    I saw some idiot on TV the other night defending the use of these stupid things - "a piece of Africa's cultural heritage".

    A piece of plastic that Tesco are giving away - some heritage !

    You could probably buy a more "authentic" vuvuzela, from a South African Shop. There is one at Charing Cross and many more throughout the UK.
    Lots of the SA shops are on the internet and you could phone and check if they are stocking them.

    ;) Felines are my favourite ;)

    But why oh why would you want to?
    We need to get a new law urgently banning the stupid things.

    You can buy one from the chav kid over the road who was out blowing it at 7:23 this morning.


    Although it may need washing if I've managed to stuff it where I'd like to by the time you get to him :mad:
    Some days you're the dog..... most days you're the tree! :D
