A Queensland woman living in a high rise Newstead apartment has discovered she doesn’t even have to turn the telly on to know the origin results, because her neighbours will quickly let her know.

Esme Lioncourt, 32, a longterm suffering renter who pays $600 a week for the privilege of living alone, tells our reporter that she always knows when there’s ‘a major sportsball event’ on, as the blokes next door tend to carry on a bit.

Having grown up with a father who wasn’t really a sportsball kind of guy, Esme reveals she never realised how vocal blokes were watching sports.

“First time I heard a bunch of guttural male moans coming from the apartment next door, I thought something a bit suss was going on”, admits Esme.

“But then I heard some whistles and figured it must be a sports thing.”

Esme  says she can now quickly discern the results by their guttural moans, which range from low and disappointed which means bad results, and a high pitched and gleeful yell that means good results.

There’s also a short, anticipatory “OoH”, which comes before either of these results.

Kind of like how a clap of thunder comes before lightning.

“Ah yeah, they were pretty happy with the last game so I think we might have won?”, says Esme, “and the one before that, we definitely lost because someone thumped the wall.”

“So I guess I’ll find out soon.”

More to come.
