And we thought HOA's had strict rules!

An excerpt:

"(AP) A British man has been banned from visiting his girlfriend's home after neighbors complained about noisy sex, a local government official said Thursday.

Adam Hinton, 32, was barred from getting within 100 meters (110 yards) of his 29-year-old girlfriend Kerry Norris' apartment by a British court Wednesday, Brighton and Hove City Council spokesman Mike Taggart said."

Does that mean they can still do it in the car?

As long as they're not parked within a 100 meters of her apartment.

Studies show that 5 out of 4 people have problems with fractions

I'm just glad I don't have to be the board member to "verify" the violation!

On the other hand, I could take my husband with me, and a bottle of wine. . . . hmmmm.....

Michelle,

No doubt the cameras from Swingtown would show up to produce yours and the British couples story.

FYI. . .

Here's the whole story. Note that she lives in an apt not an HOA. An HOA board would never think to do such a thing, right? LOL

Man Banned From Girlfriend's Home After Noisy Sex
Court Bans Man From Girlfriend's Home After Neighbors Complain About Noisy Sex

LONDON, Aug. 14, 2008

(AP) A British man has been banned from visiting his girlfriend's home after neighbors complained about noisy sex, a local government official said Thursday.

Adam Hinton, 32, was barred from getting within 100 meters (110 yards) of his 29-year-old girlfriend Kerry Norris' apartment by a British court Wednesday, Brighton and Hove City Council spokesman Mike Taggart said.

Residents of Norris's publicly-owned home had been complaining since 2006 about thumping music, banging headboards, and screamed obscenities, Taggart said. He added that a young child had been traumatized.

"There was a 6-year-old child who was subjected to the sort of obscenities you wouldn't want a 6-year-old to hear," Taggart said, adding that Norris also sunbathed naked in her yard in full view of passers-by.

"She is a classic nightmare neighbor," he said. "There's a salacious, smutty side to this case. But it's not about sex, it's about allowing your neighbors to have a normal decent life without being disturbed."

Taggart said the city council in the southern English community sought the injunction banning Hinton from the apartment because Norris had ignored a previous court order demanding that she be more quiet.

Last week, Norris was forced to pay 300 pounds (US$560) in fines and court costs for breaking "noise abatement order," Taggart said.

Neither Norris or Hinton could be located for comment.

I would hope an HOA board would file such a suit. The issue was about a noise problem (And perhaps vulgarities) and not about private matters. If the couple kept their private matters private there wouldn't have been problem.
