Vuvuzelas Banned for World Cup

Some great news – the Vuvuzelas are likely to be banned from the World Cup. Bit late for the football world cup, but who cares about them? The Rugby World Cup, the one that matters, have them banned for all of the games in New Zealand – following on from certain venues banning them in the Tri-Nations

Any one who has tried to sit through the football World Cup will welcome the banning of the vuvuzelas with open arms. Those bloody awful plastic trumpets (best I can think of to describe them) have spoilt the little pleasure I manage to derive from watching the the over paid wendyballers fall over anyway. Every match it is the same thing, droning, monotonous noise from start to finish.

Some might wish they were there to drown out the ITV coverage (yes, sorry, it is on ITV again) but in the main their noise will not be missed.

“We are concerned about their potential to spoil the experience for fans,” a venue management executive said.

Good to see someone is. And good to see that yet again rugby turns out to have more brains than football. Good bye you annoying plastic noise polluters. You will not be missed.

Thanks to @the_welsh_idiot on Twitter for bringing this to my attention
