I'd be pretty disgusted by that too! I think a few people need to get a grip here :o

My youngest's school is organising a screening in the school hall on Wednesday which I think is great - they can all watch it together and I'm sure they'll have a fab time screaming at the screen in a bid to make England score. xD

I trust they will have a choice?

 

I'd run a mile from that experience and so would my children!

Well so would mine normally - but I think there may be an element of missing part of the last lesson of the day! :o I imagine those who don't want to watch will be offered some other kind of activity, but really it is so close to home time that this won't be for too long and then the footie fans can get on with it!

 

No news on whether vuvuzelas are welcome though!

I beg your pardon???

You're seriously telling me you've escaped the pro/anti-vuvuzela argument? Unless you're pulling my leg you must be one of the only people to have avoided the controversy.

 

The vuvuzela is a musical instrument much beloved of South African football fans. Here's a link to Wikipedia for the whole cultural background!

I have just asked older daughter and she thinks it's hilarious that I didn't know xD

The vuvuzela does seem to be an instrument designed for African sensibilities (although I heard a South African on the radio the other day saying he'd never heard of them!), and the main thrust of the argument against their use in football matches is that it makes the commentary hard to hear, etc. I've even heard some footballers saying that they make it hard to hear what the coach is screaming at them from the dugout (see how I know all the lingo?). It seems the humble vuvuzela has stirred up a hornet's nest in terms of viewer outrage and complaint!

 

This link made me laugh though!

 

 

And apparently there's an iPhone app for those who feel they need to 'sound the horn' in any number of social situations! :o

Although it has just occurred to me that during the next match would be a very good time to go to Tesco.

 

You would have to be quick as its at 3pm on Sunday and our Tesco's shuts at 4pm

Ah but our Sainsbury's local opens til 10 on a Sunday. Mind you, you'd be hard pressed to stay in there for the whole 90 minutes. And that's without the inevitable penalty shoot out! :o
