2.14pm: Here's an intriguing piece written by Indian blogger AmreekanDesi, headlined "Open Letter To [Commonwealth Games Federation chief executive] Mike Hooper": A good guest is nice to the host.
While I have some ideas, I'd love it if someone could recommend a nice place to host about 150 people with drinks, food and other goodies.
And while Google is being nice enough to host a live stream on YouTube (something which News Corp./Apple will almost for sure not do), it will still be a pain to extensively cover both.
Host Ed Sheeran told the crowd: "I'm very excited to be here, Italy is one of my favourite countries.. it's nice to be hosting a show here".
Things you may not think of but will most likely need include: A compact mirror, makeup for touch ups, a small comb/ brush, car keys, money for a taxi (in case you decide to drink), camera (optional), cell phone, taxi service numbers, friends numbers, families numbers, pen and paper (to write phone numbers of new found friends) and possibly something nice to give to the host/ hostess.
"It's so nice to have a co-host literally sweep you off your feet," Ripa said.
"My host family was very nice to me, but one day coming home from school the daughter was smoking a cigarette.
"It's just nice to see old friends on common ground; no-one the host or the guest".
He added: "I think it's nice to go to another part of the world, with people who have never hosted the World Cup.
"It's nice to smile; it's nice to chew.
