This must be the longest blog break I have done, not posting for around 10 days. But it has been Christmas and then New Year, so I guess everyone has been busy to just relaxing.
I hope that everyone had a good Christmas and New Year, and got themselves something good over the festive season, or bought stuff from the sales.
Over the next few weeks I’ll be showcasing what I got…
It’s been that time of the year again, it’s Christmas which means a few things, and in Newcastle it means the Fenwick Christmas Window.
In 2019 the Fenwick Christmas Window is Charlie and the chocolate factory. It’s not something I ever loved as a kid, but it’s a story that virtually everyone knows and remembers. This year it also has the Christmas Market to contend with, which is on Northumberland Street too.
As always, each window tells a different part of the story, and here’s every window for you to see if you haven’t already checked it out.
The Premier League has fully entered the digital age for the first time, with live streamed games on Amazon Prime. Since I am an Amazon Prime customer already, it’s good news for me. But what is it like?
I watched a couple of games on Amazon Prime in the past couple of days, and this has been my experience so far.
As you’ll know I am quite a fan of football and football documentaries and films, and this has been in my watch list for quite a while. Leeds United, Take Us Home is another football documentary, this one showcasing the 2018-19 season for Leeds.
I am somewhat of a veteran of football documentaries now (I should make a best of list), loving the Man City All Or Nothing doc, Inside Borussia Dortmund and Six Dreams to name only three. This one is of a similar structure, following Leeds through the 2018-19 season.
It’s that time of the year again, it’s time to give (or receive) presents!
But what is good to buy this year?
Whether you’re buying something for another guy, looking for ideas for presents to receive yourself, or even buying your own gifts this year, these are some ideas on what to shop for.
Here’s some ideas to get you started, and hopefully you’ll be able to get some good deals in the sales.
Amazon is getting a good reputation for it’s football documentaries. I’ve watched a couple of them, and when I saw Inside Borussia Dortmund, I had to watch it.
It’s a 4 part documentary which tells you exactly what it is from the title: Inside Borussia Dortmund, where it takes you on board and gives you a look back at the 2018-19 season.
No lighty, no likey! Take Me Out is back on our TV screens on a Saturday night!
As Paddy McGuinness says… Bring on the girls.
The last series was in January 2018, so series 11 has been well over-due, and it’s finally back on ITV tonight (26th October) and every Saturday night, from 19:15.
I was browsing around films to watch and wanted something light and funny to watch, and came across this film called The House with Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler. I like both of these actors, and so I decided to give this film a watch, although I knew nothing about it.
I was looking around for some films to watch on Amazon, and I spotted this film, Walk Of Shame. The title of course hooked me in, but other than that, I didn’t really know anything else about the film, so I decided to give it a watch.
It is fair to say, the film is not what I expected to watch. From the title and the character, as well as the way the film starts, I was expecting it to be some kind of stereotypical rom com kind of film, with some laughs, and the overall story being the girl trying to get the guy. But the film is not like that at all.
