HOWEVER, I'm very pleased to say that, yes Victory, everyone has WON £5. Please email Newsbiscuit for your prize :))) malgor on "Hunter F.

The tribute is in a particular form of Mandarin with which I'm regrettably not entirely familiar. Prefer satsumas, easier to peel. Golgo13 on "Hunter F.

Tama-san's philanthropy involved sending unwanted harmonicas from affluent Japan to Africa, where they could be put to better use. (this is, of course, mentioned in the tribute I linked to). malgor on "Hunter F.

Following Golgo's line of reasoning, I think his middle name is simply 'F'. I've made the following assumptions: (1) that Blues is my Middle Name, like any good Blues, would be in the key of Bb; and (2) Hunter's playing accompaniment on the blues harmonica. So that would be in the key of F. Hence, in Hunter's case, F is my Midde Name. Tired now. rikkor on "Hunter F.
