Today the Olympic Torch came to Nanning. Thousands of people turned out to catch a glimpse but many were disappointed including myself. Only those who came very early (around 6am) got to the roadside as later the roads were blocked off and many people were prevented from getting close enough to see the torch. It was still enjoyable walking the streets and seeing the Chinese celebrate the coming Olympic Games in Beijing. The Chinese are very proud of having the opportunity to host the games and I'm sure will do a great job.

So you use explosives to drop an 84-year-old bridge into the Guyandotte River. Then you use a crane to lift a large piece of the bridge to put it in a barge for transport to a steel recycling mill. But once the big piece of bridge is in the barge, you might hve to cut it some more, as this fellow was doing.

I remember doing the time warp - I also remember photographing the Torcher parade for the last 17 years...

Ian's nomination story
Although physically handicapped from an early age, Ian has never let this prevent him from pursuing his ambitions as a long distance runner. In order to compete in all the marathons that he has, he has to continue training even though he knows that he is likely to trip and fall many times. Alongside this, he works hard for his local running club and helps encourage the younger runners in their training as well as marshalling for local and national events. At work he is the epitome of selfless support, willing to help others for the benefit of the business whatever the personal cost - from staying late to making the multi bus journey into work at weekends to help resolve urgent issues. As a keen athlete, I know that Ian would also fully appreciate the honour of being the Olympic torchbearer.
