Yes bloody James O'Brien on LBC, who never ever plays music, played it! He must know that he caught out every single listener.

WitchSharkadder · 01/12/2021 22:49

I spoke too soon. Fucking ad on the TV Sad

twilightcafe · 01/12/2021 22:56

I made it to 8.33am. Serves me right for listening to Greatest Hits radio Grin

BeaMends · 01/12/2021 22:59

All good here, but then I listen to Classic FM in the car Grin Grin

That doesn’t count..l the game starts on 1st Dec. You’re still in!
Wtfdoipick · 01/12/2021 23:09

I'm still in, I'll survive until dd asks alexa to play Christmas songs and it'll be the first one up

WeAreTheHeroes · 01/12/2021 23:10

@FiveGs

What's Whamageddon?
You have to try to make it to Christmas Day without hearing Last Christmas by Wham.
gleegeek · 01/12/2021 23:11

Last week for me too😭 Does November count????

butteredbarmbrack · 01/12/2021 23:14

It was Sara Cox that got me too. 1 December and out already....

It's starts Dec 1st so you're fine!

I made it through today though I have some time off and 4 days out & about in shops & stuff. So bound to get caught.

gleegeek · 02/12/2021 00:21

Hooray! I'm still in thenGrin

Nope. That's Don't Let the Bells End. Which admittedly is basically a rip off of it but still.
SpindlesWinterWhorl · 02/12/2021 01:16

I'm still in but I got MariaCareyItis.

Rockbird · 02/12/2021 04:24

I heard it last week so I'm still in. Hurrah! Don't expect to survive much longer though. Like Covid it'll get us all Xmas Smile

BogRollBOGOF · 02/12/2021 09:15

I thought I was out on 24th October in a pub! Then I found out it starts 1st December. I didn't have much radio on yesterday.

minou123 · 02/12/2021 09:36

I'm still in. But I'm trying to avoid all radio.

Xiaoxiong · 02/12/2021 09:55

Not yet thank goodness! I'm listening to Bleak House on audible and made a conscious decision to put that on in the car rather than the radio, just in case.

At some point I will cave and go for a coffee and I'm sure I'll be caught then.

Cheeseontoastforlunch · 02/12/2021 09:58

I managed til 24th last year! It doesn’t count if you Wham someone else. I listen to absolute radio so I know I am safe! Sometimes they play it on 80s show but as whamagedon is promoted by the breakfast show they warn you!
Off to the shops now, wish me luck!

Gingernaut · 02/12/2021 10:01

@NoodieRoodie

Bloody Sara Cox caught me! Annoyingly I'd only switched over from 5 live for Jo Whiley at 7 and caught the last seconds of Sara and Wham!
Same here. 😢🤮😤
kindlyensure · 02/12/2021 10:03

Yup Sara Cox done for me yesterday evening as well. However I do have this yearly dilemma as it is my absolute best and most favourite Christmas Song (yes it is absolutely superior to Fairy Tale of New York, which we probs won't hear now anyway coz of the f word that cannot be named).

So I feel the pressure is off and I can enjoy warbling along to it all month. (And subject everyone else to the playing of it).

Gingernaut · 03/12/2021 14:43

And subject everyone else to the playing of it.

Last unofficial rule is 'Don't be a dick'

Don't make people listen to it or trick them with links (like a Christmas Rick-roll).

Dollywilde · 03/12/2021 14:45

Got caught by bloody Toby Tarrant on Radio X, of all places. Thought I was safe, they only play Oasis and Sam Fender Grin

MrsTerryPratchett · 03/12/2021 15:10

Some bastard at work tried this with me. Don't leave the name of the song in the link Stewart you FOOL. Bwhahahahaha.
