Bah.  Forget that then.

Oh. That simplifies matters.  We could go with my overall first pick then, the 
tongue-in-cheek Codename Texas.  Everybody knows the Yellow Rose of 
Texas.  :)

But anyway:

Abraham Darby Specialist School for the Performing Arts

The Abraham Darby School for the Performing Arts
[...]
The Abraham Darby School for the Performing Arts in Telford, Shropshire, UK, 
received specialist status in performing arts in 2003. It is named after 
Abraham Darby III and is situated approximately one mile from the world 
famous Iron Bridge which he built in 1779.
[...]
The school has 44 years of musical tradition and is home to the wind band, The 
Abraham Darby Showband.


Abraham Darby III was the third in a line of key Industrial Revolution figures 
who were all apparently involved in inventing the process of using coke 
rather than charcoal in iron production, which would seem (though not stated 
as such in the articles) to be a step toward cheap steel and life as we know 
it.

Kind of cool for a random pick, actually, though if there's too much baggage 
here, we could scrap everything, and go a completely different way.

In fact, it has just occurred to me that the BEST possible codename for this 
release is Rosegarden Thorn.  It has certainly been a thorn in ALL of our 
sides!

I officially nominate Thorn.
