World Cup "drone"

[SS2]

What is that godforsaken noise from the first two World Cup games? It sounds like someone playing the same note on a trumpet for 90 mins and it is doing my nut in !

 

[Lump]

bubuzela's. A lot of people want them banned

 

[Sneds]

Lol bubuzela?

I was of the understanding they are vuvuzela's. x

 

[Iaing]

Sorry. With The thread title, I was going to answer "the English media".

 

[Lump]

It seems your right, I did google spell check. :S

 

[RichardC]

It's all I have heard all day out of my office window at work!!!!

It does get a tad annoying.

Who gave your office window a vuvuzela? x

 

[RichardC]

They have big screens up in Trafalger Sq, so everyone walks past my office window blowing the blasted things on there way to watch the game

No wonder gun crime is so high in South Africa: if anyone played the vuvlezualebele thing hear me for 90 feckin' minutes I'd turn into even more of a homicidal axe-weilding maniac than I am normally

It's just good preparation for the buskers with bagpipes on Princes St during the Festival

 

[Imurg]

Apparently they are as loud as a Jumbo jet taking off. Should help Rooney swear at the Ref - the Ref wont hear him

 

[JustOne]

I like it...it's culture, better than the thuggery we get here.



Can't hear the wife nagging either, might buy one for myself

 

[HomerJSimpson]

It sounds like a swarm of bees trying to get out of the screen. Ban them or shove them where its hard to blow

Funny how all the horns, drums, trumpets etc. that have accompanied football in Europe and South America for the last, ooh, ever have been conveniently forgotten about.

And frankly, I'd pick the vuvuzelas over that frikkin' England 'band' every day of the bloody week...

And they seem to take the edge off of the moronic stating-of-the-bleedin'-obvious commentators, and that's most definitely a good thing.

 

[drawboy]

Of course you know where the blasted things are heading next? Yep that's right, we soak up everything like a sponge over here. Mark my words.

 

[BrianDamage]

Lol bubuzela?

I was of the understanding they are vuvuzela's. x

That's the Spanish pronunciation.

 

[bobmac]

I'm blissfully unaware of the things you speak of.

How would weilding an axe effect gun crime do you have a gun that fires axes, or an axe that fires guns wow that would be some machine.

 

[Spinn77]

This will be the world cup remembered by the bloody horrible noise.

 

[haplesshacker]

Are they like kazoos (sp)?

I don't mind the bands playing so much. At least it's musical, and to a certain extent it's kinda of patriotic with the style of music they play.
