A British tourist is facing the death penalty for allegedly dealing a kilo of ecstasy in Bali. Thomas Parker, 32, (PICTURED, BEARD AND SHAVEN HEAD) was already being monitored by police when he flew into Indonesia from Thailand. Sleuths believed he was part of an international drug ring based in Hungary and began tracking him. The Brit allegedly acted suspiciously while receiving a package of MDMA being delivered by a motorcycle courier on January 21. He is said to have panicked and tried to throw away the package before being arrested outside his holiday villa. Brigadier General Rudy Ahmad Sudrajat, from the Bali Province National Narcotics Agency, said they opened the mail package and found light-brown powder inside. It was later found to be MDMA, the main component of ecstasy. PACKAGE: Video, pictures, text

One of the UK's leading comedy clubs, Top Secret Comedy Club, has become the world?s first to BAN guests with Botox at its Central London venues. The drastic move to inject more emotion back into the club comes after stand-up acts? shared concerns that Botoxed-up Brits? frozen faces aren?t reacting to their jokes. The club?s shock decision to BAN guests ?up to their eyeballs? with the popular beauty treatment was announced as Britain?s love of Botox soars. Almost 1 Million Botox injections are administered each year in the UK, with Botox and Dermal Fillers now accounting for a staggering nine out of ten cosmetic procedures. Mark Rothman, owner of The Top Secret Comedy Club, claims the eyebrow-raising ban, which comes into force today, was the ?last resort? to help liven up the crowd or risk losing comedians performing at the club. Rothman commented: "Our incredibly talented comedians are fed up with performing to reactionless faces. I've had numerous complaints from performers who find it increasingly challenging to gauge audience engagement and bounce off their reactions. Comedy thrives on connection, and facial expressions play a huge part. We want people to laugh, cry, frown, sneer, but frozen faces from Botox impact the entire atmosphere. We hope trialing this ban will help move the needle and get facial reactions back into the room - for the benefit of our comedians and the audience.?
