Dead Men Walking

Well Ladies and Gents

I feel I have to remind you that Whamagedon is live in 1 day time!!!!

So start preparing,  you still have time to get that bargain basement price on some Noise canceling Can in Black Friday, de tune every radio in the house, remove it from the guilty pleasures' playlist and cancel you family membership to google music, Spotify, YouTube.  Remove the aerial from the car and claim its not working due to a huge EMP strike from a giant solar flair from the sun has hit the planet and will only get worse as we reach the winter equinox.   Be prepared to host all video conferences so you have control of the mute others button.

I tell you Ladies and Gents it may sound like this year will be easier due to the situation we are all in but let me warn you, Look in to to my eye and believe me this thing is unstoppable it can leak in from you neighbors too!!!!

Sign up below if you are going to play.

QuoteTHE SECOND RULE

THE GAME STARTS ON DECEMBER 1ST, AND ENDS AT MIDNIGHT ON DECEMBER 24TH.

I don't rate my chances highly at all, got the dodgy local radio on at work just at the wrong time, we're already a few weeks into the Christmas tunes.

Working from home, so unless the mrs puts it on, I’m hoping to get quite far with it this year(just watch, it’ll be on the radio tomorrow morning 🙈)

I was on Holiday in Cornwall over Xmas last year which involved plenty of sitting about in beach side coffee shops listening to Pirate Radio Yarr. How I managed to survive I have no idea. Regardless this year I went to Cornwall in October so as to avoid any Xmas disasters. That means I can spend the next month hiding in the attic with cotton wool in my ears. Genius!

as i pretty much breezed it last year being in a Muslim country, i am less optimistic this year, 2 weeks iso after flying back to the uk after 272 days and sky has xmas shite everywhere, if i make it past the 1st week ill be amazed

A new challenger has entered the arena :boxing:

I will challenge the wfh gods and avoid at all costs, consider me enlisted.

I'm in and feeling pretty confident this year :boxing:

Quote from: OldBloke;443726I'm in and feeling pretty confident this year :boxing:

True but I think you might be taking it a bit too seriously?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]5610[/ATTACH]

It was on the radio today as I came back from lunch, given that they repeat everything they play everyday I can only hope they play it after I've left, I could well be the 1st to go.

Smilo that was his setup last year, this year oldie has got some distractions in place

[ATTACH=CONFIG]5611[/ATTACH]

Looks like the sort of place I hide out on horde night in 7 Days to Die .

Sulks has Photoshop skillz :lmfao:

how about this?

Quote from: Penfold;443730Looks like the sort of place I hide out on horde night in 7 Days to Die .

This! :lmfao:

Also, count me in. The bad thing is, the misses wants to have the Christmas radiostation on all the time so I think I have the same amount of surviving as surviving in 7D2D. :taz::bye2:

1/12/20, 10.19am, played on gem radio, no warning, in the mix with other "classics".

Bring it on !!

Quote from: RizZy;4437391/12/20, 10.19am, played on gem radio, no warning, in the mix with other "classics".

Oh dude, that's just sad.

At approximately 1615hrs today, I lost my fight against Wham! They were waiting for me as I left work today.

I turned on my engine, ready to leave. Heart radio buzzed to life, and without warning they struck me down.

By the time I had noticed what was happening, it was already way too late.

RizZy, I hope you've got a drink waiting for me for when I greet you at whamhalla:'(

There we were yesterday, driving around to get the lovely new addition from Grolsch, the Grolsch Finale 2020 around 18:00 they dropped it on the radio:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]5614[/ATTACH]
--> DuVeL got taken out, atleast hopefully a nice beer to end the year with but unfortunaly not as a winner from Whammageddon...

Wow the halls of Whamhalla are filling quickly 1 a day atm!!  Stay frosty and away from radios people!!!

Hook me up, I'm pure prime playlists, unless the BBC news plays it I'm going the distance!!

Add me please, I'm thinking a fe could last the distance this time, given there are no shopping centres open.

You could add a bonus round, go to a 24 hour shopping centre on Christmas Eve and see how many times it plays! Medal for the winner.

Sign me up buttercup!

same as u nuka , but i quickly turned off the car radio within the 1st second of the intro, does that count as dodging the bullet?

Quote from: Sneakytiger;443777same as u nuka , but i quickly turned off the car radio within the 1st second of the intro, does that count as dodging the bullet?

I will bow to BT's discretion on this but rule 1 states

THE FIRST RULE

THE OBJECTIVE IS TO GO AS LONG AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT HEARING WHAM'S CHRISTMAS CLASSIC; "LAST CHRISTMAS".


I suspect as you heard it the intro and recognized it, that rule apples, but again its up to BT

Quote from: Sneakytiger;443777same as u nuka , but i quickly turned off the car radio within the 1st second of the intro, does that count as dodging the bullet?

Wham is relentless and leaves no witnesses.

I do however cite rule 4:

"THE FOURTH RULE

YOU'RE OUT AS SOON AS YOU RECOGNISE THE SONG."

Alas Sneaky as you recognised it and turned it off due to it means you are in the drinking hall of Whamhalla with our fallen brothers.

18.28 Dartford Tunnel.
I even heard the broadcaster say 'after the break, Last Christmas' but I thought I'd be safe halfway under the Thames like in the days of good ol' FM. Damn DAB Radio and its relays. :ranting2:

The whole episode kinda reminded me of this tbh.

[video=youtube;oj4XdHR6WVI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj4XdHR6WVI[/video]

Can we click that Pen?

Yup quite apt

Today I laugh in the face of danger, I sail close the wind, I trust my farts, I drink tea knowing I have long meetings. I listen to Christmas on Classic FM (yes I'm old). You shall not take me! I will live this life on the edge of danger!

For he will be know as the Benny AntiWhammer from now on!!!  you fallen brothers will drink to you in the hallow halls of Whamhalla

[ATTACH=CONFIG]5616[/ATTACH]

Faint heart never won fair maiden, risk it my brothers!

Dammit! Knew Xmas shopping was risky...another one out here

and ..... I'm out :sad: The Mrs put the radio on and  BOOM! there it was :angry:

Teach me to feel smug about this year's event.

2 in one day our founder and our other founder, we had a 5 day streak!!  Drink your fill brothers

So at 1157 this morning  in smyths toy store i fell.....I had just said to the Mrs after hearing Jackson  5 Xmas song that I'm getting whammed  in here and I did

Bad luck mate, I was in tesco and then my gf car who has the radio tuned to Xmas songs.  And I still lived ont know how but I am the enjoying the risk as Benny has advised.

I am a lucky lucky man, My shield maiden has twice today turned off the radio when she has heard it and I was in the house.

Alas, I needed a post lockdown haircut.

I walked in, spotted the santa hats and tinsel, and knew I danced with death.

By the time the first lock hit the floor, I had been whammed.

A swift end. My honour decimated, along with my curls.

Whamhalla awaits.

10 minutes on the ferry and 3 doors into the cabin area and the ding bell part of the song echoes into my unprepared ears as faint as can be. Gone.

A high risk trip to grab the last few presents did not end well. A clean headshot from a speaker on the roof of a burger van :doh: I'm out

Rough day, so many good men lost.

Soldier on gents

I might just win this.

A USED soap on a rope í ½í¸,í ½í¸,

Man down. Mutha trucker. Flicking channels, didn't even stop, caught by a couple of bars on league of their own.
I thought it may have been a flesh wound but it got an artery.

I am in too much pain to update the loss of so many bothers, sister and Benny.  I shall commit there names to the wall when I have gained some composure

Quote from: Benny;444040its mine!

Apparently not.

Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, I was calling guy out by complacency. To you remaining few, godspeed, mute the tv when surfing.

Quote from: smilodon;444046Apparently not.

is Smilo a time traveler in disguise, he knew 8 hours before!!

three and a half hours after I think :)

Quote from: smilodon;444056three and a half hours after I think :)

Our brothers and sister are now 5 days in to the halls of Whamhalla with our fallen comrades.

4 of us left in the most dangerous time, keep a keen eye and your wits about you, take lesson from our fallen team.

Good luck may Odin's album collection keep you safe this night!!!

Sadly, brother and sisters, you must go on without me. I failed my perception check clearly as the song sneaked up on me and took me out. Clearly, I need to where both headphone at work. Save me a drink fallen ones I am coming up and I will bring the board games and dice games!!!

Here lies the body of BrotherTobious who absently mindly had the radio on when decorating the Xmas cake.  Was hit by a advert using the music.  But this was not enough for Mr Micheal they played it in full after the add break so dead body was hit again full force.

My brothers and sister mines a pint will see you soon in the halls Whamhalla.  Anyone seen my lift?

So who's left? :)

Smilo and Emmeke are the only to soldiers left.

:clap::clap::toast:

We're not there yet folks.

Wow Three of our community made it through, your names will go down in history.  And may bring more trouble for you next year.

Thanks to all that played and joined in.
