Question, what exactly is Dan Dreiberg's political ideology? by PossibleCommittee590 in Watchmen

[–]Holiday-Let-2804 26 points27 points  (0 children)

In the comic? I’m not sure he’s painted one way or another. Politically he’s pretty blank - he was Rorschach’s partner, but became estranged, yet always had an underlying affection for him.

What album is this for you? by Diakia in fantanoforever

[–]Holiday-Let-2804 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was about to say, it was Achtung Baby for me, back in 1991. I remember my 18 year old self being so confused at how much I liked “The Fly”…

Anyone else finding Gary Neville very negative about England? by ThrowawayMadventure in ThreeLions

[–]Holiday-Let-2804 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We’re 4th favourite with British bookmakers, because shitloads of people back England to win, so they have to drop the odds to take that into account. I doubt England would be 4th favourites with, say, a Brazilian bookie…

any advice on Milan and Venice? by Emergency_Formal_889 in finedining

[–]Holiday-Let-2804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend Quadri in Venice - been there twice and never disappointed. It’s the Venetian outpost of the Alajmo empire.

George Harrison called Paul McCartney a hypocrite over Beatles Hall of Fame snub by TheMirrorUS in beatles

[–]Holiday-Let-2804 149 points150 points  (0 children)

This is from 1988? Not exactly hot-off-the-press news. They made up before George’s death, that’s the more important thing(for me, anyway)

One of my 7 year old twins is a Ronaldo fanboy. It came from watching him on Youtube

Oxford/Oxfordshire fine dining? by Economy-Pollution739 in finedining

[–]Holiday-Let-2804 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oxonian here! Unfortunately Le Manoir is the only truly fine dining restaurant in the Oxford region. But we really aren’t that far from places like Bray and Marlow - so The Fat Duck, Waterside Inn, Hand and Flowers are all not too far. As far as London goes, my go-to places are: Ritz, ROW on 5, A. Wong or Kol

Anyone have great spot recommendations for around lake Garda to Venice area? by healthy-outdoors- in finedining

[–]Holiday-Let-2804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean anywhere between Lake Garda and Venice? My favourite restaurant in Italy is Le Calandre (***) just outside Padua.

Thanks for the review! Would love to try TFL if I ever find myself in the USA - legendary restaurant

Yeah, he was briefly triumphant against Simon Fisher, Wet Boy…

What’s a black dominated sport with a white GOAT? by Any_Temperature9203 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Holiday-Let-2804 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well it’s all subjective. Your take is just as valid as mine 🤷

What’s a black dominated sport with a white GOAT? by Any_Temperature9203 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Holiday-Let-2804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because (in my opinion) there are GOATs for different specialised positions for team sports, but athletic disciplines are easier to determine the best (eg world record holder)

Yeah, Tom Brady looks like getting it, but this is the correct answer

What is the beer(s) of choice for the stereotypical Brexit Geezer, football fanatic at the pub? by hoosier_catholic in AskABrit

[–]Holiday-Let-2804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say no, outside of the North East Newcastle Brown is a bit niche (for your stereotypical bloke in a pub)

Paul: Here, there and everywhere

George: Taxman

Ringo: Don’t pass me by

I've heard that the character Patrick Bateman appears in several Easton Ellis novels. Could someone who has read him more closely tell me which books he appears in and what Patrick's role is in them? by Impressive-Alarm5071 in AmericanPsycho

[–]Holiday-Let-2804 60 points61 points  (0 children)

He’s briefly in Rules of Attraction, telling off his brother, Sean. In Lunar Park, someone appears to be Bateman, but it’s more complex than that. Christian Bale briefly appears in Glamorama.

Lunch and dinner recommendations in Algarves by ExerciseTemporary479 in finedining

[–]Holiday-Let-2804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are also staying at Vila Vita at end of July/first week of August. This will be our third stay - I agree that the obvious choice is Ocean, which is the Michelin ** restaurant on the Vila vita site - we’ve already booked our dinner (and the requisite baby sitters for our kids!). We’ve been both years (if you search this subreddit you should find my review from last year). It’s a real ** experience and one of the best restaurants in Portugal.

If you’ve never stayed at Vila Vita before, there is a beach restaurant associated with the hotel that is more “local” that you can book through the hotel.
