Love London? Here's a thread about the Isle of Dogs in the 1980s, using the incredible photos of Mike Seaborne. Should we begin? Locals call it ‘the island’.

But these days, it’s probably better – though incorrectly – known as Canary Wharf. The area we're referring to is the Isle Of Dogs, that chunk of east London formed by a loop in the River Thames. You’ll have seen it on the credits to EastEnders.

Progressive house is 32 years old. How did a genre that appeared in the autumn of 1991 change the soundtrack of clubbing in a few weeks?It's time for a thread about the golden age of progressive house. And yes, it does have one. Feb 1992, Birmingham. I walk into Pure Records. Recently, I've been hearing records that don't conform to my fave sound: piano tracks made by people called "Gino". I dismiss the new music as "boring". Then I'm played this. I buy it immediately.

My personal history of house music: 1987-95

1987. I’m 15. The cool, older lad by ours tells me about “this house music we’re all dancing” to.

He gives me a tape. I like it.

But there’s no change in culture. You still have to wear a shirt and tie to get in a club. 1988

I first encounter “acid house” on youth TV show, Network 7.

I dismiss it as “shit”.

Then I hear “Big Fun” in Wigan Pier.

Stanley Tucci is the best-dressed man on telly. Why? Because he dresses like the best-dressed people on earth: Italian pensioners. Here's how he does it… His key item is the unstructured Italian jacket. Forget the traditional English shape, Stan goes for a "Neopolititan" soft shoulder that sits beautifully on the body. A silhouette that's both smarter and more casual: and which looks great with jeans (unlike regular suit jackets).
