AnElephantCant – can – do World Cup Woe

Posted on by newsroom

World Cup Woe Copyright Phil Burns, AnElephantCantHere come Helensburgh’s creative duo, publishers AnElephantCant, aka artist Phil Burns, drawing Jumbo’s take on the vuvuzela with writer Brian Cairnduff issuing something of a challenge to Scotland’s pipers in a Piobaireachd for what might have been. After last night’s England game with the USA, many south of the border may share the piobaireachd.

Anelephantcant find a rhyme for vuvuzela
So he’ll have to make do with a lie
But for the month coming up
In the 2010 World Cup
It’s the sound to bring tears to the eye

Yes this trumpet was at one time a weapon
To terrify the enemy types
Now as all good Scots know
You can win with a blow
On vuvuzelas just like the bagpipes!

So lets all cheer Bafana Bafana
The experts say the home team can’t advance
Although Scotland’s not there
Lets show we still care
And all dance to this chance of romance

We’d all like South Africa to triumph
If only for Nelson Mandela
So take a deep breath
And puff till you’re deaf
Play a pibroch on your vuvuzela.

Mull Rally 8th-10th October

Posted on by newsroom

Mull Car Club’s Closed Road National B Stage Rally is on October 8th, 9th and 10th 2010.

It has had help and goodwill from the 2300 Club which has, for forty years, run the acclaimed Tour of Mull Rally on the island in October.

The Mull Rally follows the 2300 Club’s decision not to run the Tour of Mull Rally in 2010 and maintains a rally event on and for the island at this time of the year.

The event’s three sections will be:

  • Section 1: 8th-9th October – night stage,  starting from Tobermory.
  • Section 2: 9th October – afternoon stage – starting from Salen.
  • Section 3: 9th-10th October – night stage  starting from Salen.

Full details are on the Mull Rally website, with a neat and dynamic logo for the event.
