<br />
<blockquote><cite>Quote:</cite>Firefighters and paramedics were called in to free a man who became trapped in a flume at a swimming pool complex in Hampshire.<br />

Two fire crews and an ambulance were called to the Basingstoke Aquadrome on Sunday afternoon.<br />

The man was thought to have suffered a broken leg and then became stuck half-way down the flume.<br />

<br />
I'm reading Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby - enjoying this one, I've liked most of his books, especially How to be Good and About a boy.  Struggled with High Fidelity - one of the few books where I've thought the film was better.<br />
<br />
When that's finished I've got 3 Lee Childs to read - I'm working my way through the Jack Reacher novels.  Absolutely brilliant - can't put these down.  I had one brought for me last year when I was supposed to be bed-resting but I finished it in a day and now I'm hooked.<br />
<br />
I would also recommend Lynda La Plantes book's about DI Anna Travis - two have been made into TV dramas.  Clean Cut - the third one is another good read.]]></description>

<blockquote><cite>Quote:</cite>Ever wondered how Committee’s are organised, agendas set or minutes reported?<br />

If the answer is yes, then this could be the post for you.<br />
<br />
This is a challenging role in which you will provide a comprehensive, cost effective and efficient support service for the democratic process.<br />
<br />
Your main responsibilities will include:-<br />
Secure the delivery of high quality committee services.<br />
Making full use of ICT – Enhanced Members Portal being one example.<br />
Attending evening meetings (Committees and Full Council – this can sometimes be 2 nights in one week and can be long meetings) to record the meeting via “minute taking”.<br />
<br />
You will be required to attend evening meetings to take minutes. Any hours worked during evening meetings will form part of your annualised hours.<br />
<br />
Enhanced Members Portal training will be provided. Committee administration training will also be given in the form of course(s) held by South East Employers.<br />
<br />
You will be required to work under an annualised hours working pattern, equating to an average of 28 hours per week over the year. You will therefore be required to work flexibly to meet fluctuating demand in workload.<br />
<br />
**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN INTERNAL VACANCY AND ONLY EXISTING EMPLOYEES OF BASINGSTOKE AND DEANE BOROUGH COUNCIL CAN APPLY. REGRETTABLY WE WILL BE UNABLE TO CONSIDER YOUR APPLICATION IF YOU ARE NOT AN EXISTING EMPLOYEE OF THE COUNCIL** </blockquote>

I find this rather a waste of money in the current climate, or am I being a what is it you call it? 'Doofus'?]]></description>

The owner's been put back inside! And these dogs just seem to be left indoors all day.  They break into the gardens of the neighbouring houses ...... it seems cruel but if you report it the anyone then it's likely that these dogs will end up being put down...I'm also worried that they could hurt a child next time they escape - because of the size they are?<br />
<br />
They've totally destroyed my sisters garden because they were chasing her cats but she won't call the dog warden because as a animal lover she is worried they will be destroyed?  Thoughts.....]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Now I have had Sky TV for the 9 years I have lived in my house. And for 9 years I have paid without complaint because it's a choice I make to have Sky TV.<br />
<br />
However, I received a letter advising me that my monthly subscription is going to increase by £4 to £46 per month. As stated it is my choice to have Sky TV but what do I actually get for my money?. <br />
<br />
I have noticed that more and more channels are repeating the same programmes or the programmes are basically the same format with differing titles, Location, Location location or Relocation. Bargain Hunt - Cash in the Attic. Repeats of the Saint, Films that I have seen numerous times before. A whole day of two and a half men, which was the same as the week before. Super Nanny, it's me or the dog, the dog whisperer. Basically what I am saying is I am desperate to get my teeth into something new. Something fresh, not another bl**dy repeat. <br />
Even Saturday Kitchen was a repeat of this seasons best bits. <br />
<br />
TV and programming is in poor shape, were spending more an in my opinion the quality is getting worse. maybe I should just cancel my subscription and listen to the radio.. even then the track listing seems to be on a 4 hour loop.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone.<br />
<br />
Was attending "Balloon over Basingstoke" festival as usual on my bike and with camera... <br />
Wasn't good day for pictures, just one balloon was there and not for long period of time. So anyway.  I was coming back to my Old Basing and have decided to try some new rout to that area. I took new road to cross ringway via foot bridge. I saw that bridge when was driving with family to Festival place earlier. <br />
<img src="http://www.imagechicken.com/uploads/tn1281224155034368100.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: tn1281224155034368100.jpg&#93;" /><br />
<br />
There was lovely new houses. Nice and quite around even if busy road very close i didn't hear any noise.<br />
<br />
I found very easy way to that bridge (of course i was standing on pavement and have been browsing google map on my HTC desperately trying to found any way to that bridge). New way home become surprisingly interesting except one small part of my rout.<br />
<br />
this one:<br />
<img src="http://www.imagechicken.com/uploads/1281224333006943900.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: 1281224333006943900.jpg&#93;" /><br />
<br />
Try to take guess what was there what make me think about it all my evening?<br />
<br />
answer very simple. Follow the link:<br />
<a href="http://www.imagechicken.com/uploads/1281224477025737100.jpg" target="_blank">Click here if you ready!!!</a><br />
<br />
<br />
And that bridge full of it!!! <br />
As you can see from the map - it is closed local area...<br />
<br />
What can I say on conclusion: having dog it is not just have lovely pet - it is also responsibility on front of community. If this responsibilities can't be committed, what else... <br />
<br />
And please don't think i am don't like dogs. I am thinking about 3-4 years to get one. But I should be ready to commit this responsibility for my local community. And I am not ready yet.]]></description>

There was lovely new houses. Nice and quite around even if busy road very close i didn't hear any noise.<br />
<br />
I found very easy way to that bridge (of course i was standing on pavement and have been browsing google map on my HTC desperately trying to found any way to that bridge). New way home become surprisingly interesting except one small part of my rout.<br />
<br />
this one:<br />

<br />
Try to take guess what was there what make me think about it all my evening?<br />
<br />
answer very simple. Follow the link:<br />
<a href="http://www.imagechicken.com/uploads/1281224477025737100.jpg" target="_blank">Click here if you ready!!!</a><br />
<br />
<br />
And that bridge full of it!!! <br />
As you can see from the map - it is closed local area...<br />
<br />
What can I say on conclusion: having dog it is not just have lovely pet - it is also responsibility on front of community. If this responsibilities can't be committed, what else... <br />
<br />
And please don't think i am don't like dogs. I am thinking about 3-4 years to get one. But I should be ready to commit this responsibility for my local community. And I am not ready yet.]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[Do you agree with David Cameron view that council housing should no longer be for life?<br />
<br />
My step-mother's mum lives in a 3-bed council property in Popley 4 (alone) that the council have asked her to give up and move to a smaller property so that a family can have her home but she refuses because of her 'memories'.<br />
<br />
Is she being selfish?  Is she denying another family the chance to have 'memories'?  Or is it selfish to expect her to move from the area she is familiar with, friends, shops etc?<br />
<br />
It's a difficult one!  I know we will hear all about the nasty Tories... but is it fair for a lone person to be living in a large family home with so many on the waiting lists?]]></description>

<a href="http://www.basingstokegazette.co.uk/news/local/8295917.Pick_me_to_be_your_beauty/" target="_blank">http://www.basingstokegazette.co.uk/news...ur_beauty/</a><br />
<br />
Let's get this right, we are encouraged to vote for her because she comes from Basingstoke? I thought it was a beauty contest, not a town contest. Surely we need to see the other competitors before we judge who to vote for? She may be pretty and if I was in to beauty contests (which I'm not) then I may be tempted to vote but not before I'd seen the rest of the runners.<br />
<br />
Before we vote on the grounds that she is from here perhaps she should be telling us what she is going to do for the people of Basingstoke if she wins. In my very limited experience of models they are motivated by vanity and self interest - though I'm prepared to admit I'm wrong in her case if anyone has any evidence to the contrary.]]></description>

I find it odd that these "people" would register &amp; then not post. Are they an already existing forum member or someone who has left under a cloud of shame??? <br />
Either way I smell something fishy.]]></description>
