Spotted: Oxford Road

Ignoring, for a second, that it's parked in the loading bay, this has to be up there with the worst parking I've ever seen

While everyone is getting excited because one of these is named after matey boy off the telly, I think this is a much better name.

This is the waste

John Davies, a man who looks uncannily like Albert Einstein, was happy with the service he received at The 613 Club. Although, for some reason, when he goes back, it'll be with defiance.

S**t Things beats us to the story yet again.

Some of us have work to do you know?!

Just missing the 613 club.

These sketches of buildings along the Oxford Road High Street Heritage Action Zone (HSHAZ) area by Jo Romero are great!

Thanks, Jo for drawing them for the Reading . You can see more of Jo’s work here ➡ http://rdguk.info/PlK4d

Please someone teach me to be as cool as Abraham here. Only the biggest, toughest, motherf**kers can threaten an older guy that likes to share his love for Elvis with everyone.

Bellend.

Who's the bigger snowflake? The people who felt the name of a pub could do with updating, or those who think changing the name of a pub is comparable with erasing history?

I honestly gave zero sh*ts before, having read these comments I'd like them to change the name to 'The George Floyd' or something just to really p**s people off.

2000 Fans at Reading vs Nottingham Forest. Officials report the biggest crowd in years.

I haven't had a McMuffin in so long. I'll be there, I won't lie.

Breakfast is back at hundreds of branches of McDonald's from tomorrow Wednesday, July 8 - and if your local branch isn't on the list below it means you'll now be able to find you McMuffins again

This is Reading's rebranding is going swimmingly.

I'm not sure how this would work, logistically speaking, but I appreciate the sentiment

Well, that wasn’t supposed to happen, was it? Now what…? The wrong kind of fame The festival, Purple Turtle, Ricky Gervais. There are a few things that come up in conversations about Reading …

21/06/2020

Acts like these are designed to divide us. Our thoughts are with those families torn apart by this senseless act of violence.

Now more than ever our whole community needs to show solidarity. ❤️

20/06/2020

Maybe don't share the videos of the incident in Forbury all over social media. That could be anybody's child, and there's a good chance they won't know yet.

And please stop spreading misinformation. If you see anyone claiming it's a terror attack or related to the protests, maybe just wait a few hours before you contribute to the rumours.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected tonight.

In Japan it takes them like 2 days to fix these things, so I'm betting it'll take Reading council 2 months.

Eyewitnesses described hearing a loud 'metallic bang' before a large crack appeared in the middle of the A4 in Castle Hill

Breaking news

Major flooding over an hour ago which is probably pretty much cleared up by now.

Report not by PK

WE'RE LIVE AT MY HOUSE WHERE THERE'S FLASH FLOODING

REPORT NOT BY PAUL KING

Either PK has been fu***ng with us all along or someone needs to take a bow.

12/06/2020

The comments on the post from yesterday got pretty wild.

08/06/2020

First you break Paul King, now you make STiR have a tantrum... What is wrong with you people?

Hello everyone,

I'd like to offer a full and sincere apology for any recent posts on here which may have upset or offended anyone. I understand now that there is no place for irony, sarcasm or nuance in sh*tposting in 2020 and I will vow to make the necessary changes to ensure that there is no subtlety or context involved in my content from here on in. It's vital that people with minimal vocabulary skills don't misinterpret or misunderstand anything that's said.

Also, I've been taking sleeping pills recently. And if you don't believe that - I was hacked or something.

Yours sincerely,
STiR

Are the diet coke and wine included?
Why do you have so many cans of a drink you hate? Were you assuming they were alcoholic?
Is this a joke?
Do you deliver?
If you only know the approximate number, how can you be sure it works out as 31p per can?

05/06/2020

Coming to a street near you!

I thought we were supposed to be cutting down on plastics.

More police on the streets of Reading Thank you.

Reading Town Centre will now have 6 dedicated Special Constables that will join their shifts as and when they can. The Special Constables will dedicate the majority of their time to Neighbourhood Policing Team shifts in the Town Centre, increasing officer presence in the Town and helping to keep everyone safe.

They will join the other Reading Specials... some of whom are featured in this pic! 👇

Thank you to all of our Specials and volunteers for their amazing efforts. We all appreciate giving up your time to help us police the communities 🙌

Best thing about lockdown is we've actually had a chance to see our local MP, makes a change. Might not wanna get too close to him for a while though. Report by Saul Ting

Seems a fitting number of likes for an Oxford Road page. At least the smell of w**d masks the other smells 🤷‍♂️

That's more like it

Received a message asking us to share this. Please, if you have any information don't hesitate to get in touch.

Never tried her baguettes, but Elle's coffee is lush.

27/05/2020

Maybe we should take bets on how far back the queue will be when McDonald's reopens next week. Personally I'm going for Tesco Express.

08/05/2020

Video cut out unfortunately. Roads open now, three doors down from Tesco Express a police van and 2 more cars, couldn't get closer. No traffic collision so potentially something happening inside the house

08/05/2020

Oxford road shut down by police, tesco express to petrol station

Alright, which one of you is bullying Paul King?
