to ba annoyed with the Africans and there trumpets

[Jasonthunderpants]

The fans blowing the trumpets spoilt the game.It was nothing but a constant din. In the end i turned the sound off and listened to easy music
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH

MRS jasonthunderpants wasn't to pleased either

noise on the telly,switch off and stop bellyaching,and it's you who is being a daft trumpet

YANBU, they were very annoying.

YABU and racist in my opinion (and I don't have a great love of vuvuzelas myself)

And victoria we prefer Sahf Efricans

I thought it was Seth Ifricans?

I only read this far cos i knew someone would say "racist"

That is a ridiculous thing to say.

It's not racist to dislike loud noises. You don't have to say you like them really just because they are being made by someone from another country.

How is it even a tiny bit racist?

Lol - have you lot ever been to a live football match? YABU.

Whittywan is being ironic, surely.

i want to get one of these trumpets.

the next fuckwit who moves in downstairs, i'm gonna go blow that mutha fucka night and day in his bedroom window.

i hope he hates it.

Well if you watched a game and watched when the camera panned the crowd virtually all races present were using one not just 'Africans' or to correct you South Africans as i don't think South Africa (1 country) = Africa (Continent)

I have made clear to my DH that either the trumpet (or whatever you call it ) noise goes, or the telly goes off. FWIW, he's (happily) agreed; it's the most annoying sound and it would be a shame if the SA games were remembered only for that horrible fucking noise!

I found that I just didn't hear the vuvuzelas after a short while and then I'd hear them again for a short while and tune it out again. I guess if you don't bellyache about it, your brain finds the constant noise easy to block out. Like white noise.

Now F1 racing, it gives me a headache and can't block that one out the pitch has a whine to it that generates a migraine.

Oh, I'd have a vuvuzela myself too just for the occasional honk to get DH out of bed.

I have a didgeridoo but that is more challenging to master and not quite annoying as a wake up call.

foxytocin, F1 (and roundy-roundy bike racing) bugs the fuck out of me too. I think it's different if you're actually watching, and therefore engaged in the game/race. I, however, as a non-sports-lover generally, am happy to tolerate all sort of crowd noises, DH and both DSs rising to their feet and yelling at the telly... I'm used to all this, and it doesn't bother me. But that constant sound of a hive of bees about to start nesting in my house - I tell you, I'll put the screen in on the telly rather than put up with that for a month.

And that would mean missing Corrie.

So you see how serious I am.

nah, i wasn't engaged in the game. > how could you, shite game. was on the computer and the dds were up. but I suppose it is irritating to some more than others.

Arrr, you're not alone, my head is splitting because of the buzzing noise (or the consequence of the 4-5 beers)

I was very cross when the woman in the Brewery gave dd a vuvuvuvuvulalal yesterday. I was very pleased when DD left it in C+A changing room. I was very naughty to not tell her where it was.

They are annoying, but livens things up a bit. Something different.

The footballers should stand there and refuse to play until they stop that god-awful din!
I don't know how they can think straight, 2 minutes of it made me want to kill.
They ought to be banned.

Just read that France are blaming their result on the noise of the vuvuzelas and South Africa are "pondering a ban". There is a Facebook group to ban them.
We are not the minority lol

They are seriously fucking annoying.

I can't imagine what it must be like for the players.

'Just read that France are blaming their result on the noise of the vuvuzelas'

Why, did the opposing side consist of 11 deaf men?

Its historically part of South African football and Fifa would have known this when they awarded SA with the 2010 World Cup. Like it or love it, the vuvuzela is here for the next month.

That didn't make sense - I mean, 'love it or hate it'

(I'm tired, bloody vuvuzela's kept me awake last night)
