7% of people talk on the phone during sex.
Going to the toilet and having sex are some of the activities people get up to when talking on the phone, says a British poll. A survey released yesterday found 7 per cent of people had "been intimate" with a partner when on the telephone to someone else.
Men were more likely than women to have been involved in a romantic clinch when chatting on the phone, with 9 per cent admitting to answering a call when making love compared to 5 per cent of women.
The survey found one in 10 people admitted to taking a call while otherwise engaged. It also found that people in the Newcastle region of northern England, for example, were also most likely to chat to friends while sitting on the lavatory, with 44 per cent of people admitting to it compared with just 21 per cent of Scots. » Article here

Police have charged a man with arson after investigators say he set fire to the office of his ex-wife's divorce lawyer. Ronald Lynn Jenkins, 40, turned himself in Sunday afternoon, said Columbia police spokeswoman Sgt. Florence McCants. He is charged with second-degree arson, second-degree burglary and stalking, she said.
Attorney Robert Masella said he has been representing Jenkins' ex-wife for more than three years. Last week, Jenkins lost an appeal in his divorce case, Masella said. Masella, 46, who uses a wheelchair, said Jenkins confronted him outside downtown Columbia office Friday morning and threatened to kill him. Masella called police but Jenkins left before officers arrived. Jenkins is accused of breaking into the office later Friday night and setting a fire in the library. » Article here
