GTPlanet vs. Wham! - Round 3 (Endorsed by George Michael!*)

[Anathema]

Still alive.

 

[taz]

Not joining this was probably a good thing for me, because my boss asked me to find Christmas music to play at work. So I found a playlist on youtube and it just happened to have that song in it.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Only found out about this after the sign-up date, so I've been playing along unofficially. Got Whammed by Terry Wogan this morning

 

[Rykon Zero]

Then mark me off on the fifteenth. I had a good run guys!

*The lord is my shepar-*

 

[Jimlaad43]

Gone.

Asleep in the car, and wake up to hear it playing on a Christmas radio station.

Sadface.

 

[tronrider345]

I'm still aliveee!

 

[dice1998]

Still alive somehow after attempting to wham someone else out

 

[Skython]

Well, in half a month (almost) all can relax knowing that they will be safe from being Whammed. Christmas will be a difficult time to pass for all, but only the bravest, daring, most sneakiest of crazy GTP soldiers will make it through the academy's final rough stages, good luck Whammers.

 

[Pezzarinho17]

Moving to DEFCON 2

I fear that I know the date I will fall however - Saturday 15th December. Time unknown.

WHAMMED! Date as predicted, 10:53am... And again many times after throughout the day. Thanks to work for that.

Now on a self mission to see if I can avoid the song outside of work where I have no control over it!

 

[Joel]

Got whammed last night by the radio

 

[Emptyone]

Yeah I lost today.

After over a month, I thought I was doing quite well, avoiding radio and tv as much as possible. However, I can't avoid my 6th form block, which has had the bright idea of playing Christmas tunes in the Bistro for the last week.

Great ....

I may have punched a door a bit in anger

 

[Yrkshrpudding]

Survived the work Christmas party and my Christmas shopping expedition.
Doing better than I expected, though these will undoubtedly prove to be famous last words...

 

[NissanSkylineN1]

You forgot my name on the original list...

 

[MSTER232]

Much more people are becoming Victims of Wham!

 

[Emptyone]

It's picking up toward Christmas, festive friends and family are a nuisance

 

[SVX]

Well, I'm out. For real this time.

It all happened last night. Last night I went to a Year 8's leaver's dinner/formal. Our DJ, a teacher at our school, put some music on while we were waiting for our food. The thing is, it was all Christmas themed, which is okay, until I realized "Last Christmas" is a Christmas song.

I disregarded it and carried on, until...

♪ "Last Christmas, I gave you my heart..." ♪

 

[Monatsende]

A little off topic but this years radio "Whammer" is:
♪ Do they know it`s Christmas time ♪ by Band Aid

Heard that song at least 5 to 6 times within the last week.

 

[niky]

Been Whammed thrice, already. And once on purpose.

That song is just as bad (maybe worse) than Last Christmas. It's also right up there with McCartney's terrible Wonderful Christmas Time.

 

[Wiegert]

I don't get it. I've been totally careless when it comes to protecting my self from getting Whammed, yet I've not heard it once this month, if GT-R's video didn't count.

 

[photonrider]

See? This is what happens. Those of you who have been long enough at this Forum know that niky is one of the most sensible guys around - articulate, intelligent, etc, etc, (wouldn't be a Forum Moderator if he wasn't, right?). But what happens after he gets Whammed? Starts to behave like a junkie. Now he's doing it to himself. Prime example of how even the best of us get sucked into that Wham-induced state. Oh! yeah. Just keep an eye on him - he'll be in here every day know bragging about how deliciously he's Whamming himself.
Even outside the toilet.

That song is just as bad (maybe worse) than Last Christmas. It's also right up there with McCartney's terrible Wonderful Christmas Time.

Paul's Wonderful Christmas Time is definitely up there in Whamland. He should have let it be.

I don't get it. I've been totally careless when it comes to protecting my self from getting Whammed, yet I've not heard it once this month, if GT-R's video didn't count.

GT-R's video counts. You can't dance with the devil and not get burned. Too bad, though, because that was not your fault at all - but it will teach you not to trust anyone when it comes to Whamming. Once you have Wham in the blood . . . urgh. And GT-R says he hasn't been Whammed this year - but methinks he's still suffering from the effects of being Whammed last year. Once you go dark - there's no coming back.

I'm off to indulge in the most dangerous sport now - shopping in malls during Christmas time. Keep your fingers crossed, guys. I may never get back. Getting Whammed will turn me into a master baiter - and no one will be safe.

 

[parksideu14]

Whammed again. 5th time I think.
Teacher put the 15 greatest Christmas songs on my maths lesson and there it was Wham! at 15.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

He should have let it be.

Urgh...

 

[LancerEvo7]

Getting Whammed will turn me into a master baiter...

Read this phrase out loud.

It was a cover. I checked

You forgot my name on the original list...

• If you have posted before December 1st, then you'll be in the Original Participants list. I won't add you if you post afterwards, but I'll add you to the Whammed user log.

 

[porthillking]

Still going strong, only a week until Christmas!

 

[MSTER232]

Nearly been Whammed! Twice this week, lucky both of them were covers. Help, I need to survive until Christmas Day !

 

[F1 fan]

I'm still in this. I'm hoping to survive for a second year in a row. I've survived several Christmas shopping trips and fortunately, have only once been subjected to a cover of "last christmas". No idea who the cover was performed by but as it was clearly a female singer, I'm still in the game.

Having said that, I am going out to Shinjuku with the wife today and I do have a work christmas party coming up on the 22nd.

 

[Katiegan]

I survived 48 days before I was subjected to the terrible sound of Last Christmas. Whammed! whilst watching Keith Lemon's reality show Lemon La Vida Loca.

I highly suggest avoiding all Christmas specials of all shows!

 

[Wiegert]

If Daniel says it's a cover then I have reason to believe him. Unless he just wants me to remain un-Whammed for some bizarre reason, which I doubt very much.

Another thing that's been on my mind; members who think they've been whammed after the song begins, but don't listen to it all the way through. What if they were actually listening to a convincing cover, or similar to the one Daniel claims GT-R used in that infamous video? I know it's not possible to know for sure now, but it's still on my mind.

I highly suggest avoiding all Christmas specials of all shows, and any show with Keith Lemon.

Missed a key tidbit of advice there.
