The Met Line Journal

The life and times of a small man called Min, his daily journey's from Rayners Lane to Farringdon.

This blog is an insight into the wonderful world of the Met Line, packed into chunky bites of random thoughts, the weird and the wonderful sites I see on my journey to and from work, and the odd comedy gag...

Read it and weep (with laughter)...

21st December 2011 - The last journey home of the year

14:42 All stations to Uxbridge

I am writing the last journey home blog for the year and can barely see the screen through the tears. Finished my last meeting this afternoon and as I'm officially supposed to be on my hols have left the office.

The train has 4 passengers on it, each in their own compartments, and I think this is the closest I will ever get to the 'Orient Express' experience...

Even the evening standard is a thin edition today, with today's headline being "police woman held in bribes probe"...errr. She was receiving bribes from journalists (who else!) for insider information.

Then there is an amazing story of a transplant surgeon who gave his own kidney to save his mothers life. Not sure how he took out his own kidney and put it in his mums body, but still very impressive and well done to you.

Today's advert is just the TFL one about 'going shopping this weekend' check for planned tube disruption. Thanks TFL, thanks very much for that.

In other news, Beckham is moving to Paris on a 4m contract, at the age of 37. He will be receiving 800,000 euros after tax a month, which will certainly help with Posh's eating bills...

Oooh, Oooh, Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol is out on Boxing day. And the trailer looks magnificent! That Indian actor is in it too, no not Amitabh, the other one who did Millionaire and Slum Dog and even was the Pakistan President in he last series of 24. You know who I mean right?? Anil Kapoor, that's right. Will deffo be taking dad to that.

There is a Japanese man sitting opposite me with a 'Max Utd' Nike bag.. They must either be a very famous club in Japan, or he's recently been to Wembley Market... He had a huge gash on his forehead, but I was a bit scared to ask him if that was cause by a samurai sword...

Today's thought of the day is "Where would we be without maps?"...

Finally for this year, Preeti rang to say she is leaving me because I keep on telling her rhetorical questions...What does she know?

Right, thats your lot, have a merry Christmas, have lots of Christmas Pasta and have a lovely new year.

Kind regards

A small man called Kawks
