I can't see the problem everyone seems to have with the 125 decibel-blasting plastic trumpets being incessantly blown for the full 90 minutes during every World Cup game. We are told that they are a tradition in South Africa - so that's OK by me! Obviously it is a more palatable tradition than most associated with that country such as racial apartheid, being kicked to death by Winnie Mandela's bodyguards, or lobbing spears at Michael Caine.
The Three Cheers for the Vuvuzelas are for: -
HIP HIP - The only people they are bothering are those sad acts who watch EVERY World Cup game, and not just their own country's fixtures. Anyone who settles down with their large bag of Doritos and a 4-pack of Stella to watch such thrilling fare as Honduras v Chile or Paraguay v New Zealand, frankly get all they deserve!
HIP HIP - They drown out the embarrassing England band with their wonderful repertoire of tunes such as "The Great Escape", the old favorite, "The Great Escape", and not forgetting of course, the timeless classic, "The Great Escape".
HIP HIP - Suffering through these horns for the duration of the competition means that everyone will be familiar enough with them come the forthcoming season and beat their owner to a sticky pulp before they enter Rockingham Road.
