals.
everyone is playing, they just dont know it
Still in, much to my surprise! Helped by doing the Christmas shopping online!
So far it's going OK. I had a dentist appointment and was a little concerned about the cheesy radio station they put on, but I escaped unscathed. Back home to Radio 3 now.
I've been lucky so far...
Do cover versions count? Y'know, those really bad session groups so the retailer gets away without paying royalties...
Need clarity.
its just the original
Still in.
I've avoided all shops as best I can...thank you Amazon for your free deliveries and huge selection of suitable gifts 🙂
Still in
Spent ages in Boots this morning getting some xmas gifts, there was hideous music playing, but no Wham... Still in 🙂
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.
Well it’s on now out with 2 of my team and it’s just come on the radio.
wham - out
do they know it's christmas - out
not been #pogued yet, nor #mistletoandwined, nor #sladed
wifey had left the radio on Smooth.
Whamageddon or not, surely that's grounds for divorce? 😉
Just for the count, I'm still in
A day in That London's Famous London today.
Unscathed.
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 ****s' in work only seem to like Bing ****ing 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!
Damn you and your hold-music Plusnet.
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?
I have managed all this time! But I have just been whammed in the most ridiculous way ever!!! I set off a little quick from a junction in my van, the makita radio in the back obviously toppled over and hit the on switch and what was playing????
UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
Still in, struggling, and now the anxiety is kicking in.
Still in, despite MrsMC insisting on having Gem radio playing whenever she can
Oh for ****s sake! As if today couldn't get any worse I just lost Whamageddon. **** you 2019.
Best of luck to those still in xxx
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.
Brother in law has just sent us a Wham Last Christmas card, am I still in?
still in
Everytime I see this damn thread I hear the damn intro..! But only in my head 😀 still in
So far so good. Radio 4 in the car, haven't done any shopping yet, and all the music I've been involved with has been traditional stuff with the choir.....
Anyay, covers don't count so fill yer boots:
Record shop posts warning on Facebook. I know not to go in there... bleugh
And 10quid! for a 7”!? you’d have to be mental!
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.
Still standing.
Oh yeah.
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.
I'm still in - got through work christmas meal and our orifice christmas lunch
Only my daughters can stop me now
Out yesterday morning, Spanish radio played it as a bit of backing to a news item 🙁
Still in, doing better than last year, but, tomorrow I'm going drinking.....
I had told the family I was playing.
Cue middle_oab walking into a room with his phone playing... I've been whammed.
Put him up for adoption.
Work receptionist just took 3 of us out at once.
Don't worry Matt, it's in he rules, no deliberate sabotage.
Work receptionist just took 3 of us out at once.
Samantha?
Miraculously still in.
Sat in car, in traffic...skipped The Pogues and, before any music started, "Last.." came up on the stereo display...skipped very quickly!!
Bugger. Out. Sunday lunch in the local. Grr.
Been in 3 shops with christmas songs playing.. still not heard it.
Going into a café later... bit worried 😟
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.
Out. Walked in to Sainsbury's cafe with my parents and got Whamageddoned. Durnit....
