That'll teach me to have the radio on a commercial station in the car. :doh:
Should have got one with a DAB radio so then I'd be listening to Planet Rock and there ain't no chance they'd ever play that!

QuotePVP?     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, mkay?

Day 6 and my fellow surviers are dropping like Dinos who haven't been fed in Ark.

The weekend is almost apon us the most dangerous time since whamageddon hit.

If you can hear this brothers and sisters stay safe and listen for silence for there is safety in silence.

Xmas shopping today. M&S, Argos, Next etc etc.

QuoteEven though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil...

Luckily we went to Costa for lunch and apparently they don't play sh*t music so I managed to get home in one piece. It was close though so from now on I'm sticking to online shopping!

Here lies the body of Cmdr BrotherTobious who was tragically killed by a sniper using the chorus of Last Christmas at a Christmas Fare.

The mission was dangerous but that didn't stop him.  

He leaves behind his lovely family.

I remain standing. There are benefits to spending most of your time in an A and E department. I only fear my return home. My parents love cheesy Christmas music. :crying:

Phoned my local Costa Coffee. Apparently their in store music is carefully curated by a 3rd party company called Moodmedia (https://moodmedia.co.uk/project/costa/) I called them up and was put through to Paul Hillyer who is the UK Creative Head. Interestingly he used to be the resident DJ at Cream Liverpool and a radio DJ for Capital Radio. Oddly he has a degree in Aerospace Engineering, bit random for a professional DJ. Anyway after a nice chat I got down to business.

I explained the Whamageddon problem and he was delighted to inform me that Last Christmas was neither licenced nor scheduled for broadcast in any UK Costa Coffee store this year.

Neither were covers by

Whigfield,
Billie Piper,
Jimmy Eat World,
Hilary Duff,
Ashley Tisdale,
Crazy Frog,
Cascada,
Alcazar,
Joe McElderry,
Ariana Grande,
Carly Rae Jepsen,
the Korean Pop group XYZ that released a Korean Language version Sa-Bai-Dee-Reu-Plow
Taylor Swift,
the JLS recording from 2008 X Factor
the 2010 cast from Glee charity single
The Puppini Sisters
Sara Niemietz
Gwen Stefani
Rita Orla
or most recently Fifth Harmony member Allie Brooke.

So I went and got myself a yummy double decaf Gingerbread and Wild Honey Moca Choca Frappa Latte Chino.


I might be taking all this far too seriously.

I got hit by the local Rotary Club sleigh outside the supermarket on Sunday.

They sit there with a petrol generator pumping exhaust fumes into the main entrance and playing crap on constant repeat.

So they disorientate you with the gas attack and then suddenly WHAM, they got me,
