I know very little about fishing, but I do know that when I walk to and from work along the Kennet towpath, there are often lots of guys fishing, and I've never seen so many fish actually being pulled out of the water. So I guess that means the fishing is good :)
Family-run restaurant and takeaway. She is Thai, and larger than life, he is Nepalese. There are separate menus for each cuisine.
Fixed price Thai buffet on Wednesday evenings, similar Nepalese buffet on Sunday evenings.
Usual oriental standards plus some good and succulent individual dishes. Bhuteko chicken - chicken pieces fried with onion, ginger and coriander in (it says here) Nepalese village style.
John Madejski is a self made man and successful entrepreneur who made his money out of publishing. He is also from Reading. More recently he has been ploughing some of this money back into Reading, especially into the Football Club.
I'm not sure exactly how much of the Stadium he paid for, but it was certainly a big percentage. Hence the Stadiums name. It is very modern, being only a few years old. It has been built to be extended (upwards) so if Reading hit the big time and get bigger crowds, they simply plug more seating in on top (you can see a white post sticking out the roof in this photo, which is what this is for).
This photo shows Reading playing the Top of the Table Ipswich Town on January 22nd 2005. The ground is almost full. Reading are playing in the blue and white hoops.

Saying I live in Reading is not strictly true. I actually live in a very small Oxfordshire village on the outskirts of Henley-on-Thames. Reading is Henley's closest big town and is where I am currently working and where I also spent a great year living with a couple of mates. For the benfit of this site, I will write about Henley and stick to mentioning just some of my old haunts from Reading.
