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?

Doing well on not being Whammed but thanks to @neddle I've just lost the game!!!!

FourFuxxakes · 19/12/2018 07:56

I was nearly whammed yesterday afternoon in Tesco's but realised it was a cover version so I'm still in the game!

I love the idea of Whamhalla, and I like to think that's where George is now, looking down and enjoying all this. In my mind, Whamhalla is like Last Christmas in the winter, and Club Tropicana in the summer. Because isn't that what everyone would want in the afterlife??

It's dd's (and her friends) favourite song at the moment so I'm getting "Wham'ed" daily just about GrinXmas ShockXmas Hmm

DoctorTwo · 19/12/2018 08:52

This is the longest I've gone ithout hearing it, I was expecting to hear it in the shopping centre at the weekend but got out safely. :o

neddle · 19/12/2018 09:44

@AnarchyKitty and now I’ve lost the game again!

We could do this for quite some time Grin

ApolloandDaphne · 19/12/2018 11:12

I have heard almost no Christmas songs at all. I haven't been to any shopping centres and i don't listen to the radio. I guess the supermarket might play it but i go there as little as possible and pay no attention to any music playing. This strategy is working for me!

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 19/12/2018 12:30

I'm still in, just, but it does feel like it's getting harder!

AnarchyKitty · 19/12/2018 13:10

Christmas Eve.

Still in. Grin

Had a little wobble earlier with neighbour's loud Xmas music, but in the end Wham did not feature.

PerkingFaintly · 24/12/2018 22:04

I've Hark the Heralded more times than I can count, though.

HoneysuckIejasmine · 24/12/2018 22:04

I'm still in! Woo!

Sitranced · 24/12/2018 22:08

I got whammed at the hairdresser's on Saturday. Sad

DoctorTwo · 24/12/2018 23:14

Despite my expectation I'm still in with only 45 minutes to go until it doesn't matter till next December. Wish me luck. :o

PerkingFaintly · 25/12/2018 00:01

Congratulations all who made it! WineXmas Grin

As JockMcGrath said, why deprive ourselves?

Christmas is here! Knock yersel' out!

I lost on Saturday. DH was playing Christmas tunes at home and it came on.

AnarchyKitty · 25/12/2018 10:40

Figgygal · 25/12/2018 10:42

I whammed myself on the 1st December
It was the first xmas song I listened to this year

BertieBotts · 25/12/2018 10:46

IndigoSpritz · 25/12/2018 13:19

Paul Gambaccini played Last Christmas on R2 Pick of The Pops on Saturday.

amusedbush · 25/12/2018 13:23

I played last year and got to the 18th or something. This year I knocked myself out on the 2nd because it’s my favourite Christmas song Grin
