Fishy Tale?

From The wrap (from Guardian Online):

>>> MP AUSTIN FISHES FOR PUBLICITY

He may not have the re-branding flair of a Peter Mandelson, but Austin
Mitchell MP has carried out one of oddest political stunts of recent
times. The member for Great Grimsby has changed his name by deed poll
- to Austin Haddock. The aim is to support his constituency's
struggling fishing industry during a seafood promotion week. None of
his four children has adopted the name change. "I think dad's mad,"
Hannah Mitchell told the Times. "What will it be next seafood week?
Austin Mackerel? Austin Swordfish?"


Question is: does he change his name back after the week's up? Are there time limits?

Having promised a fellow member of CWIL (hey, we've even got a Web presence now!: CWIL) a try out on the sax (she wants to buy one for her birthday [just how many people out there are there who've long harboured the desire to play specifically the sax? it does seem to be the sax that does this. (OK, I was probably born wanting to play the flute, but for a long time before I found an excuse to get one I wanted a sax too)]). So, not having played, with the exception of a long stint Sunday afternoon, since just after Easter, I'd better make sure I can get a reasonable squawk out of it before Thursday evening.


Is it simply that the sax is the sexiest instrument? To look at and to listen to?
