As you'll be soon hosting some games in the near future, would you be able to tell me where the Olympic pools are? In Perth, Australia, there seems to be one on every street corner (private schools open to the public), yet in the UK, when I asked around I was told there were "about 3". One of which seemed to be restricted to a particular someone who doesn't look like she gets her hair wet that often (God bless yer, Ma'am). So where are they then?

While we're at it, could you also clarify the pronunciation of vice versa? I have heard it said Vicky Versa but there was no mention of a Vicky Squad in any old cop shows nor, as far as I know, does the US have a Vicky-President.

How do you pronounce 'finance'? More often you hear people on the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ saying 'fin-ance' rather than fine-ance. Which is correct?
Thanks.

Houston (as in Texas) is constantly mispronounced as "Who-ston" rather than "Hew-ston". Surely announcers must have heard the phrase "Hew-ston, we have a problem"?
