In his Iceland Hour address, President Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson said: ‘The people of Iceland have always been proud and honoured to share our country with others, to invite you to enjoy the contrast and the colours: the fjords and the valleys, the lava-fields and the glaciers, the lakes and the rivers. Iceland is indeed a country where one can still witness the creation of the earth. Nature has had a profound impact on our culture and our history, as we can see in the sagas, and the stories of the elves, the hidden people and the trolls.’

Here’s hoping our Facebook app will help people share their own stories about this enchanting land.

With a little tweaking, we can add in whatever social network is flavour of the day (hello Google Buzz and Diaspora, goodbye MySpace), and we’ll be rolling out new versions for other Virgin Media shows soon. Watch this space…

Here’s our favourite recipe:

Berry Caipirinha
A fruity twist on the Brasilian national cocktail

INGREDIENTS

• 60ml Cachaca
• 10 Fresh Raspberries
• 6 Fresh Blackberries
• 4 Fresh Strawberries
• 1 Lime
• 2 Teaspoons Caster Sugar
• Garnish: Mixed Berries

Chop the lime into chunks, and muddle with fruits and sugar in the glass half of a boston shaker. Add cachaca and a scoop of crushed ice, mix thoroughly with a barspoon, decant into a rocks glass and top up with crushed ice.

Well, distribution between the speakers in terms of opportunities were very even. In the BBC transcript (pdf file) Brown and Cameron both produce 34 paragraphs of text, with Clegg only 2 behind, whilst David Dimbleby vigorously maintained control of proceedings, with 81 paragraphs to his name.

It may come as a surprise that ‘tax’ and ‘cut’ were the terms that Brown stuck to very tightly (counts of 55 and 30 respectively). Cameron got in 37 counts of ‘government’ and Clegg went in for ‘money’ and ‘pay’ more than either of his opponents.

We’ve opened up the document to phrase mapping (experimental!). So if you want to add in your own phrases e.g. ‘my best mate Obama’ and check the rhythm of that phrase throughout the document you can do. We’ve also extended our analysis somewhat and you can now check the full list of filtered words.

View the augmentation and analysis here.

As always if you have any suggestions or want to get in touch we’re more than happy to talk about it, so get in touch.

‘People’ and ‘country’ were still the most common terms, but ‘money’ and ‘system’ made way for ‘Europe’ and ‘change’. Have a look for yourself here.
