Vuvuzelas!!!

[MarillionFan]

What a bloody noise they make? 10 minutes playing with the volume, I almost phoned Virgin up to complain of the background noise until I realised what it was!

It's like a stadium full of angry wasps!

I actually found it difficult to watch the France match and actually turned over.

England match is going to be a nightmare. Not going to hear any Great Escape or British fans, just those bloody vuvuzelas!

They are headache inducingly annoying aren't they. We can only hope that once the saffers are knocked out the locals will lose a bit of enthusiasm and leave them at home. Although I fear it only takes a few to annoy the tulip out of a global TV audience of millions.

Could I just say "Get a 'kin life!!!"

For F'ks sake - we inflict 100s of morons "chanting" 'Barmy Army... Barmy Army...' for weeks on end...... and you complain about a few geysers blowing their horns!!

In portugal last week they had a Free Picnic with a concert and all sorts - plus the Portugese national team came along for a "formal" send off...... Thousands of Vuvuzelas (or whatever the Portugese name for them is).... great atmosphere...... whats your problem?!?!

You didn't watch it did you?

To be fair the noise was so bad the last time I heard something like it was when I attempted to make the wife a cheap vibrator with a cigar tube and some angry bees in it.

Unbearable!

You are correct - I didn't watch it......... and to be honest I did try to re-tune the radio during the SA match cos there was quite a loud buzzing........ bloody Medium Wave I cursed......

[Zippy]

You should have seen the SA/Mexico match. It didn't bother me very much as yoi can tune the vuvuzelas out ater a while but Mr Z was up to 4 paracetamols by the end of the match. Cracking SA goal though.

I've just ordered two off Amazon for our friends' kids. Heh heh! Get 'em back for that awful noisy car thing they bought our son a few years ago.

I liked it, but after 30 games I may have changed my mind.

On the other hand, they drown out the crowd sound which personally I find equally drone-like.

If you don't like the way people make noises at football matches over there, then don't watch them. Sorted.

It's a similar sound to watching the Grand Prix.
