Comments for Reading Roars! http://readingroars.com Bringing news and views from the roaring capital of the Thames Valley Tue, 07 Feb 2012 06:26:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 Comment on Top 10 things to do in Reading by Sarah http://readingroars.com/top-10-things-to-do-in-reading/#comment-64215 Sarah Thu, 21 Apr 2011 06:15:02 +0000 http://readingroars.com/top-10-things-to-do-in-reading/#comment-64215 Hi, I've always lived in reading and i completely agree "with the judge". It used to be a small town with not much promise but is great now for oportunites. There are some great cycling routes and canal paths to explore and the surrounding areas of reading make you feel as though your in the country but with a busy town centre cosmopolitan vibe. Having mentioned cosmo's "Sahara bar in Reading Town Centre, does the best "cosmo's" with high quality vodka and a great menu and staff. Also, nearby Pangbourne, has the best cheese shop on the high street, I would recommend it. Hi,

Skate park required? Get involved. Reading bars are rubbish? Open one. Nothing to do? Make it happen, get involved and stop offering lip service. All mouth and no nickers as my old man says Oh, final thoughts, if you live in Reading and don’t like the town the get involved, start or change something that you don’t like. Skate park required?

You are all right. Reading has its moments. Borne and bread 30 years. Living? Not whitley, oxford road, Cole park or tilehurst. Try early(bit out of it) or university area. You can still walk to town. Nightlife busy, a bit tiny hopper and most people will use the town for a release. It brings with it what you would imagine. But I have had many a good night out in reading. There are w few miss informed scroats that will claim that the town is 'shit' but I did as well at 18. I still went out in it though. It could be worse, it could be Plymouth. Do what I did. Live in leafy Twyford. Reading is 2 min on the train for shopping and London is 20 min for clubbing. Best of both worlds. Can’t help but laugh.

Seriously you need to complain about the service to facilities management in Microsoft. The park committee meets each quarter but apparently only one company ever raises issues with the bus service, with the others saying there are no issues.... Double deckers definitely do fit.

Some people here have set up an initiative to 'share everything' via a website called Taskedo. The idea, and it's excellent, is that we can all try to advertise stuff that we own and could rent out, our know how to potentially complete tasks for others and details on any trips we're making. http://www.taskedo.com The guys have got in the press a fair bit and it's a really popular thing locally.
