ERROL PARKER | Editor-at-large | Contact "Kevin has a great set of pins on him and I've heard he's into some pretty heavy shit. Like real plastic bedsheet type stuff. I'm not out to kink-shame him but it's pretty full-on," he said. "We'd hardly put me or Tony in them. Josh said no, too. I'm the boss so there's no way...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT An inner-Brisbane stay-at-home mother of two school-aged Aryan princesses has today urged her husband to talk to one of those councillors he always takes on golf trip to the Gold Coast. Not about the upcoming residential high-rise development he's trying to get up out the back of Buranda, or about how noisy the CityCats are during peak hour. This time...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT Northern Irish silverfox heart throb, Liam Neeson, is set to star in new action thriller vaguely based on the story he regretfully told a journalist like 24 hours ago.

The 31-year-old medical technology saleswoman disappointed friends with this new...

ERROL PARKER | Editor-at-large | Contact The kingfish are biting in Lake Betoota at the moment and one local fisherman doesn't want to be caught unprepared. While Marcus Fresno says he'd be a fool not to head out to the drop-off without a live tank teeming with baitfish, he told our reporter this afternoon that there's still a few soft and...

ERROL PARKER | Editor-at-large | Contact A confused and lost Clive Palmer took to social media today to concede defeat against a tricky IKEA dining chair, saying it was an even contest but the Swedish piece was simply too powerful in the end. But the barrel-chested Aries has said he's not finished with the snooty chair, with the 64-year-old Victorian...

ERROL PARKER | Editor-at-large | Contact Rapper and producer 21 Savage was arrest yesterday in Atlanta over claims he was born in the United Kingdom and emigrated to the United States as a teenager, according to local media outlets.

ERROL PARKER | Editor-at-large | Contact A 24-year-old local finance worker took lunch today at 1pm and he hasn't been back to the office yet. Not because he didn't want to, he says, but because he got distracted.
