Do 6000, Mike & Pamela have nothing better to do than waffle on this thread ad nauseam.
Jeeeeeez. Get a life (lives?) you morons.
I hope I never hear a vuvuzela again for as long as I live.
PS. I’m 98.

Pamela > Numbers mean nothing. It’s what Mike says that counts.

After all the above comments I am scared to throw numbers around but wasn’t the iphone vuvuzela application downloaded something like 3.5million times….

Antivuvu > Well done for agreeing with Mike, but be careful when bandying around percentages willy-nilly. Mike is a stats expert and so is his son and neither of them like that sort of behaviour.
Can you objectively prove that your support for his point of view is complete? Would your agreement stand up to an independent audit of support? Or would it be more reasonable to suggest that maybe it’s nearer 95% or something similar?
For instance, are you absolutely in concordance with his view that “if foxes looked like whales it might be different”?
I actually do agree with that sentiment, because if foxes looked like whales, I think that it would be different.

Especially for the foxes.

I agree with Mike 100%.

Suddenly HIV cames into pay. What is it about real questions (?) and just simply a topic and your topic too!!

Could’t find the “why did I bother?” thing you you refer to – a pointer please.

Mike > Well, if they don’t, then they don’t. The English didn’t really use them here either – compare and contrast with the Dutch and the South Americans.

Is that the real question, Mike? There’s quite a lot of other important questions to ask as well. Stuff about uniting the nation, proving the doubters and the detractors wrong, finding an HIV vaccine and probably some stuff about rabbits. Probably.

But if that “why did I bother?” thing is the only important question for you, well, I I think we’ve discovered exactly what sort of person you are.

Vuvuzelas will never see the light of day in the Premiership in England – mark my words. It matters not a jot whether they are banned or not – you see the English supporters just won’t be bothered with this plastic piece of junk.

Goodbye – I will not post here again but per chance I do it is because I changed my mind and not because I lied.

The real question is the mystery of how I allowed myself to enter a discussion with someone who seems to lack any focus or concepts of simple logic?

Mike > Calm down, calm down petal. You’ll blow a fuse, bust a blood vessel etc etc.

“you are an entirely dishonourable and stupid excuse for a human being.”
And you, sir are utterly charmless. But never mind. Are you really going to go away this time? No.

Vuvuzelas will never see the light of day in England? So far, I know of three clubs who are selling them and none that aren’t. My radio spot tomorrow will be dedicated to the legacy of the World Cup for SA and for the world and the vuvuzela will feature highly.
