Now I know why everyone describes these vuvuzelas as a menace to your hearing. Even with all my windows closed I can hear their horrible trumpeting all over the place. They are actually more piercing than the usual car horns.

There's no vuvuzelas going off here in Australia...so I suppose being rightfully crushed has an upside!

Maybe you'll still have the pleasure with the next games or barring that, once teams your immigrants support win. I have no doubt that I'll have to suffer through nights of car horns and now vuvuzelas for Italian, Portuguese and Spanish teams too. For the early games it at least doesn't last that long, but the final games it'll be different. Well, on the bright side even with these it can't become possibly as crazy as when the cup was held here last time. Also, one good thing of the vuvuzela compared to car horns is that somone has to blow them rather than just pushing a button, so they'll have to get tired eventually.

I live in a very, very rural area, so unless the Dutch team suddenly does well (or the Irish somehow show up) I should be good! Still, my girlfriend is Italian and a French family just took over one of the cheese factories...
