I Heard a Rumour That…
Rumours, rumours, rumours, you’d have to have your head buried in
the sand underwater not to hear a few when living in Egypt’s hot spot
diving destinations. And, it seems, sometimes too much desert sun and
salt water in the ears can make you believe the craziest of things. To
help us filter out some of the best and funniest bar stories, our Sharm el
Sheikh resident gossip guru will be reporting in their own unique style
straight from the divers’ mouth
‘Apparently they were going to plant pineapple trees on the Hilton
Fayrouz beach and the Teletubbies were going to be at the planting
opening ceremony. Seriously! Okay, well, we started this rumour one
night years ago over a few drinks at the Pirates Bar, and made bets as
to how long it would take to come right back to us.
I bet on 2 hours, and would you ‘pineapple and eve it’, the very
Rumours. You either love them or hate them. They are so often
next evening a fellow Sharmer excitedly came to us with almost the
wrong, but they just won’t stop. I just heard a rumour that the
same rumour! It wasn’t just the Teletubbies hitting town to plant the
dustmen are coming round more often and that we have loads of
pineapple trees. Apparently, Elton John was also coming to sing
new bins. Yeah right, like I believe that!’
a slightly altered rendition of one of his most popular songs now
called ‘Pineapples in the Wind’.
[Ed’s note: well, we can happily report the bin rumour is true, shame
about the Teletubbies though]
