The word for Sunday 28.03.2010 is THRUST.

Today's word is thrust. When l saw what the word was todayl wondered how l was going to complete this challenge. I understand the word to mean to push forward sometimes violently. In films or on the TV they talk about and show someone thrusting the knife into someone! In companies you hear people saying someone is thrusting their way to the top. Anyway l was thinking about this word while l was walking through a park near Russell Square, when l came across this thrusting figure. He is called Eco Thunder Kid and made up of recyclable items just as plastic bottle tops, beer tops, plastic and so on. I think he is wondeful.
