Valyrian Plastic Apr 2017 12:01pm, 3 Apr 2017 3,469 posts	Quote Pin Valyrian Plastic On the subject of noise, that fucking ice cream van blaring a jangly version of the Match of the Day theme when it pulls up on our street. It always shows up when the weather's warm enough to justify opening the windows. Is it too much to ask for fresh air and a bit of peace and quiet!?!? I'm sure a lot of people have their own version of this.

When I conducted marriages at the register office with the windows open in the summer months the strains of Match of the Day from an ice cream van could be heard from time to time. Kind of appropriate really especially if during a ceremony. Might have to wait till teatime Teabers

It was a such a terrible rendition that it made the theme from Barney sound almost respectful in comparision (though no less annoying, of course).
