Those crazy Brits

There always seem to be stories out of the UK line this one:

A poet lured her husband into woodland for a drug-fuelled sex session and then slit his throat, a court was told yesterday.

Joanne Hale, 39, left him for dead so she could see a man she had met on the internet, a jury heard.

Hale gave her 43-year-old husband Peter a dose of a natural aphrodisiac called 'horny goat weed' before she blindfolded him and led him into local woods to act out her fantasy, it was alleged.

....

Hale publishes her poetry on the internet and, according to her website, likes to write verse about 'people, animals, love and everything that people care about'.
The Hales were said to have been affected by stress after Mr Hale 'totally messed up' his PhD studies.

And then there are stories with headlines like "Scammonden farmer fined for keeping cows in the dark."
