Now this is my kind of woman!

A woman who fell through the floor of an old house in the Estonian capital Tallinn while having sex had to be pulled out of the basement by rescuers using a fire-fighter's ladder, officials said on Tuesday.

"A couple from the street entered the courtyard of an old house under renovation, and the woman fell through the floor while apparently having sex," rescue department spokesperson Marek Simulson said.

"Rescuers had to use a fire fighting ladder to rescue the 22-year-old woman from the basement, which was 2,5m deep," he said.

The incident happened in the early hours of Tuesday in Tallinn's mediaeval Old Town.

"The woman, who was conscious and breathing after the accident, was taken to hospital for treatment," Simulson said.

You know I have banged up a wall or two, knocked over a few lamps, and been covered in rug burns, but I have never actually bored through a floor before! This woman is amazing!

You know what I would call a woman like this? Darling.
