    I seem to remember he added the J. because there was another actor called Michael Fox, and he wanted to avoid any confusion. I think J. doesn't stand for anything.

    That could all have merit, but what's his middle name? ;)

    Then he doesn't really have one. Either that, or it's Jordan.

    Jordan? No, I looked it up - you meant his real middle name.

    ...Which instrumentalist had 20 recordings in the UK singles charts between 1957 and 1963 including 2 no. 1s?
    The musician in question was Russ Conway. Looksee made reference to him when suggesting Winifred Atwell as the answer.

    Russ played in a style reminiscent of Charlie Kunz 20 years earlier. He used a piano tuned to sound like Winnie Atwell's "Honkey-tonk". His two number 1s were "Roulette" and "Side-saddle"

    I believe the baton should pass to Looksee given that she, at least, made reference to Russ Conway.

    Ah now, you can't take my stream of consciousness stuff as an answer. Can you? Oh well, give me a minute.

    Which river starts out as Isis and then Ock in its upper reaches? (there is a poem that might help!)

    Great question, but the poem reference gave it away for me.

    Isis or Ock or Thame,
    Forget your olden name.
    And the lilies and the willows and the weirs
    from which you came.


    The Thames.

    It would have taken me longer only the rhyme came to mind.

    To put Michael J. Fox to rest.... his middle name is actually Andrew.


    What had American Presidents James Buchanan, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, and Chester Arthur in common?

    If you say that their middle name was Andrew, I won't be responsible for my actions. :pac:

    They were all defeated in presidential elections as outgoing presidents.

    No. Not a political connection per se.

    Just a guess - they were all wartime presidents?
