World Cup

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

"Instrument" is it?? Let's hear him get more than one note from the fucking thing then.

Oh goody. It would appear that we are running an office sweep on the world cup. As there are 8 of us in total, that divvies up nicely to four teams each.

I have drawn South Africa, Cote d'Ivoire, Switzerland and Uruguay. I'm obviously having a lucky day. :roll:

Meh. A snaredrum, a cowbell or a didgeridoo are also considered instruments.

But they are not that annoying ;)

LOL @ Spigel! :lol: :notworthy: :lol: :notworthy:

Bafana weren't playing attack at all in this game! Sorry to say.
Defence was okay except for our Khune who IMO was called short of that red card! But hey ho, they weren't aggresive enough & much too nervous on the field and that you could see...playing the ball is one thing but going in for a score is another... Luck next time homies...

The South African police have admitted they face major problems with drug dealers, thieves and sex-fiends during the World Cup but have said the situation should improve once John Terry and his family have f**ked off home.

It is, I suppose, understandable that a sponsor who has paid zillions to FIFA to be "official beer to the world cup" would want to prevent other breweries muscling in on the cheap, but all they've done is give the story legs, and the "guerilla marketers" plenty of column-inches.

Bates is still not 100% welcome at ER by some Old Faithful. Wise never really cracked it with us. Poyet? Legend. Shoulda come back as manager instead of Gary Mac.

Sophisticated? You should hear what other teams (a divison above) still sing about us - they miss us, so... :cry:

Ah, the vuvuzela, musical instrument of the Gods. Who can forget Mozart's Vuvuzela Concerto in B minor that took polite society by storm in eighteenth century Vienna?

Many have seen the horn favoured by South African football fans as a bit of a nuisance in the World Cup, but these people overlook the instrument's pivotal role in world history. For example, Samuel Pepys wrote:

17th July 1660: Rous'd from my slumber before dawn by the sound of ye verye gates of HELL be'ng thrown open. Discover'd to my dismay it was but myne Lord Downing, very muche in his cups and play'ng but a single note of a long, red trumpet of the lyke I have never seene before.
"Tally Ho England!" he shout'd up to me at length, "And that Robert Green is a verit'ble useless cunt!"
Then, he continu'd his cacophony, which went on for some hours until the watch shov'd the accurs'd thing up his bottom.

In modern times, Katie "Jordan" Price is about to storm the charts with her new single, in which she plays a virtuoso vuvuzela solo. She has, readers will be interested to learn, had years of practice on the instrument.

Of course, many people cannot afford the huge prices these instruments command. However, you may recreate the authentic vuvuzela sound in the comfort of your own home by slamming a cow in your car door.

Or, invite 10,000 wasps round for tea, before making them buzzing mad with a barrage of "Your Mum" jokes.
