To ask - Can You Be Whamageddoned in November?

[Jumell]

Ok so just after 4pm this afternoon it finally happened… I was Whamageddoned - in a coffee shop in the town centre.

I mean how rude !!!!!

However I think I heard Last Christmas first at the very end of November - 29th I think.

So tell me - I know I’ve been well and truly Whamageddoned now but is November too early ? Someone said November doesn’t count.

is he right?

It doesn't start until 1 December, ends at midnight on 24 December.

No, you cannot be out of Whamageddon in November

It starts on 1st December.

Why doesn't it count? I mean some people will start playing Christmas music in November, whereas no-one plays it from January to October, do they?

When you hear it, you hear it.

FABULOUS THANK YOU!! 🎄🎄

Because that's not the rule of the game! The rules are perfectly clear: it runs in December only, up to midnight on Christmas Eve.

I don't participate because last Christmas is one of tge Christmas songs I actually want to hear.

The rules!

Ah thank you !!

Blimey, I didn't realise there were actual rules and website for this. How daft. What's the point of it, except to get people posting about it on FB?

No point - just for fun!

It's fun. Of course you get some boring pieces sniffing about how it's immature and passé but boo them

No point, just fun - just like The Game (which you've just lost...)

How have I lost the game? I thought the only point was to try to avoid hearing Last Christmas for as long as possible. What did I do to lose the game?

I always forget about The Game 😂

To wind people up with no sense of fun! 🤷‍♀️

I only remember The Game when it's mentioned on here! 🤣

Is The Game a completely different thing to this Whamaggedon thing then? God, I am so confused. It's a bit like Mornington Crescent. I'm starting to wish I'd stayed out of this thread. 😂

Great, I’ve been sent to Whamhalla and lost the game on the same day today.

I was out on December 2nd which was great as I like the song and it meant I could watch the lovely documentary about it on iplayer.

I'll be watching as soon as I'm out. I was out on 1 Dec last year, so I'm doing better this year!

Double whammy!

I went out today - Smooth radio played a trailer for an upcoming interview with Andrew Ridgely and Last Christmas was tinkling in the background 😄

I think it's the first time in 2 years I haven't made it to the end.

aw that’s such a shame only 9 days to go !!

Oh you sod. I’ve been doing so well at The Game for about 3 years.
