BRISBANE MELTS: BUT WHAT's NEXT?

Fan on last night? Aircon humming? You betcha.

Brisbane's sweltered through its hottest night since 2004 overnight, with the temp down to 27 degrees. Blergh.

The humidity factor was extreme too, hovering around 87% well into the night.

BUT, there's some good news on the way!

The forecast is tipping a cool change:

Thank God grandma has aircon #hotdog #puppylove #furgrandkids #brisbanehot

BABY NAMES AUTHORITIES SAID NO TO
Got any interesting baby names on your list? Are they so interesting they might be nixed at the Registry Office?

The NZ Department Of Internal Affairs has revealed the baby names they said NO to in 2014, and there are some shockers.

One bubba was going to be called Senior Constable, while other newborns were set to be called '3rd' and '09'.

Justice also got the thumbs down, as did Justyce and Justis.

People were also keen on adding a royal touch - with Prince, Princess, King, Majesty and Royal-Rule rejected.

Under New Zealand law names can be rejected for a limited number of reasons, including that they are unreasonably long, resemble a title or rank, or may be offensive.

SUNNY COAST RAIDS NET DRUGS,CASH and AMMO
Thirteen people have been arrested on 34 charges after police raids on the Sunshine Coast and Wide Bay Burnett during the past week.
Charges include possession and production of dangerous drugs, unlawful possession of explosives, drug utensils, possession of counterfeit money and tainted property.

Police say they've uncovered a heap of dangerous drugs including methyl-amphetamines, cannabis, including a small cannabis crop and steroids. A mobile phone frequency jammer, counterfeit money, a sum of cash, ammunition and a quantity of unlawful fireworks and drug paraphernalia were also found.

Detective Inspector Brendan Smith from Taskforce Maxima said he was pleased with the results from the joint operations.

This deployment saw officers from the Taskforce work with regional police to target the unlawful activities of criminal gangs and their networks. Reinforced by the results of these recent efforts, we will continue to work together, conducting operations wherever these gangs operate.
It is always a good result when we locate and seize dangerous drugs during these operations. The possession of counterfeit money and an electronic mobile phone jammer further demonstrates the sophistication and extent of their criminal activities.

CHILD RAPIST: MY MONITORING BRACELET "EMBARRASSING"

A convicted child rapist whose 14 year old victim took her own life wants to have his monitoring ankle bracelet removed because it's 'embarrassing'.

42 year old Darren Costello's served 13 years prison over the attack at Inala in 1995. The Courier Mail reports he was on parole for trying to rob a pregnant woman with a baseball bat at the time.

In Costello's application, he says he's paranoid everyone will know he's got a monitoring device, and claims to have missed out on three jobs because of it.

The complaints don't sit well with child safety advocate and Bravehearts boss Hetty Johnston.

She says he should consider himself lucky to even be allowed back in the community. " This guy's dangerous, and no one really cares what whether he thinks it's embarrassing or not. The fact is he shouldn't really even be out there."

CAN YOU HELP POLICE SOLVE TWIN WATERS ROBBERY?
Remember that armed robbery at a Twin Waters pharmacy last Friday?

It involved a man entering the business, spraying a purple substance at staff, leaving a suss looking package on the counter and taking off with drugs.

Well, detectives have released the image of a man they believe can help with their investigations.
He's described as being in his 40s, white, slim, with grey/brown hair and around 178cms tall.

Nobody was seriously injured, and chemical and air tests all came back clear.

He was seen by witnesses walking around outside the pharmacy and a nearby doctor’s surgery for about 40mins before entering the pharmacy.

Sunshine Coast detectives want anyone with info to contact Crime Stoppers or Policelink.

5SOS SMOKING DANGER!
A big whoops from 5 Seconds of Summer star Calum Hood.

According to the Daily Telegraph, the 19 year old band member was photographed smoking a lit cigarette on the weekend - at a petrol station.

He was with some mates on Saturday when they filled up their car, ciggie in tow.

That's definitely what you call unwise, given the danger factor of flammable liquids near a spark.

This is what BP says on its website: "Petrol is a volatile, highly flammable liquid that gives off vapours. It's important to never smoke, light a match or stub a cigarette out, especially around pumps or fuel containers. You also shouldn't leave cigarettes burning in your car’s ashtray."

Calum then hung with fellow bandmate Luke Hemming on the weekend, while the rest of 5SOS are already in LA.

MALE FASHION? FEMALE FASHION? SAME SAME!
So if you love stealing your boyfriend's oversized shirts, or jeans then get ready for a new world of shopping!

London department store Selfridges is launching a genderless pop up shop in store.

Three floors will be taken up with neither male nor female mannequins in the 'Agender' trial.

The store's creative director LINDA HEWSON has told Retail Week the project will 'act as a test bed for experimentation around ideas of gender - both to allow our shoppers to approach the experience without preconceptions, and for us as retailers to move the way we shop for fashion forward'.

THE PERFECT VALENTINES DAY GIFT...FOR YOUR EX!

Roses are red, violets are blue.
If you've been a dodgy ex, someone might send a COCKROACH to you!

The San Francisco Zoo's got an unusual anti Valentine's Day gift idea. For a small donation, anyone can adopt a cockraoch, or a scorpion in the name of an ex.

The website puts out the offer like this:"Fallen prey to love's cruel sting? Consider adopting the giant hairy scorpion, the largest in North America, for an unsuspecting victim, "Much like your low-life ex, they are usually found in and around low-elevation valleys, where they dig elaborate burrows or 'caves.'"

They take donations up to a $1000 US dollars, and you get a certificate and a TOY version of the vermin.

You can also adopt a much fluffier, cuter animal if you're after an actual valentine too, like this guy:

4 KIDS ALREADY HIT IN SCHOOL ZONES THIS YEAR!

Remember to SLOW DOWN!

Ambos reckon drivers may have relaxed a bit too much over the holidays and are being reminded to take more care driving through school zones.

Classes started back up for the year this week, already four kids have been hit by vehicles in school zones in just 4 days.

The latest happened in Bundaberg this morning, an 8-year-old girl struck, she's now in a stable condition in hospital.

Labor leader Annastacia Palasczsuk is set to become the first woman to win a state election as Opposition leader.

The party is expected to form power today when all the votes are counted, at 70% they held 44 seats, just 1 under what's needed to take government.

While Campbell Newman's conceded his political career is over after losing his seat of Ashgrove to Kate Jones.

While the outcome is putting more pressure on Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who didn't make a single appearance during the election campaign.

There's speculation he may be dumped for Malcolm Turnbull.
