Say hello toFlorrie - She's musically ship-shape in Bristol fashion, always equipped with a beat & melody -and has a voice and face you won't forget. She's sort of like a fabulous Julie Christie-inspired musical Pied Piper for the 21st Century that you take an instant liking to. And Florrie Arnold, she's a charmer, this one! -----

I wrote about the bid process on my blog on Monday and just loved Australia's bid videos, esp. the one hosted by Nicole Kidman, which emphasized the sorts of things that real fans care about: fun, safety and ease-of-access and no hassles. http://hallandalebeachblog.blogspot.com/2010/11/even-before-2018-2022-fifa-world-cup.html
As you know by now, the announcements about who'll be hosting the 2018 and 2022 FIFA spectacles are to be made on Thursday, or Friday Australian time.
Nicky Campbell talked on his BBCRadio 5 live show Tuesday morning with some very knowledgeable guests and well-informed listeners about Monday night's Panorama program and whether there'd be a backlash among the FIFA officials against England's bid to host in 2018, or whether the truth is more important than commerce.
The podcast for the informative program is here and well worth listening to: http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/fivelive/5lnpi/5lnpi_20101130-1045a.mp3 Tony Livesey’s show onBBC Radio 5 liveon Thursday December 2nd will originate from the City of Manchester Stadium and "will gauge reaction to the FIFA World Cup vote which will have decided the host country for the 2018 World Cup."
"Win or lose, a panel of football pundits will discuss the result including former Hull Boss Phil Brown and 5 live football commentator Connor McNamara, and an audience of 5 live listeners."
It airs 10:30 p.m.-11:30 p.m. U.K. time, or 5:30 p.m. Eastern/2:30 p.m. Pacific in the U.S. and Canada. Catch it here at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/bbc_radio_five_live
