A simple question. You decide

[DulwichFox]

What is more irritating?

Yodelling or Bagpipes

I cant make up my mind.

Question arised by watching BBC Breakfast.

Foxy,

Hands down bagpipes for me. Never been an occasion when i have found them pleasent, while on the other hand the Brad Pitt yodelling sketch did entertain me.

Bagpipes for me- I have tried to understand them but as a person who has dabbled with musical instruments for years they are unfathomable. Yodeling has (did have) a practical purpose in communication and takes great voice control - I may be biased as I have Austrian blood

[Applespider]

Yodelling.

I can listen to a pipe band longer than I can a yodeller.

However, I suspect I'd find both equally irritating if there was a learner within any vicinity of me... then again, any musical instrument can be excruciating to the ears in close proximity (i.e. the poor piano being abused in the flat below even now)

[ruffers]

Bagpipes.

Next!

[Seabag]

Try and yodel "Mull of Kintyre"

The bagpipes are way nice than fekkin yodeling

[titch juicy]

i like both

[Seabag]

I like coffee

But, it has to bee high arabica cold brew

Yodelling is exceptionally more irritating than bagpipes will ever be.

Mind you if your only experience of bagpipes is an unaccompanied, out of practice and out of tune piper trying to make a quick buck at a tourist spot then I can see why you'd dislike them.

Yodelling is right up there, along with Gregorian chanting and tubular bells. A frightful dirge.

Yodelling, by a million miles. I can't bear it.

But then I'm half Scottish so I guess the pipes are in my blood :)

[Robert Poste's Child]

Is this one of those unanswerable baboon vs badger questions? Yodelling is insane and I couldn't bear more than a few seconds of it, whereas I find bagpipes strangely stirring.

[Seabag]

What's the one where they whistle and chant/holler ?

That's pretty wearing, as is hand bell ringing

Not sheep dog trials btw

[Robert Poste's Child]

Mind you, I find many things annoying. If I were shut in a room with only a TV showing this week's Strictly I wouldn't like to be held accountable for my actions.
