that noise is enough to incite violence!

lou33 · 12/06/2010 21:44

victoriascrumptious · 12/06/2010 21:45

victoriascrumptious · 12/06/2010 21:45

Some little shit on my street has one and keeps on blowing it and upsetting my dogs and babies

mrsruffallo · 12/06/2010 21:46

It's their not there

princessmel · 12/06/2010 21:46

I don't think it's just 'Africans' with the trumpet thingys....

But they are annoying yes.

littleducks · 12/06/2010 21:46

DH is watching now, it is horrible worse than any other game before

I have a terrible headache anyway

Maybe the bbc could run a commentary with not stadium sounds for us with delicate dispostions

lou33 · 12/06/2010 21:47

victoria, sorry about that, i have told ds to stop now, as it was upsetting our dog too

GlastonburyGoddess · 12/06/2010 21:47

sounded like a hive of bloody bees I thought. v v irratating, youd think with all the technology nowdays they could of cut that noise out of the background.

Aeschylus · 12/06/2010 21:47

yep, Idiots around my area have been blowing the damn things all day, there was nearly a fight at our local park as a parent snapped at 2 teenagers just sitting there blowing them constantly

It's 'their' and the 'trumpets' are called vuvuzelas!

lou33 · 12/06/2010 21:51

i must just add that i only agreed to buying one, because bf insisted ds1 and 2 would not be able to blow enough to make any real noise

he was wrong

it has been v good for getting the teenage daughters out of bed though, so it isnt all bad

victoriascrumptious · 12/06/2010 21:52

They are called fcking annoying trumpets where I come from

StarOfValkyrie · 12/06/2010 21:54

Think they should allow them in snooker matches. It would make them a bit more exciting doncha think?

PersonalEnglandCoach · 12/06/2010 21:54

I had to mute the commentary as it was aggravating my migraine.
I was suffering enough trying to watch the match through a banging head and fuzzy vision.

Jasonthunderpants · 12/06/2010 21:55

I know my spelling was not correct. That is because I am a tad tippsy and I am cross.
More so about the trumpets than England being crap. One good thing about them going out is NO MORE BLOODY TRUMPETS

BRING ON THE TRUMPETS! Sorry, but what ad is that from? Because it's been bugging me all day.

Carry on.

blackflyinyourchardonnay · 12/06/2010 22:07

It's a sweet advert I think Chickens
Can't remember what sort, 'natural' ones of some sort!

lou33 · 12/06/2010 22:07

they havent gone out

Missus84 · 12/06/2010 22:09

Very irritating - I think Coke have been handing them out.

blackflyinyourchardonnay · 12/06/2010 22:10

Ooh and Jasonthunderpants- YANBU.

Some bugger is standing outside my house right now blowing one.
Grrrrr!

shockers · 12/06/2010 22:13

Sorry blackfly

DinahRod · 12/06/2010 22:13

The SA vuvuzelas sent me and dh to sleep this pm, didn't help that the game was very dull. The hum of F1 motor-racing has the same effect.

blackflyinyourchardonnay · 12/06/2010 22:13

Bring on the trumpets!
