Couple of hits yesterday - fair to say my
‘Training’ is not going well.

In the car on radio, in a restaurant. Disturbingly there was a busker doing a cover of it well.

Need to sharpen up before the big day or another early bath incoming….let’s hope yesterday was a wake up call🤣🤣🤣

Busker doesn’t count as it is original version only, but radio and restaurant are dangerous!

I got through last year on a technicality. I was 'whammed' half way through the month at a work do... but although it had George's vocals it was a remix with extra bloops and fleeps and ravey-davey handclaps etc so I survived on Rule 3. I still feel guilty about it though.

Last year I was caught out by our local Italian restaurant, who had decided to replace their usual soundtrack of tenors with some seasonal tunes.

Since then they've set up a Spotify account, and when we were there on Tuesday they're already on the 'Spotify Christmas Mix' - so I suspect my exit this year will be determined by a ruthless game of Spotify Roulette.

Or, we eat at home. :-)

Good point. I might hide in my sofa-cushion fort this year for the duration

I've managed it once but I was pretty much living like a hermit that year anyway

About This Thread

Maintained by Sigh
GOOGLE SHEET HERE:

docs.google.com

Sheet for 2024 is on the first tab; you update your own entry. As with previous years, we're also tracking the number of repeated 'hits' for those who are out before the end (if you want to).

Who's up for the challenge then? whamageddon.com

"The 1st Rule
The objective is to go as long as possible without hearing WHAM's Christmas classic; "Last Christmas".

The 2nd Rule
The game starts on December 1st, and finishes at the end of December 24th.
Use your local timezone, if you'd like.

The 3rd Rule
Only the original version applies.

The 4th Rule
You're out as soon as you recognise the song.

Player vs Player?
While we can't stop you from deliberately sending your friends to Whamhalla, the intention is that this is a survival game. Not a Battle Royale. So ... don't be a dick, okay?"
