An honourable mention

Everyone, Andy Warhol said, is supposed to be famous for 15 minutes. And I've just had mine.

There I was, in a humdrum committee room, watching the behind-the-scenes movers and shakers of the Commons talking about whether the Clerk of the Commons' role should be split, and a new chief executive created, when my Twitter feed suddenly came to life.

It seems the kindly Sir Edward Leigh had quoted from this blog in a Commons debate on fixed term parliaments…

You can listen to the moment here.

Blush, preen, gloat. Will life ever be the same again? Will I have to start dodging the paparazzi? Or will the Today in Parliament team soon pull me back to earth?

(What Mark has modestly neglected to mention is that Sir Edward called him "an ornament of the constitution". We'll look into having it emblazoned on this blog - Ed.)
