Shrieks were heard all the way from Land's End to John o' Groats?

That's the problem with living on an island.

Neighbourly civility is not a part of her lexicon.

Is she then allowed to have noisy sex in Scotland and Northern Ireland? Perhaps the bagpipes will drown it out.

The ban handed down is excessive, but she and her partner would do well to find a secluded rural house in West Midlands or the Highlands.

Perhaps that's what she sounds like.

Maybe there should be a "gag order" in place. :-)

@7: If you've been keeping up with the story, you'd read how a lot of people agreed with you...at first...but then the investigators started camping out at her neighbors' houses because there were SO MANY complaints. Their immediate next door neighbor hadn't slept in months because of this. Kids were hearing it from the street on the way to school. There's being vocal and then there's aurally raping everyone within a 300-foot radius.

I sympathized with this woman until I read more about the case. Apparently her sessions with her partner sounded like hours long murder scenes that people could hear for blocks. There's "noisy sex" and there's ridiculous neighborhood traumatizing sex, and this seems to have been the latter.

Dan, Dan, Dan... as if you just used the phrase "making love". I'm disappointed in you.

There used to be a play called "No Sex Please, We're British".

It was written for a reason.

Oh, by the way, if you're looking for some extramarital sex hotness, check out Cornwall. No, seriously.

@4 - Scottish people like sex.

It's the Brits that don't. Not sure about the Irish, they can have bizarre attitudes about it sometime (my first two serious girlfriends were from Northern Ireland).

The music at the "at the theater" link is painful to listen to. What kind of theater do you go to, Dan?

By the way, effectively silencing someone is a whole lot harder than simply shoving a ball gag in their mouth (as anyone who owns a ball gag can tell you). That's not to say it can't be done, though.

3 CHEERS FOR SOCIALISM!!!

Its funny Dan, you seem all for the government regulating peoples private lives untill it comes down to one of your pet issues. It seems you have a hard time understanding the concept of liberty

I love it when my neighbors get laid. It's a happy noise. Somebody should be having a good time.

It never keeps me awake, though. I can see that seriously diminishing my good will.

@21, I think you might have missed the point.

@18, please tell me you did not just exclude Scots and Northern Irish from "Brits". Scots are Brits. Welsh are Brits. Northern Irish are Brits (some of the time). The word you were looking for was "English". "English" != "Brits".

You cannot possibly have made this mistake in front of a British person without having all of this explained you.

What is it that renders you absolutely reliably incapable of making true statements of any kind?

If I were the judge, I'd have ordered her to get some cheap soundproofing in her room. Honestly.

They should invest in an anechoic chamber; the practicality of soundproofing plus the fun of sex on a trampoline!
