I'm a compulsive whistler, usually of something I've heard on the breakfast show. today its Simon and Garfunkel - el condor pasa. My six year old is practising and she is getting pretty good - for a six year old... anybody else a fan ? anybody think whistling is annoying ? Ladies -is it a plus or a minus ? where is the x-factor for whistlers - I fancy my chances...

Whistling is still an offence in the Royal Navy. It was used as a signal amongst lower deck ratings to start a mutiny years ago. The only men allowed to whistle in the navy are chefs. This is because if they are whistling then they can't be eating the food they are preparing. Apparently.

Something to do with whistling up strong winds or summat ... going back many many years of course.

Don't whistle or hum, it's just an inane incomprehensible noise. Sing if you mustXx

The whistling at the end of Happy Mondays, Step-On, says it all...

the bit in "jealous guy" is good, and brian ferry is a smooth chap.... in the old days when plumbers, painters, carpenter, sparkies and builders used to whistle a lot... the work was of higher standard than what I see these days... and whistling was clearly the reason

Roger Whittaker, great whistler. He did a version of Early One Morning, absolutely fantastic. Went to see him at The Broadway club in Failsworth, Manchester many moons ago. His support act was The Krankies. Couldn't wait for them to finish!

I used to try and whistle like him. Was once whistling my head off in work, and a welder at the other end of the workshop shouted, shut that fucking whistling up! Some people have no taste!
