Genie Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 52 minutes ago, Xela said: "Whamageddon" **** off. Quote Northampton Town's DJ has been forced to apologise after playing Wham's festive hit 'Last Christmas' at a recent match. Fans have fumed that by doing so, thousands will have lost the holiday game 'Whamaggedon' - where people try to avoid the song for as long as possible. Once the song is heard, that person is eliminated - hence the frustration of the 7,215 people at the Sixfields Stadium on December 2nd attending their clash with Portsmouth. 'I gave it a spin, thinking it would be quite funny to wipe out 7,000 people who couldn't avoid it, but clearly it isn't funny. It seems that some people were genuinely angry.

Genie Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Got some family popping round ours tonight for a take-away. Mother and father in law coming around at 5:30, cool. Sister in law doesn’t finish work till 6:30, in Lichfield. Then drive home, get changed, then her, the partner and son will come to ours. It’ll probably be 9pm before we can eat. And I’m going out to collect it so I can’t even have a few beers whilst I wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it one of those situations where the sis in law could just come in after work but she just has to get changed and do many unnecessary things rather than just come over for some food and get back home?

HallGreenVillan Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 After watching one series of 'The Wire' my standard response to questions where I could answer in the affirmative was this, 'True Dat', I'm a 53 yr old white male, one of my brothers questioned my choice of response, I explained about the wire, still don't think he's watched it yet, hey ho 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just grateful the whole pressure of the next great advert bullshit is over. They probably are too. The expectation must have been unbearable. They've made a couple of shit ones now. The John Lewis Christmas advert "thing" is over now thank God. The whole thing had become intolerable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted December 15, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 15, 2023 I haven’t actually seen the John Lewis ad on tv, which I suppose lends credence to Sidcow’s assertion that it is indeed no longer an event. But what’s slightly odd is I think there’s another current advert which I have seen that features a singing Venus flytrap (or similar plant). It’s definitely not John Lewis as I’ve just searched that and it’s definitely something else. It’s a jaunty piano song, but I don’t what the song is either... Argh…not knowing what this other advert is for is going to annoy me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't really advertise john Lewis in any way that I can see, but I love the advert. Sounds like Matt Berry singing too, though I doubt it is.
