A Hampshire man deliberately parked on double yellow lines to attract a traffic warden he'd fallen in love with.

Colin O'Neill, 44, has now married Doris Lemon, 43.

They met when she gave him a £30 ticket for leaving his car for two hours in a 30-minute area.

He parked in illegal zones near his home in Denmead for weeks to attract her attention. He says he was attracted to her uniform and strict attitude.

Mr O'Neill said: "This is my final booking. I'm well pleased. One of the things that attracted me to Doris was that she was very strict and heavy-handed. The other was her uniform."

His new wife says he won't get preferential treatment.

"He has to stick by the rules. He'll still get a ticket if he misbehaves," she told The Mirror.

Sounds like the guy has been driven round the bed. Traffic wardens are evil.

Gary Condit is into discipline as well. Only he likes to give it.

And if he's really naughty, maybe even a spanking.

He was looking for a lovely Rita but ended up with a lemon.

I wonder if their wedding night included a bit of spanking and discipline.

He's going to have to "feed that meter" regularly, or else it's Spanky-time!

UGH! Some of these Brits seem to like dominant women and cars. I read it here on FreeRepublic recently where a guy was arrested for throwing himself in the path of women drivers. He said he liked to be dominated by women and being run over by one would be the "ultimate".

What a bunch of sick pervies!!!

My favorite singing group, The Bobs, anticipated this very situation with a song about a guy who falls in love with a cute traffic cop -- "Do I have to lead a life of crime / To see you one more time?"
