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.

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.
Here’s what I thought it.

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.

Its promised to be a fashion show like no other, and it was. Friday 20th September saw the world premiere of the SAVAGE X FENTY by Rihanna show, and it was really good.
If you’ve never seen something like this before and think you’ll not like it, you’ll probably be surprised. It is more of an entertainment show, with music, dancing and of course the wears which are on show.

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.

Let’s talk about the minefield that is dating. It’s a crazy, scary and big world out there. The first date is the first step.
You eventually find a woman, ask her out, and at the end of the date the cheque comes…There’s the awkward feeling and a small moment…
Who pays on the first date?
There’s of course a ton of advice, some traditional, some more modern. Traditionally It was always expected that men would pay for women for the first date, and in fact for all dates, but we’re in a whole new world now. In fact, we’ve been in the modern times for years now.
Here’s my guide into the first date, and the awkwardness of who’s going to be paying for it.
