Had high hopes for this year but am out after my nephew purposefully got me this evening. I may withhold his Christmas presents! Who is still in?

I was safe for 3 years. I joined the halls of Whamhalla... in a mental health group!
At least I can go shopping now and not worry anymore.

Well, we can now without cringing inside. We can go into a supermarket and not have sweaty palms... wondering if this will be it.
I did cringe aloud when the song started in my MH group. No one knew what I was on about. I think that was more cringe than getting Whammed.

My boss emailed me a link to a report I needed to review, at 7am on 1st December. You can guess what it linked to.

I’m still in. Helped because I don’t generally listen to the radio. I’m surprised though because I was in town at the weekend including 2 hours in the hairdresser where they have the radio on so I’m surprised I haven’t heard it yet.

My understanding is that it doesn’t count if someone deliberately Whams you.

JustCakeInDrag · 07/12/2022 13:31

I'm out. I had an early hit in a shop at the end of November but apparently it doesn't start until 1 December. Academic anyway as a TikTok parody got me yesterday.

Last year I made it to the 21st december and then got caught by a piece on our local BBC news programme at 6.30pm about policing over christmas.
Last christmas was played in the background of the report.
Still fuming over that one. Couldn’t believe of all places it was the local BBC who got me and probably many other people. 😡

I was out on Sunday. The three last bars FFS. I always make it later than this. Bastards.

ChessieFL · 08/12/2022 05:45

I’m out now - played at school Christmas concert last night.

Scott Mills, Dec 1st, about the third song he played.

Bring back Steve Wright. He would NEVER have stooped so low....

Apparently the R2 switchboard lit up.... 😂

ThanksAntsThants · 10/12/2022 23:47

I’m still in.

tapdancingmum · 10/12/2022 23:49

Was thinking this yesterday after driving home listening to Scott Mills and not hearing it.

I'm still in 😀

I'm still in as I play by the Absolute radio rules. People intentionally whamming you and cover versions don't count.
