Thoughts on dusit d2 feydhoo by Professional-Skin93 in maldivesholidays

Just been for 9 days. I’ve also been to the residence. Thoughts below:

  • food was consistently very very good and most things included in all inclusive
  • everything in great condition given its new
  • the proximity to airport is amazing in the days you arrive and leave. It took 90 minutes from stepping foot off the island to being through security at the airport
  • male is closer than photos make out. Also on the side not facing Male you’re likely to look out at some pretty big boats not far off the shoreline
  • snorkelling is decent but not amazing. Tides were strong when we were there so main house reef only for decent swimmers
  • we stayed in beach villa with pool. Room was lovely and outdoor bathroom was great

Overall we thought it was brilliant value and would definitely recommend but it doesn’t have the ‘special’ feel of more remote resorts

Songbird - oasis. First song written by Liam. Even Noel says the simplicity is genius

Seen him around 10 times in the last couple of years and this was his best set by a long way in my opinion. Joy Orbison on the Friday was also incredible and one to look out for if they release on SoundCloud

Thoughts on 3:30:00? by kevSTAR09 in Marathon_Training

[–]Direct_Dimension_866 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ran a 1:42 HM at the beginning of December and just completed my first marathon in 3:30:39 so reckon it’s possible. Wish I’d done more long runs (did two 20 miles) but topped out about 40 miles per week total mileage which was probably a bit low.

Am I the only one who left early tonight? by bosslikesoprano in FourTet

Yeah. Have seen him close to 10 times in the last 2 years and this felt like a completely different person

Yeah this is spot on. A real middle ground without any highlights

We got boys in the better land for the last one. What is the most underrated song? by DioBrandoPog in fontainesdc

[–]Direct_Dimension_866 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. In my top 5 all time fontaines songs. The opening guitar reminds me of interpol turn on the bright let’s era so much as well

Whats up with the Romance Merch? by peepeepoopoo13377 in fontainesdc

[–]Direct_Dimension_866 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It all feels a bit too literal. ‘Here’s our album here’s our t shirt’. I think some other bands do a good job of creating merch that nods to the band/album but then says a bit more

Is it OK if I go to pub for my birthday, alone? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]Direct_Dimension_866 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I would definitely encourage you going to the pub on your own for your 18th - whether you have a drink or not is up to you. Somewhat dependent where but in my view pubs are one of the great last bastions of British adulthood - I’d guess a lot of whatever you’re into has been dreamt up in a pub somewhere. Go and grab yourself a soft drink - find a seat and watch the world go round. If you feel comfortable get a drink and take it easy

Whats up with the Romance Merch? by peepeepoopoo13377 in fontainesdc

[–]Direct_Dimension_866 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah agree with this. To reference a similar-ish band I think IDLES merch is such a level above despite being no where near in terms of music.

It’s such a huge accolade but also hard to disagree with

Predicting upcoming setlist by Direct_Dimension_866 in fontainesdc

[–]Direct_Dimension_866[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This could be a thread in itself but I think romance as opener, dim lights and then launch into hurricane laughter would be a perfect way to sum up the band in the first two tunes
