GTP vs. Wham - Last Year's Thread

[Epic B]

It's only in the UK, hence why so many members are being caught out. Do they even have a Carphone Warehouse in Canada?

I figured my Canadian residence had something to do with it. I've never even heard of Carphone Warehouse. Though I have heard of Keith Lemon.

I've never even heard of Carphone Warehouse.

Carphone Warehouse is a UK mobile phone retailer.

I hope to God this Keith Lemon ad isn't playing in cinemas even though I'm out of the game, mainly because I could go on a fairly long rant about how awful Keith Lemon is. However, there's only one more thing I hate more than him, and that's a certain 80's Christmas song performed by George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley.

If I see it, I'll probably walk out and go see another film. Bridge of Spies can wait.

I have a feeling that I will be whammed soon because my English teacher likes to play Christmas music the second after thanksgiving is done.

 

[Minty]

I suddenly have that weird feeling. That weird feeling you sometimes get when you feel your impending doom looming over the horizon. The radio station at work is going to be playing Christmas music between tomorrow and 2016. Fortunately, within a few days of starting the others will quickly tire of Christmas music and we can change the channel.

Needless to say, I'll be spending a lot of the slower points of the day outside enjoying freezing my ass off. Hopefully I can dodge the endless slew of bullets headed my way.

 

[RACECAR]

Well one huge positive about going to my Grandma's house for thanksgiving is that none of them are George Micheal Fans (or just don't feel the need to randomly start up Christmas Music) so as usual, nothing that provokes a lookout for wham activity.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Speaking of that Keith Lemon ad, I was whammed twice in about 15 minutes tonight, have a guess why, thats now four times in less than a week all because of that ****ing advert.....and now I cant get Last Christmas out of my head!

You could probably just walk back in 30 seconds later after it's finished.

Yeah, that's probably more sensible, actually...

Last year, I actually had an incident where my chemistry teacher wanted to play Christmas music while we worked on some independent assignment. I ran to the bathroom fearing Last Christmas would play, but she ended up not getting her phone to hook up properly.

It was 2 hours of hell today. I drove my dad's car to a family gathering and he was adamant about having the radio on. Somehow, I survived the battle to fight another day.

 

[NW48]

I don't even change my approach to doing things because of this game. My volume is always off anyway, and I still click on all the links.

And still haven't even come close to being Whammed, no one has en attempted yet.

 

[Pezzarinho17]

Whammed again by Keith tonight. Has Keith Lemon now become the whamingest person alive, or does that title still remain with Jordan?...

Jordan is in fact Keith Lemon.

 

[RACECAR]

Jordan is in fact Keith Lemon.

Its a strange strategy considering it only affects a certain region of people instead of basically everyone like last year.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

I had Thanksgiving with most of my dad's side of the family today. Mom was listening to Christmas music, but that quickly stopped before any damage could be done. The Detroit Lions (American Football) kept me safe because my brother was looking for a radio station that was playing the game and found one. My aunt later started playing music, but none of which happened to be Christmas Music. I currently live to see another day, but since Christmas music is being used in TV ads a lot now, I'm not as safe as I was prior to today and will not be for the rest of the competition.

 

[Kurei]

So I've discovered RaceDepartment has a Wham! thread of their own...

Now I feel like I have to watch my back.

These Keith Lemon ads remind me of how there were the Now That's What I Call Christmas ads last year that only seemed to affect certain regions that I am not in.

Oh gosh I'm so glad I'm not a member, otherwise the danger would sky rocket.

On one hand I think its great that other forums are doing it. On the other I'm a little bugged that there's no credit.

 

[photonrider]

I overhead two teenage Facebookers discussing Wham - one of them was saying they were whammed on FB. I tried to get the whole conversation but they noticed my beady eyes and moved away.

I wanted to follow them and get more info but that might have been a little . . . well . . ..

It's spreading. This will come back to haunt you, Daniel.

Still clean - dodging every whambush so far.
My condolences to those whose lives have now been tarnished for an entire year.

 

[AudiMan2011]

First Christmas song was played on the radio at work this morning. Luckily it was The Pogues and not Wham.

I nearly cacked myself then.

 

[m8h3r]

I've just been sat in the dentist, had to wait 20 minutes through christmas songs, one came on which I thought was Last Christmas, got lucky and it wasn't. Very lucky for it not to strike.

 

[Minty]

Just walked into work to hear Carol of the Bells.

The game begins.

 

[Fastcarguy]

That was way too close. I was watching the news and they said, "welcome George Michael" The remote was too far away to turn it off, but it turns out he was just singing "merry little Christmas"

Last Christmas, I

Suffered the fire of the Green Dragon.

This year I saved myself from tears, for now, by the skin of my teeth last night.

What I mean by that, is that after being whammed walking past a pub last Christmas Eve, I escaped a different pub last night just before the dreaded song was played.

It was a dark night, I was in a boozer with some of the people I'll be working with for the next few weeks. The company manager's usual boozer of choice when he's in this town. We had attended this very place many times last December & it was Wham! free.

All of a sudden, a Christmas song. It was Mariah Carey.
Inexplicably, there was a crescendissimo.
Why this new development? The landlady was the same as last year, has she lost her marbles since then? Or were the newer batstaff involved?

"🤬 this." I said, finishing my drink.
"Christmas tunes." I mouthed, as I walked out the door.

Around 5 minutes later, the group found me in the pub opposite.
Company manager says "there was no need for that". He was referring to the music, not my walkout.
"It was a mash-up or something & just after you left, bloody George Michael piped in with that other one so 🤬 it we've followed you over here."

One of the colleagues I was with is my ex Mrs. She was my current Mrs during GTP vs. Wham! 2014 & was one of the 3 people I told about this last year.
She didn't mention anything about whamming when this all took place last night, has she forgotten about our quest to keep our ears free from filthy dross?

What will the final weeks of the year have in store?
I no longer feel safe anywhere.

UPDATE:
Half watching The Simpsons on Channel 4 but not paying full attention, muted the adverts, saw Mr Lemon, it was a Carphone Warehouse advert.
I'm not going to make it, there'll no doubt be TV on during breaks at work & I can't possibly avoid all the pubs.
Outside of my 30 seconds of torture last year, I must have been really lucky.

 

[FoRiZon]

Big question: Is there any WHAM thread on PCars forums? XD

 

[Jimlaad43]

5 Lemon Whams, no other Whams. Lets see how long I can avoid everything else apart from Leigh Francis' annoying alter-ego.

 

[SeldonCrisis]

I must be lucky. Not one sniff so far. I am currently listening to zz top. In a pub.

I figured you took yourself out trying to Wham me early on.
