Bah. Forget that then. > Apart from that, I like it.

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 >From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from 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. -- D.
