Whamageddon 2024
Discussion
Got Whammed within 7 hours of December starting! Daughter is a competitive figure skater and has early morning training session at the ice rink, so we're there at 6.30 am on Sunday mornings. One of the other skaters was practising a routine for a Christmas show with Last Christmas as the music, so got done within hours on 1st December. Didn't stand a chance!

I guess it's inevitable if you're attending practice for a Christmas show involving popular Christmas music as the background. You should have used Whamageddon as the excuse for her having to walk to the ice rink and you being able to stay in bed until 10am!
Can't say I have heard of this, but I also carry my Google bud things with me everywhere this time of year, that way I just pop them in when going into a shop, even in the pub, as my hatred for Christmas music, 9 years now without listening to that awful Pogues song.
I know it seems bah humbug, but I am approaching 40, and for every single one of those years it has been the same 30+ songs that get played for a month solid f
king everywhere, and considering my music player reckons I had 1200 new songs and artists this year, I am just not keen on listening to the mainstream garbage anymore.
Mind you someone did put 3 Christmas tracks on in the pub the other day via the jukebox, after I heard the first one I went out for a smoke, pulled out my phone, as you can log in to the jukebox from an application, where I proceeded to put the only acceptable Christmas number 1 on, Iron Maiden - Bring your daughter to the slaughter, followed by 24 minutes of Pink Floyd and 26 minutes of Kraftwerk, for the record, it was one woman who wanted Christmas crap on, nobody else did, so we all collectively rammed the jukebox full of good music.
