Last couple of years, I've been out by now, but am still in!

That doesn't count. It has to be the original version. Anything other than that doesn't count.

You need to read the rules, it seems! Xmas Grin

I kept the radio off on the way to the post office, and was speculating how long I could stay in (Dec 3rd last year) and caught myself humming. I came on now to ask for clarification.

Radio 2 on just now in the office - managed to avoid it so far. But I expect to be out by the end of the day!

Whichwhatnow · 02/12/2022 15:24

I am but then I work from home, haven't been in any shops in the last couple of days and don't listen to the radio. So not sure that's actually something to be proud of 😆

MakingNBaking · 02/12/2022 15:47

We're still in here, although we refer to it as being Whamslammed. Doing really well this year, last man standing gets a fiver.

BettyStogs · 02/12/2022 15:53

Still in, been doing Christmas shopping for the last 2 days so quite pleased I've managed to escape. Going to a Christmas party tonight though so fully expecting to be out later...

ChecoPerez · 02/12/2022 16:47

I'm out! On radio 2 now

Thorilicious · 03/12/2022 17:06

I'm still in despite DH sneakily changing the radio stations every couple of minutes to try and catch me out!

That's bad form, @Thorilicious!

I keep galloping round shops to get out before it plays. Really need to take my iPod to places!

PaniniHead · 03/12/2022 18:00

Still in!

CryCeratops · 03/12/2022 18:01

DH helpfully put it on this morning while he was making his breakfast 🙄

Cookerhood · 03/12/2022 18:04

I'm still in, got all the way last year.

Whatthetrolley · 03/12/2022 18:08

Official rules for those that need them!

I was out yesterday thanks to Radio 2 with help from my youngest 🤦‍♀️

Whamageddon, who is still in?
LynetteScavo · 03/12/2022 18:11

I was out this morning

Lulu1919 · 03/12/2022 18:40

Still in !!!

Cherryana · 03/12/2022 18:59

Still in!!

PlaitBilledDuckyPuss · 03/12/2022 19:11

Surprisingly still in, given that I have been listening to Absolute 80s on and off the last couple of days.

AnnaMagnani · 03/12/2022 19:12

Usually manage to get v close to Christmas - sticking to Radio 4 and podcasts, living in a tiny village so no hearing it in shops.

Last year I thought I'd go all the way but was out on about the 22nd.

Willmafrockfit · 03/12/2022 19:12

twice today!

NextPrimeMinister · 03/12/2022 19:17

Still in but I WFH and not neen in a shop yet, since 1st Dec. Exciting.

Mushroo · 03/12/2022 19:59

Somehow still in despite going to a Xmas light switch on! There was a guy doing an acoustic cover but it wasn’t on the main playlist.

I think it’s the only song I’ve not heard!

XenoBitch · 03/12/2022 19:59

Still in. Not lost for a few years now.

Doyathinkhesaurus · 03/12/2022 20:51

Still in!

ICriedAllTheWayToTheChipShop · 03/12/2022 21:53

I heard it this afternoon on Greatest Hits radio, but I only found out about Whamageddon this evening, from reading this thread. Am I still out?

BrandyandGinger · 03/12/2022 21:59

I didn't know there was such a thing as Whamageddon but now I really want to play. I'll probably only make it to Monday because the radio is always on at work.

MissCrowley · 04/12/2022 07:09

I got whammed at a Santa dash yesterday.. turned up and it was the first song blasting out. I was not amused. The run was fun though and I got a medal so that makes up for it somewhat Grin
