...'cos they're such a pain in the head.

That constant noise could, potentially, drive a person to kill!

Don't mind them, or even this being the millionth thread on the subject. I find i just tune them out after a while.

They've been around for yonks in cricket games. Though as i won't be watching any football they don't bother me

I barely even notice them just background noise like a motorway. Besides a South African lass made a great point this morning on radio. "How would you like to hold the World Cup and be told you can't sing" I think there great.

At last! I hope they get this sorted by Friday
More worryingly though:

England fans in the UK appear to be heeding his call; Sainsbury's sold 22,000 red vuvuzelas – or "Vu Vu horns" as it brands them – in 12 hours before England's game – one every two seconds. The supermarket chain has ordered 25,000 extra horns but thinks it may run out before Friday's game against Algeria.
Please no!

Apparently they can't ban them now even if they wanted to, until after the stage 1 group games - because it would be an unfair advantage to those who now didn't have to play with them being used.

Apologies if the topic's been done already.
I rarely read newspapers, I ain't on here everyday, and I've only watched about 120 minutes of the tournament in total, inc. highlights.

However that noise really does grate - so irritating.
So, anyone blowing one around here is getting it right effing up 'em!
*EDIT* - much like the chap above

Failing that, earplugs are the way forward.

For once I agree with Sepp Blatter. We shouldn't try and Europeanise (!!) an African tournament.
