Vuvuzela

The things themselves aren't the problem, it's the fact they insist on blowing them constantly for 90 minutes - I thought it was supposed to be harder to breathe at a higher altitude?!

Reference made on BBC radio to a Scottsman in South Africa supporting the South African team (apparently has "ABE" tattoo'd on his forearm - acronym for "Anyone But England" according to him) who has managed to attach 6 vuvuzelas to a bagpipe to give a "vuvupipe" or something of that ilk. If anyone finds this story online be sure to post it in here - I'll believe it when I see it.

Quote from the BBC: "The horns, which first appeared at sporting events in the early 1990s,

have been found to be louder than a drum and a chainsaw when played

close to the ear."

 

Have you ever played a drum and a chainsaw close to your ear?

 

Dutch Techno, thats what the techno viking listens to.

It's fairly obvious it's just meant to symbolize how loud it is.

Actually I once saw a band playing chainsaws and welders in festival in Austria.

Japan 2002

 

No, both SK and Japan won their groups.

 

Haha gosh I always remember them getting knocked out in the group stages but you're right. Just goes to show you how much South Africa suck at life.

 

South Africa blows at football  :coat:

I hate them, but it's their World Cup, they can make whatever noise they like as far as I'm concerned.

 

Maybe when we finally get to host a world cup again we can play the sound of metal screeching over the PA for 90 minutes.

 

May I suggest Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music?
