ANGELA Kelly takes a personal look at the week in cyberspace in Bolton:

Saturday introduced Bolton's new night-time manager, Laura Miseo. She will be calling on licensees to come together to make drinkers in the town the best behaved in the country. Good luck to her - the town centre definitely needs comprehensive action to improve its image and tackle drunken yobbish behaviour, and this is certainly a positive step forward.

Little Jake Parsisson will be cheering on his favourite team, the Wanderers - but only when he learns to speak. The nine month-old became one of the youngest ever season ticket holders when his football mad mum and dad, Jane and Mark made him an official fan. Good habits definitely start early!

Monday chronicled the excellent start in the Olympics made by Great Britain's one-man boxing team, Bolton lad Amir Khan. He endeared himself to the country, but probably alienated plenty of Greeks, by beating the home representative Marios Kaperonis in the first round of the lightweight category. Amir is only 17 and undoubtedly bound for great things. He's not only talented, but has great self-belief - a vital recipe for sporting success.

Queen of Pop, Madonna, showed her sharp grasp of the importance of image plus talent during her Reinvention Tour in Manchester. At 45, she's still a stunner in all senses but, sorry, I just don't like those muscles - her arms look like an Olympic weightlifter's.

Tuesday continued the sports' theme with pioneering medical treatment, the brainchild of Bolton consultant Sanjiv Jari. The Manchester Sports Medicine Clinic at the Beaumont Hospital is specialising in tackling sports injuries with the minimum of invasive treatment, which is proving excellent news for both amateur and professional sportsmen and women.

Readers seem to have divided views about plans to turn Bolton Market Hall into a futurustic shopping centre. Some welcome the move while others are very concerned about the historic Grade II listed building, and about the future of the market traders. Personally, it makes no sense to have a market hall without market traders, and we need to proceed carefully with any development plan that threatens both heritage and livelihoods.

Wednesday had a happy story about a couple who got together thanks to a small advert. in the Bolton Evening News after 30 years.

Vall Duffield and Michael Hawker used to go skating at the Nevada as teenage sweethearts, but fell out over a silly argument. They both went away, and married other people, but never forgot each other. Now, reunited they have married and are living happily in North Wales. Aaah!

Thursday showed how young Bolton mastermind Jessica Colderley left the presenter of TV's Junior Mastermind, serious newsman John Humphreys, red-faced when she corrected him about historic fashions. She is obviously destined to do well in life!

On a more serious note, Bolton Show - due to be staged at Leverhulme Park at the weekend - s had to be cancelled due to a waterlogged ground. While this is a sensible decision under the current, soggy circumstances, it is bound to pose questions about drainage at the town's major parks and about future maintenance.

Friday revealed a lovely story about the quaintly named local women's soccer team, the Flaming Noras who are struggling for opponents. Only one team is limbering up to compete in a new five-a-side football league at the Bolton Arena: the Noras.

And the town's top achieving youngsters at A level were revealed. The future looks good for five Turton High School pupils who are off to medical school to become doctors, and equally good for Canon Slade pupil Joel Gill. He got six A grades but is taking a year out to work as a youth pastor at his school, helping other pupils. Good stuff.
