I hadn't thought to blog this because I thought that parental reading could lead to mild embarrassment (I THINK they have the link to this site) , then it occured to me that they are grown ups too. So.....
Remember how I said I live in a tent? With fabric for walls? THIS is what can happen.
There are 10 tents in a row. 2 down from me is a couple, I shall call them John and Jane. In between us is a guy that I shall call Joe. He is a typical cockney in all senses. Brash, heavily accented and absolutely hilarious. He always has a quick comment, generally lewd, that makes everyone just crack up.
On this one occassion John and Jane were enjoying each others company, sexually, LOUDLY. I knew, lying in my bed, that everyone could hear them. I was two tents down and it sounded like they were on my doorstep. It wasnt like I was going to get up and go say politely, 'scuse me, guys? Can you, like, keep it down a bit?'
So I just hoped they would hurry up. It was just at a particularly loud point in this event, that suddenly, from the next tent, a booming cockney voice that could probably be heard in Khartoum shouts out: 'Oi! If you are going to be so loud about it, at least invite me in!'
The entire row of tents erupted into hysterical laughter. Everyone just cackled, and we could all hear each other cackling, and it just went on and on and on. It was just one of those moments.
To their credit, I dont think it even stopped them!

LOL good one Joe!
Oh my goodness! I say it every time i read your blog - i don't know how you cope. It bothers me that my office walls are drywall and i can hear the person next door coughing!
hahhahaha brilliant! Loving his sense of humour ;)
Dude I'd hate that ... imagine being able to hear EVERYTHING your neighbour does ... and I'm not just talking sex! There's the snoring, the coughing, the farting, the scratching etc.
AAAARRRRGG!!!
You learn to live quietly....
Hysterical !
OMG I would be so mortified, but then if I was in a row of tents, I would be bitting my lip for sure! That is hysterical!
I guess when you are in that sort of situation, you have to laugh at such things or be miserable.
Malicious: Before I moved to Sudan I was landlady of a pub in London. I lived on site in accomodation with very thin walls populated by people on their gap year. I have heard every single one of my staff having sex! You get used to it after a while!
