The Deathlist Christmas Special!

[YoungWillz 21,057]

Still in, shitting bricks at the Hit List Christmas Special, but Wham absent from the final list of songs.

 

Got Mariah when I was at the shops earlier.

I was really close on Thursday night at the pool club.

 

Thought I was done but it was the George Michael section of Do they know it's xmas..and it was his voice that had triggered me, mind I'd also had a couple by then.

The whole pool team wanted to know why I was swearing the place up like a trooper (well more than I normally do). Had to explain, and that I apparently can't tell one bag of xmas shite from another at the first few notes after 2 pints of lager.

I was in Home Bargains, Lidl, and Tesco yesterday, and don't recall hearing any Christmas music.

Perhaps I've tuned it out.

[En Passant 3,741]

To my knowledge neither Lidl nor Aldi have background muzak, none of the ones I've ever been to does. Tesco does.

Home Bargains I wouldn't know, I do have some standards.

I don't.

 

On reflection, it wasn't Home Bargains, it was B&M. 

Now you mention it, Home Bargains does have music.  I remember being in there during the first Covid lockdown and "Don't Stand So Close To Me" came on.

Probably on a continuous loop and with good reason. (beyond Covid that is)

 

Ok, I'm kidding but I've only been in either of those only once or twice whilst I'm happy as Larry in Aldi's or Lidl. Not really sure why if I'm honest. Marketing probably.

So, heard discussion of this on radio yesterday, tbh - never saw it when it came out in 2003, mainly because it was pulled after 800 complaints flooded in within a few days, Mr Kipling Christmas ad:

Yeah, but that was central to loads of the complaints.

I would have thought that would have quelled any perceived hint of blasphemy.

B&M and Home Bargains aren't really comparable with Aldi/Lidl;  more akin to Wilko.  They do sell groceries, but mainly general household goods.  Toys, toiletries, kitchenware, cleaning stuff, confectionery, stationery, general hardware, all sorts.  A bit like Woolworths used to be.

Yeah, sort of knew, was just having a pop for having a pop's sake about their rather downmarket image. I buy all my sink plungers at John Lewis of course.

I've been accused on here of being posh after mentioning shopping in Waitrose.   I shop anywhere that might have what I want, and is convenient.

Oh I lost last week btw. I decided to switch radio stations on my mum's car from Radio4 to Magic. Forgetting that they play Christmas music 24/7 in December and the first track I heard was Wham.

It's a load of shite now. 

[En Passant 3,741]

Fucketty fucketty fuck. Done. Got. Stuffed. And Basted with 3 days to go.

Pool night again, away in some crappy harvester eatery with delusions of still being a pub and yes it has xmas muzak and yes it had to play feckin Wham.

Arseholes, so damn close 1st - 22nd.

 

 

 

Bollocks.

[Toast 16,144]

Still unscathed. 

And to my surprise, heard this in Sainsburys.  One of my favourite Christmas misery songs, and a suitably funereal video for the Deathlist forum.

[YoungWillz 21,057]

Off to the local tonight for karaoke.

 

Wombling Merry Christmas it is.

LadBaby are Christmas No.1 again and I’m honestly beginning to think nuclear devastation might be a good thing.
 

Fuck this population of thick cunts.

[TQR 14,400]

Wham off of -ageddon got No.2.

Sidemen’s valiant effort Christmas Drilling was No.3.

Mariah was No.4.

Fuck The Tories got to No.7 which, when you consider the media, the BBC and the Official Charts refused to give them the time of day, is pretty remarkable. That’s 3 years in a row The Kunts have been well in the fight.
