Hmmm?
From today’s Daily Telegraph.
Woman held for noisy sex ‘breach’
A woman has been remanded in custody accused of breaching an Asbo {Anti-social Behavior Order} banning her from being noisy during sex.
Neighbours complained of hearing Caroline Cartwright, 48, groaning and her bed banging against the wall at her home in Washington, Wearside.
Earlier this month she was given a four-year Asbo banning her from making excessive noise anywhere in England.
But she appeared in court on Monday, charged with three breaches of her Asbo in just 10 days.
She was remanded in custody until 5 May.
Cartwright was convicted of five breaches of a noise abatement notice on 17 April and fined £515.
But Houghton le Spring Magistrates’ Court heard police arrested her on 18 April, on 22 April and again on 26 April, after reports from neighbours she was flouting the ban with her husband Steve.
Prosecutor Claire Ward said neighbours complained to police about early morning noises including shouting and groaning coming from the Cartwrights’ home in Hall Road, Concord, Washington.
Cartwright elected to be tried by jury and the case will be transferred to Newcastle Crown Court at a later date.

Is that jealousy or envy… or should she set up some soundproofing.

Maybe the neighbors are just jealous?

Oh that is just too funny. I’ve had neighbors like that in apartment times — I learnt real quick that ear plugs can be your best friend.

I had no idea that there was such a law – much less an enforceable one!
Warning Comment
it seems your Viktor Frankl quote is appropriate on this entry – Perhaps someone should tell Mrs. Cartwright.

That is so strange! My best friend Joe had “noisy neighbors” across the alley. I was visiting one time when they were going at it while the mailman walked by. The look on his face was priceless!! LOL!! Decorum will not let me repeat the “terms of endearment” that was said in the throes of passion. Oh… one of my favourites left information on the Patron Saint of TV for you! Here it is! To answer, Patrisha’s question, St. Clare had a vision that was similar to watching television. They decided to make her the patron saint of it. I love St. Clare. I use to visit a convent of her sisters when I was a teenager. The sisters were really sweet.
