It’s rare that the front page of a newspaper makes me laugh aloud, but the Newcastle Evening Chronicle on 29 August was just priceless.

“Couple is told to cool off over noisy sex romps,” it proclaimed, proceeding to explain that their “noisy sex romps are driving neighbours mad” and that they “have been slapped with a noise abatement order after complaints about their four-hour romps.”

Caroline, the lady concerned, goes on to explain:

“I must admit I do scream and make lots of noise when we’re having sex, but I can’t help it. Apparently I’m so loud people think I’m getting murdered. The police have said they have been called because they have feared for my safety. We are not using whips or anything like that.”

Shame, really: they should try it some time. (And congratulations to the couple concerned for clearly having such fun after 24 years of marriage).

PS did I just mention sex on our blog?!!!
