Vuvuzelas being imported to the UK

[paulhackett]

That's right.

Expect to see them piled high at your local store any time soon, decorated in the colours of your local team..

And then expect to hear them at every game next season.. say bye bye chants and pa announcer scripted musical interludes.

England gave the world football and hooliganism and the world gives us Vuvuzelas..

 

[London_Calling]

Haven't you been out in the high street, park, estate or any friggin open space lately?

 

[ernestolynch]

It'll only catch on at Man City and at England friendlies, full of schoolkids with free tickets.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I was wondering about this actually, as football merchants are never ones to miss an opportunity to cash in.

I'm not sure they'll spread though,as I can't help thinking those that go week in-week out will very quickly tire of them as the chants get lost. They'll be adopted for a while, by those who watch the World Cup and nothing else, but I don't think we'll have stadiums full of them for any great length of time.

Thus spake Cam.

Yes.

But the noise hasn't been the same as that coming out of the World Cup?

You must be near (delete cliche as appropriate) swarm of bees/traffic jam/adrian chiles etc. or have tinnitus?

 

[moomoo]

We've got one. I can see it being shoved firmly up someone's backside before the end of the world cup.

I think that may end up being the sound of the world cup in this country. The "muted" vuvuzela.

 

[Badgers]

Danny Jordaan (SA World Cup organising chief) is considering banning them after complaints from players, supporters and broadcasters.

Shops in SA are selling out of earplugs

Ha ha. Yeah we do like our novelty shit but we have no South Africans playing for us.
I tip "Jerome's grandad bombed old Trafford" will appear next season.

Meanwhile, back on topic and as Steve Jobs would say, "there's an app for that". Currently #2 downloaded free app for iPhone.

Would be great if they did ban them.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

They'll take over from whistles at Notting Hill Carnival

 

[Orang Utan]

wicked!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

wicked!

I can see some people getting a bit pissed off, or stabbed

have never handled one but they look quite big; potential weapon?

Well if you break them, you could get stabbed to death by a piece of plastic

A couple of people had them at the Doves gig in Thetford Forest last night. Some drunken twat started blowing one during a quiet number. A burly bloke near to him took it from him, stamped on it and snapped it in two.

Please, please ban them.

Although it jars to say that. Their tournament, their.culture... who are we to deny them that?

 

[Orang Utan]

shut up moaning cunt!

 

[ChrisFilter]

shut up moaning cunt!

 

[Orang Utan]

sorry, it's my mantra for today. nothing personal!

 

[Orang Utan]

but please do get over it and learn to dig the drone.
drones are good.

 

[ChrisFilter]

I'd rather hear singing and chanting.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I'd rather hear singing and chanting.

Ingerland, ingerland

 

[Orang Utan]

I'd rather hear singing and chanting.

that's a horribler noise than the vuvuzela

 

[Orang Utan]

Ingerland, ingerland

exactly. i despise people who shout that.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

that's a horribler noise than the vuvuzela

Yeah, but that's only 'cos the English can't sing.

 

[ChrisFilter]

that's a horribler noise than the vuvuzela

Nonsense!

 

[Orang Utan]

it's the sound of male boorishness - makes my stomach turn and one of the reasons i avoid pubs when football is on.

Yeah, a lot of caveman grunting going on when Ingerland play

Men watching suddenly develop deeper voices
