Robin Williams had bipolar disorder, which greatly increases chance of suicide

MANDY Rice-Davies - one of the women at the centre of the Profumo affair which rocked Harold Macmillan's Tory government in the 1960s - has died aged 70.

A SPOKESMAN for the family said Marilyn Foreman, also known as Mandy Rice-Davies, had died on Thursday evening after a short battle with cancer.

"They have asked for their privacy to be respected and no further comment will be made," he said.
The lurid disclosures of high-society sex parties and claims that the Secretary of State for War John Profumo had shared a mistress with a Russian defence attache enthralled and scandalised early 1960s Britain.
Rice-Davies, a nightclub dancer, gained notoriety when in the witness box of the Old Bailey she dismissed a denial by Lord Astor that he had slept with her, saying: "Well, he would, wouldn't he?"

We went to all his concerts in Perth, absolutely brilliant performer.
His last appearance here, he really struggled, now I know why.
Very sad, another great performer gone.
 
I was listening to him talking about his ten year cycle and how @ 30 his friends (and he) expected him to be dead from drugs, dead @ 40 for whatever, until he realised maybe he was in for the long haul and should embrace the situation.

I loved "Cry Me River" when it came out and one of my favourite album for years was "With A Little Help From My Friends"

Didn't women look much more attractive than back then. Leon Russell got hall of famed, but I don't think Joe did?

Jeremy Lloyd Dies Aged 84. The writer, who was once married to Joanna Lumley, was awarded an OBE for services to comedy in 2012.

He is best remembered for co-creating with his fellow comedy writer David Croft the television shows Are You Being Served? and ’Allo ’Allo. Both were innuendo-laden, populated with pantomime grotesques and were accused by sniffier critics of being sexist, racist, misogynist and homophobic.

The rest of the obituary can be read via the link below.

Malcolm Fraser

RIP

Yes and while the rest of them give him credit for being a leader, Tony can't help but put in an implied snipe about Labor. The praise he gives Malcolm is strange because the Liberal party today compared to the Menzies/Fraser Liberal party is what Bizarro is to Superman = every thin recognisable commonalty and enough for Malcolm to resign his membership.
 
I gave my first vote to Fraser. He still lost the election.
