Caroline and Steve Cartwright, a Wearside couple who's nightly sexual manoeuvres were described as "murder" and "unnatural" at Newcastle Crown Court, are accused of breaching a noise abatement notice when the delectable Mrs Cartwright's gentle moans reached levels up to 47dB (recorded in a room in the house next door).

Mrs Cartwright is using Article 8 of the Human Rights Act to argue she has a right to "respect for her private and family life".

Notwithstanding that she probably loses this right by inflicting her "private and family life" on her neighbours (upon whom the act presumably also confers a right to private and family life), so it can't be /that/ private, can anything sexual about Mrs (or indeed Mr) Cartwright be considered 'natural'?

I mean, I doubt that even teh's own Throb would.

I've had 'em both. They were about as natural as Sunny Delight.

I required a blue pill sandwich and two Moorlock masks in order to retain turgidity. But by jings, they're squeally.

It doesn't seem all that loud - acording to this thing I found ~

LMAO

This is prettier:



You're right, it's not /that/ loud. But it's the thought that counts (puke)

yours is much better, couldn't find anything like that

 

[edit] wtf? her 'noise' was somewhere between 'raindrops' and 'normal converstaion' - hardly orgasmic

Surely it reached normal conversation levels after coming through the walls, meaning it would have been much louder had it been recorded at ground zero, so to speak.

I think it would depend on exactly what was being heard
I'd be ok with run-of-the-mill grunts, groans and suchlike
but audible verbal comments...maybe not

But you come from Cornwall where grunts and groans count as pillow talk. Along with "baaaaa", of course.

 

<legs it />

lol, good one

These people in these stories always seem to live in this corner of the country.

Bird calls . . . 44 dB

I've often wanted to murder a loud bird at 4am in the summer.

I once got woken up by a loud bird tweeting. So I unfollowed her.

Baddum

And in this case, she lost hers.

In further news, it turns out that the fair Mme Cartwright's love calls had also been a source of complaint by a postman and a woman taking her child to school. Christ, they know how to live in Wearside: sex, a game the whole street can play. I bet they call her the community chest!

Hello?

</tumbleweed>

Hot stuff. I can see why the guy is having his mental health assessed in this one.

No amount of drugs can account for that!

They never learn, do they? The delectable Mrs Cartwright just cannot hold back when she needs to share her joy of life.
