God it sounds so awful that I have to go and have a look straight away! Thanks fo the tip.

The problem with video is that it is a lot harder to fast forward through unlike text which you can skim and still get a reasonable idea of how good or bad something is. Long live the written word! Well it’s done The Times alright for the last 100 years plus.

They could launch 'electricity in your code' as ours has just returned...

When talking about London districts, I've always understood "vibrant" to be a kind of journalistic euphemism for "has black people living there".

So maybe I'm a geek. So maybe it took me a few paragraphs to realise that it was supposed to be "Cool in your postcode" not "Cool in your HTML code". So what.

I'm definitely not a geek and I thought exactly what Ham thought, at first.

And this is why we love you. Fabulous.

It's also why I don't read the Times!

HA1 is Harrow, isn't it?

Oh god. I'll just go and shoot myself now.

Hooray for London-centric media!

Waiting for DT5 - Isle of Portland

"And here were are hanging around Easton Square with all the hoodies, undergoing an ancient mating ritual where they will end up marrying their cousin. And their sister. "

I think I'll stick with the diamond geezer tour of London... when do we get our next borough?

Not much competition for you DG. I will not be looking at that "cool" stuff.. Give me the hard core DG London write ups..as Michelle said time for another trip to the special jam jar.

Christ on a bike that was terrible. The editing was like a kids programme. I learnt nothing except that I hate The Times a little bit more now.

The unrelenting smiley fun style reminds me of that old Adam and Joe daytime TV parody "People's Place"

"Hello! and welcome to 'People's Place', the show that goes wherever there's a place, with people! in it."

If you try loading the CIYC index page using FireFox 2.0, on mac or pc, there is no embedded player. instead, some handy javascript throws up a pop-up window (which your browser might well block), containing a version of the player that will auto-run the flash clips.
if you miss the popup window, there is also javascript to serve an extra message, and hyperlink, to relaunch the pop-up player.
Works for me on mac FF2.0, Opera and Safari, and PC Opera and FF2.0.

IE6 users get a different version of the page, with an embedded version of the player, again with autoplay.

Not a solution to range/location/content theme, but the techy answer to these queries.

sorry to be boring

I doubt they'd reach LL29 anytime soon :S

It really would have be a much more intrigueing feature if they'd started searching for trendy metropolitan things to do in the really challenging postcodes.

I'd like to suggest EH26 (Penicuik) and DT1 (Dorchester) - from my experience of living in those areas that'll keep them busy for a bit! In fact I want to do it myself - "The bandstand in the Borough Gardens is the place to be seen on Sunday afternoons. Don't miss the Durnovaria Brass Band!"

FY6 is a good place to start, we have a restaurant, a squash and social club, an *indian* takeaway and a ferry that can take you to Fleetwood (except it can't cos its broken again)

Looks exactly like the same evening glamour fodder they run on local TV here...

Only problem is once you've seen one 'vibrant' nightspot, you've seen them all.

And I'll bet those TV people don't work out of a jar filled with London district names written out on folded up paper bits either.

But then, maybe it's time for DG to investigate a few nightspots... maybe even start up a youtube video portfolio of travelogue videos?

My jamjar only comes into play every three months, so you'll have to wait until after Easter for the next random borough visit.

Also, I can assure you that DG will never start up a YouTube portfolio of travelogue videos.

Was it a jam jar or a honey jar?
I know this question has been raised before, but I don't think it was answered. It's important you know.

dg checks: Jam. Definitely jam.

I say no more.

I keen to see wassup in E18 these days. When I was there, it had a great cafe, all pink decor, bit strange but with great food. Also a real old fashioned cinema. The seats were aweful, but they may have been updated since '03. Nothing looks different on google maps, but then, they may not have been updated since then. I'm looking forward to still being around in 5 or 8 years time when you'll be able to fly down to ground level and look in the shop windows on google earth. Then I can geta better look at whether my frisbee is it taht tree in Wanstead village green. Now THAT would be cool.

Eurrrgh. The day they they get round to putting something up on N15, I'm moving.
