Not the greatest of Presidents but undoubtedly one of the greatest humanitarians. I doubt there will have been a more highly respected politician. RIP...

Peter Brown, the former Scotland rugby captain who was renowned as one of the great characters of the Scottish game, has died at the age of 83. He had been battling cancer for some time, but it is understood he also suffered a fall a few days ago.
Peter Currie Brown, affectionately known throughout the sport as ‘PC’, won 27 caps for Scotland, ten of them as captain, between 1964 and 1973. A strapping forward who could play at lock or No 8, he was also a gifted goalkicker, a talent most memorably displayed with the last-minute conversion of a try by Chris Rea that gave Scotland a 16-15 victory over England at Twickenham in 1971.
Brown, who was born and raised in Troon, wasa member of one of Scotland’s great sporting dynasties. His father, Jock, was a goalkeeper with Clyde and Hibernian who won one cap for Scotland. His lock-forward brother Gordon, better known as Broon frae Troon, won 30 caps for Scotland and played eight Tests for the British & Irish Lions. His uncle, Jim Brown, emigrated to the USA and represented his adopted country in the 1930 soccer World Cup.
Both PC and Gordon were excellent after dinner speakers - fortunate to have heard both speak and seen both play.

Gordon said that he popped in to see him and Peter asked ‘Have you heard the good news? I’ve been selected for Scotland!’
‘Great!’ said Gordon ‘Who’s been dropped?’
‘You’ replied Peter
Comedian Tony Slattery has died aged 65 from a heart attack. RIP
Argh, ****ing sad news that. I met him a few times in pubs in Wimbledon in the mid to late 80's. He'd often frequent them with John Sessions , who lived in the area. He was a genuinely lovely guy, albeit very nervy and somewhat skitzoid( he would later get diagnosed as bipolar). They were both among the wittiest and quick minded people I've ever met. He was a tortured soul, and blamed it mostly on being raped by a priest repeatedly as a child. He was also a genius, and that's how I'll remember him ! RIP Tony

What a fantastic player he was, United owe much of their 60s success to his great finishing. Probably Britain's greatest trio Law, Best and Charlton now all gone, all were Ballon d'Or winners. RIP The Lawman...
