I think I've cracked this gif thingy.

Anyway, confession.

Looking at the last link, boombox, I suspected a feeble attempt at getting me to click a hoax link, so I checked the original on YouTube. Thinking about it I thought @RayL must be bluffing, he seriously can't expect me to fall for such an obvious ploy. Is it a bluff, a double bluff, a triple "He's thinking that so I'll do that" mentality. Totally suckered me because my insatiable curiosity got the better of me and I clicked it! There's a reason why I don't win super high rollers, I just gotta know wether he had it! This time you did. I bow down under yet another crushing defeat.

This victory is somewhat bitter sweet to me @GR1ZZL3R :Rofl:. So here's what happened:

While I was writing the reply I initially intended to say as a joke that I will hire a choire of children to sing it like a carol at your door but then I remembered that I have set the rules that re mastered versions don't count :) so the next idea poped up, the famous scene from "Say anything" with the Boombox and as I was imbeding it I figured, how funny would it be that instead of the song that is played in the movie to actually put MC's song. So I got to work:Rofl: and 10 minutes later what you saw is the result. But since I was trying to clickbait you, I figured if I put just just a generic title like Boombox serenade it would arouse suspicion, so I copied the title of the original video to make it even better. 

I hope you listened to all of it though :) I optimized the sound to reflect the distance between the camera view and the Boombox, and I have to admit, I laughed my head off while doing it. Got "looks" from colleagues as well as they were concentrated at work.

It was an awesome run, I wouldn't have thought that I'll get you with that one honestly. Cheers for being a good sport and I hope to finaly meet you sometime and have a good laugh over this.

It was fun while it lasted @RayL and I've only myself to blame for being so nosy. I honestly thought that while I was in Dublin you would have asked a Unibet colleague or even a poker friend to have it playing on their phone and searching me out, hitting the loudspeaker when they found me, so I was happy to survive 5 days longer than I thought I would. Back in my lair I assumed it would be easy to avoid but my spidey senses were too far dulled by my consumption of some of the small supply of Guinness I arranged to bring back with me,

while that song plays on a loop in the background to remind me of my folly in attempting to take on the master.

Well done and cheers.:Rofl:

@RayL

Well this is a easy done deal...

I am and have been in North Thailand going on day 65+++ now, gonna stay here until next year sometime.

So unless the natives start karaoke ( singasong) and on top learn to sing/ speak the letter "r"... 

I feel safe

Nothing is impossible, the impossible only take some time.

I was doing so well until now. Also, I never listen to the radio, hardly watch tv, wasn't planning on doing Christmas shopping or visiting Christmas markets, so considered myself a favourite to make it...

Until I was watching a political debate program just now, and they used the song in the backgound of a compilation about the news. WTF. Images of the gilets jaunes rioting in paris, George WH Bush's death, Putin shaking MBS's hand, etc, with THIS song in the background!? 

I lost :waterfall:
