I'm bored and in that state of mind where I can't go to bed until a crap song comes on =/ So I wanna do a few claims to fame of the town that I live in before this good KoRn song finishes and I have to go:

Julian Barratt went to Reading University

Ricky Gervais comes from Reading

Nicholas Hoult goes to 6th form college in Berkshire [don't know if he comes from here though...I guess he does]

Reading Rock Festival [of course! Rock on!]

And um....voted worst place to bring up your kids this year 

And of course, I come from here, tell your kids that in about 5 years, it'll be huge!
