Does anyone whistle anymore

~>Dg<~ · 10 Apr 2008 at 12:34

well you never seem to hear anyone whistle anymore has it been banned or something.i can remember at one time lots of people used to whistle.

Cosimo · 10 Apr 2008 at 12:38

Only done in private these days, banned by the EU.

People listen to music on the go instead now, younger generations don't find the urge to whistle as much due to having many other things to do.

Time's change, get with 'em. Keep whistling if you want to.

I whistle quite a bit - normally if I can't get a song out of my head. It's something to do.

How could it ever be considered gay? I'm betting you just can't whistle / whistle well

. Learn to whistle inwards and outwards and then you can go forever ...

Someone at work whistles a lot whilst he walks the corridors. Can't say as i've whistled recently at all

I quite often whistle to myself.

I can do inwards & outwards, and also a sort of combined hum/whistle that my mates could never reproduce.

Because it is so damned annoying!

my mate used to whistle the xfiles theme tune over and over slightly out of sync that is very annoying

I can whistle and humm at the same time.

You still get the odd loud whistler in clubs, and I want to punch them!

If the producer of the track wanted there to a be a whistle in it, he would have bloody put one there!

Same goes for 'OI OI!' screamers and horn blowers.

People whistle when they're happy, and everyone is just so much more miserable all the time these days.

I really hate it when you hear some yob shout that "OI OI" rubbish in the street. Makes me feel violent towards them. Good job I am a very passive person.

Wolf whistle? Last did it this morning.

Whistle to a tune? Many moons ago.

as i read this, an office member has just piped up and sung a really random tune using his face...

unfortunate that i write code for a living and need to concentrate

lol that's exactly what I was going to post, probably a bit of truth in there too.

I remember whenever I got on a bus to go anywhere as a kid there would be an old man sitting there whistling a tune. You never get old people whistling on busses now.
