I'm out to the Whamageddon version of a self-inflicted gunshot to the foot. The wean is super excited about Christmas, so I turned over to the music channel for them. 5 mins later, Wham come on and I was like "Oh yeah, forgot". 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did manage to last until Christmas day a couple of years ago, mainly by being a miserable git and not watching broadcast tele or listening to popular radio and being in control of the music at work. In the interests of full disclosure I heard six seconds of it the other day by clicking on a spoof BoJo clip concerning last years Christmas Party. I assume even six seconds is enough to eliminate me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,803 Posted December 24, 2021 I lost on the 19th in a karaoke bar. Some girls didn't find their song on the songlist so they had to choose a replacement, and they did this, sadly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allow me to draw your attention to Rule 3: So, seek professional legal advice on this, but if you’ve only heard the karaoke backing track and a couple of girls shrieking the lyrics into your face, you’re actually still in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

time 8,516 Posted December 24, 2021 If the few seconds I heard as described a couple of weeks ago weren't enough to knock me out, then I definitely got knocked out a few days later, as the wake I attended seemingly only had one Christmas CD which they played on repeat for about 4 hours.

Would have done better if people had been able to buy off of Amazon without the 'glitches' which, probably, put people off. I cannot believe that there are that many wank stains that would actually purchase anything that utter vomit act LadBaby makes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
