An indian guy is walking down the street, he is surrounded by a gang of loyalists,
One asks:"Are you a fenian?"
Indian says: "I dont understand I am from Delhi?!"
They kick the shit out of him and say:
"It's Londonderry you fenian c**t!!"
:D

Historial? Yes. Cultural? I lived in it for a few years and can say no.

I disagree with you, history and the historical events that have occurred in Derry over the years are inextricably linked to the Culture of the 6 counties for both communities and as such Derry can claim to have as much culture as anywhere else in the 6.  If you are telling me Norwich or Birmingham are more deserving than Derry I would say rubbish.

Culture is such an ambiguous word nowadays anyway.

Who would have thought it - competing for the chance to invite the Brits back to Derry.

Imagine Grayson Perry dandering through Derry of a Saturday night! Broken ja's all round.

And 2013 is the 400th anniversary of the foundation of London Derry. ::)..before then, it was a pigsty.

istanbul is currently the European Capital Culture Can't really compare the two cities
The key to success is to be consistently competitive -- if you bang on the door often it will open

Couldn't help laughing at a report I heard earlier which mentioned "the benefits this would
bring to Derry".

Just as long as they don't allow Nadine Coyle to speak at the opening or closing ceremonies ;D

Downsides:

More crap songs from Phil Coulter
Gerry Anderson, Dana etc over exposed on all media.
John Hume canonised before death
