I walk into Duane Reade today to do a little (a lot) of shopping and what do I hear on the radio? Last Christmas. I wanted to curse so 🤬 loudly I probably would have been kicked out of the store and been banned for life.
Luckily, I held it in and as a reward for my enduring the song until the end, it was a cover.
Not today, George. Not today.

The women usually gets the "better half" in a divorce. Not sure if it has anything to do with the saying though.

Had the closest call yesterday. I was in lovely Urbino...
...and speakers strategically installed in the town square (all kitted up for the festivities) start blaring what else but Last Christmas?
Thankfully, the municipality is too cheap to afford the rights to the original version by Wham!... A cover it was. Phew. Despair was already gripping my heart when I realized the singer wasn't even remotedly in George Michael's impressive vocal ballpark.

I misplaced a hat a couple of weeks ago & on Friday I found out I'd left it at somebody's house. We arranged to go for a pint & he would bring it with him.
I set off sans chapeau, as I would be reunited with a favourite headpiece soon enough.
I arrived at the pub first. There was a group of people wearing Christmas jumpers, singing along loudly to the Christmas songs which were playing. I sat outside where it was fairly peaceful, if a little cold without a hat.
My mate was on his way, a 10 minute walk from his house, I was informed of every song by the drunken chorus gently carrying each one through the front door, windows and facade.
Mild disaster struck, text message: "I forgot your hat, been back for it, setting off again now."
Before much longer, the vociferous throng began to shout George's words as melodically as they could. When the doorman gracefully pulled his handle to grant entry for some new arrivals I heard a few notes of the recording.
Ear poison. My 4th dose since signing up if I've remembered the count accurately.
We went on to visit every pub in the area so it was ultimately worth it even though the scars of another whamming remain.
