Who else has been Wham'ed!?

Anyone else playing Whamagedon? For anyone who doesn't know, you have to get as close to Christmas Day as possible m, without hearing Wham Last Christmas. (covers are acceptable!)
I got wham'ed by someone who knew I was still in, so played it to me on his mobile....
Anyone still in?

PickAChew Shaun Keavney uses it as the bed for Christmas links on 6 music so you hear the intro all the time on the breakfast show Grin

But anyhoo, I whammed myself, probs before December even started. I now enjoy the warm fuzzy Christmassy hygge of Whamhalla - yes That's where you go, when you've been whammed peeps , why wouldn't you??? I lufs George Xmas Grin Xmas Grin Glitterball

I thought being on holiday would mean I was fairly safe until we got home, but no, sent to Whamhalla in a bar in Antigua last week!

PickAChew · 13/12/2018 13:10

Ds2 won't let me listen to the radio, gamerwidow so I'm safe, first thing!

CheeseTheDay · 13/12/2018 13:12

I'm still in.

DH got caught out on Tuesday, but the Now That's What I Call Christmas album advert, he is most annoyed.

ApolloandDaphne · 13/12/2018 13:12

I am still in the game. Only DH knows i am playing and he is currently 6000 miles away. I am at home alone and revising for exams so I should be good for a while yet. However when my DDs come home for Christmas i suspect i will lose badly!

LaurieFairyCake · 13/12/2018 14:09

I'm NOT in the game - got caught getting my nails done Grin

maggienolia · 13/12/2018 17:11

The morning DJ on radio Cambridgeshire got Whammed earlier this week.
He played it as his final record with the sign off of "I'm taking you all down with me"Grin

Redcrayons · 14/12/2018 20:07

I'm out, got caught in the garden centre picking the tree. It was actually Teen DS who first said 'no I've been wham'd'. Didn't even know he knew about it.

ikltownofboothlehem · 14/12/2018 20:12

I was doing so well then our boss played it at the Christmas team meeting.

LittleLlamaontheduskyroad · 14/12/2018 20:55

I was whammed on December 1st, haha. Last Christmas is track 2 on my car Christmas CD that my DC must listen to every.day.in.December.

GrumpyInsomniac · 14/12/2018 21:02

I made it to Boxing Day last year, and this year I'm still in: was worried I'd be caught out in the farm shop or the supermarket today, but they seemed to play every Christmas song but that.

Now wondering how I can manage Christmas shopping in Leeds on Sunday without getting caught.

CaptainsYuleLog · 14/12/2018 21:03

Still in. 😁

dontticklethetoad · 16/12/2018 11:08

I have just whammed myself via Spotify.

nobodyloveslava · 16/12/2018 11:14

I'm still in! Thanks to the lovely DJ on absolute yesterday who gave a pre-warning before she played it Grin

brizzledrizzle · 16/12/2018 11:16

I'm still in, and I haven't heard Merry xmas everybody yet

Gloopy · 16/12/2018 11:19

Got Wham'd yesterday at a bloody kids birthday party... Gutted...

ohwellinthatcasetryprunes · 16/12/2018 11:22

Oh drat. I've lost already then. Hear it a couple of weeks ago on the radio, and was watching TOTP2 the other day and it was on there as well.

MadameJosephine · 16/12/2018 11:22

I’m still in but that’s only because I’m off work sick wth a chest infection and have barely left the house Sad

6 year old ds had a lucky escape. He decided to go with his dad instead of with me into Boots, where it was blaring. Luckily, I'm already out...

I'm out. Was just telling the lady in the beauty salon doing my treatment & she said she didn't think it was on their Christmas mix. Two tracks later...

WiltedDaffs · 19/12/2018 00:14

I'm out. I was Wham'd (by my own children!) on the 9th.

llangennith · 19/12/2018 00:17

Last Christmas is one of my all time favourite songs and it's sad that I have to wait every year till Christmas to hear it.

ShiningSally · 19/12/2018 00:23

I'm out, was whamed on 11th at work.
