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...

19:48 Semi fast to Watford

Good evening. Yes, as you can see it's a late train home for me, but there we go.

Glad u liked the 'yo mamma' joke yesterday. Will pull out another one when ratings start to dip!

I hope you are all coming out on Sunday to see the 1,000 boats parade on the Thames. They are expecting 1m people to turn out and that doesn't include the Queen. It says in the paper that there will be 13,000 officers guarding her. Nice...

Gonna do Sports stories next. Mario Balotelli has said he will kill anyone who throws a banana at him. Presumably, starting with his hairdresser, who's put one on his head...

There is a story about a top city lawyer who has been jailed for 3 years for committing expenses fraud of £1.2m. Errr harram...He's paid it all back now so that's ok right...

Thought of the day: You know you're on shaky ground when your new business cards are just Post-It notes...

Today's exciting story at lunchtime. So I went to Boots (meal deal £3.79 where I find the most expensive veg sandwich, crisps and that smoothie that is £2.50 on its own saving £1.80). Sorry I digress.

Anyhow, I go downstairs to also pick up some vitamins now located next to the photo centre where this bloke is having a chat with the photo man who had come in to pick up his holiday pics.
The photo man kindly asked him if he wanted the negatives, which the chap thought was rather a good idea. until the bloke goes "Your wife's got big teeth and a saggy bum."

Boom! Now it's time for a lovely sleep so see you tomorrow.

Good Evening. And that was the end of the lovely weather me thinks. Maybe I should have worn the suit jacket me thinks...

Still, nice whilst it lasted huh...there a rude joke there but lets move on...

There are no alien heads to capture so far, but watch this space.

Just reading that a scientific expert has said that modern technology will soon abolish the need for paper altogether. Sure... let's see him wiping his bum with an iPad...

There are 2 blokes chatting away. let's listen in!

Bloke 1 is asking his mate if he had always been faithful to his wife.

Woah , this is an interesting conversation for the 18:27 all stations to Uxbridge me thinks!

Bloke 2 has replied "In all the years I've been married, my lips have never touched those of another woman."

Wowza! That's commitment me thinks. Hang on, there's more...

"It's just prostitutes don't like that sort of thing."

Ahhh, wasn't expecting that!

Ahem. Best to probably leave it there! Have a great sleep!

18:35 Semi Fast to Watford

Well hello there people. And what a fantastic weekend of lovely weather. We did a touristy thing of walking in Green Park, past Buck palace then all the way to Tower Hill and London Bridge. The good news is that despite reports to the contrary, it doesn't appear to be falling down. Phew!

It made us think how lucky we are to live in London and we still have the Olympics to come!

This blog is sponsored by Boris Johnson and the City of London Corporation...

Right, let's get on with the show...

My dog has a very big ego. Everytime someone knocks the door, he runs to it barking, assuming it's for him...

Headline today is : " A police visit for all crime victims". Woah! What about if the offence was being taken in by fake coppers?

Oh forgot to tell you about a drama we had on Friday. I called out a 24 hour plumber but when he got here he didn't seem to know what he was doing. I said to him, "So how long have you been a plumber?" "24 hours." He replied...

Seriously, there was a riot in our street last night, when we found the hosepipe ban is not going to be lifted. Luckily the police brought it quickly under control with the use of water-cannon...

Still standing as I haven't got a seat on the new (rubbish) train and we are already at Baker Street.

Watched the Semi finals of the Voice and the two favourites are out! (is it cos I is black?)..sadly it most probably is. Not sure a black person has ever won a public vote. And no, Leona Lewis don't count as a) she a horse and b) she is of mixed breed.

So who watched Eurovision contest on Saturday? What were we thinking? Hump, I know your a Leicester boy, but it was always doomed to fail. I liked the Russian grannies act the best. Do you think that the reason they were all shapes and sizes is so they can fit into one of those Russian dolls at the end?

My neighbours kid has actually just got back from Baku. Not sure how it's going to help with his exams but his parents kept telling him to 'go and do Eurovision'....your revision..get it...

And on that note, probably best to wish you a great sleep!

18:04 All stations to Uxbridge

Whoo hoo, (you know the rest..)

Lots of beautiful people out and about. Which reminds me, you've got to admit Madonna looks great for 53. She has the body of a man half her age...

Seriously, I love the hot weather, all the short skirts come out. Although Preeti thinks I have a gender issue and shouldn't wear them...

I can't believe how many men are still wearing suits and ties today. Who are these people? The men in black?

Saw the trailer to the 3rd one and it looks crap. Gonna try and see Avengers instead over the w/e.

Err, headline in the paper is about a lloyds banker accused over £2.5m fraud. Using false invoices. Err haram...
And her job title, "head of fraud". Well I guess she lived up to that!

Also a story about a lorry carrying vodka exploded, unfortunately the driver died so no punchline on that one.

Fact of the day: The head of a fly is almost completely made up by its eyes. Yet it takes 30 minutes for it to escape from my window sill...

Not much going on the tube to report...

Thought of the day: Ironic isn't it that every time you see an obese person they're always wearing trainers...

Thought of the day 2: It's a speed bump, Get over it...

Ok, time to tell you about an incident that happened at lunch time today. So we were in the Cartoonist Pub (having an orange juice) and this girl sitting on the next table sneezed and her glass eye flew out and landed in my hand. I took it back to her and she was really grateful and chatted to me for about 30 mins (Don't tell Preeti). Eventually, I had to ask her if she was friendly with everyone to which she replied "Only those that catch my eye..."

Thank you and good night! Wishing you a lovely sleep,

23rd May 2012 -The Rap Home

Sunny hot day

Today, I thought rather than the normal routine, I should do a rap poem.

Here we go:

Eyes of a Hawk
They call me Kawks

Capture the image, capture the time
7ft lady, your legs are mighty fine

Ride the Met Line
When its working
18:42 on the dot
Hey kid, no need to wipe your snot (on the seat)

Hey lady, why you gone pink
Hey man, why you stink
Use some spray, make our day
Save me walking away

Hey curly hair lady, why you speaking french
Jaime jealous, jaime jealous

Seat free, everyone eyes it up
Slide and shuffle, slap and shout
Do what you need, its a jungle out there (and the smells to go with it)

Sikh man looking at cricket scores
Tapping your foot like you made a four

Music too loud, he don't care
He's not proud, but I'm not a fan of harmonica music

Kindle lady, woah slow down
Not read the last page
Who did the murder?
Was it the clown?

Met line you are like the United Nations
All colours and shapes
If that shape is a brown grape

Tru dat and a bit deep
Wishing you all a great sleep

18:14 All stations to Uxbridge

Hello there. I'm back! Let's not mess about and start with some breaking news. The inventor of the television remote control has died at the age of 96. Have they tried turning his batteries round and smacking him against the coffee table?...

Boom. And who is thinking...wow this is too hot, bring back the drought? Nope, me neither...

Headline today is "house prices fall in London". Woah, and that's the first time in 30 months.

There is another story about the police who have been told to cheer up and smile for the Olympics! Why wouldn't they? They have had all their leave cancelled for it...

Omg, on the front page it says that Harry Rednapp could join Liverpool. Hmm. Interesting...

Whinge time: I hate it when I'm walking around the park and a dog shits and people just walk off and leave it. I'm like, "Excuse me, are you not going to pick that up?"They reply with things like, "Errr no...it's your dog."

The tube has come to a big standstill as there is something broken at Baker Street. Thankfully the new(rubbish) train has A/C and I've got a seat so that's something I guess.

Will:I am has said he wants to make London his new home. Great, will do wonders for sellers of auto tune gadgets in the UK. Also Geri from the spice girls is in line to take over from Kelly as an x factor judge.

There is a 7ft lady who decided to dress appropriately for the weather. See pic..I could only get half of her in the picture...ok boys that's enough, you can get back to the blog now...

Interesting to see how Facebook shares went down yesterday (Zuckerburg is $2bn poorer than he was at the weekend). Aww.

So as some of you know, Preeti has nagged about my snoring and to get some wax plugs to sort it out, I've only gone and sorted it. I can't hear her bloody moaning now...

Final thought for the day: It's amazing how many posers with convertibles suddenly need some urgent groceries on a day like today...

Right, let's leave it there (especially if your still looking at the pic!) and have a lovely sleep...

Whoo hoo. Ladies and Gentlemen the weekend has started. There are people dancing and singing and records playing. Ok, so most people are knackered and asleep on the way home but you got happy for a sec right?

There is a Kawks lookalike (bald, muchi and under 5ft 3 (judging by the way his feet are dangling from the seat)) and he is reading Geoffry Archer and that's where the similarity ends!

There is a lovely couple who are doing a lot of hugging. Let's see inside their bag. It's a waitrose bag (la di da) and it has what looks like a meal for 2, some coleslaw (finest quality), some chocolate fudge pudding and that's all I can see. The man has a posh luggage bag with the LHR tag still on. So that explains why they were so happy right. just don't tell her husband.

There is a lady who has just got on at Great Portland Street who must be listening to some really powerful music as it has lead to some musical tattoos appearing behind her ear!

Err, just read that some top muslim politicians says that some Pakistani men believe 'white girls are fair game'. Err harram...

One for the team in the office: Why did Facebook go public? Because they couldn't work out the privacy settings either...

Sound advice for the day: "Turn that music down now, it's way too loud".

Ooo, forgot to tell you about a dude who stopped me as I was approaching Farringdon station.

"Can you spare 20p please, I'm homeless."

To which I replied "You won't find a house for 20 pence round here mate."..

Right, that's your lot, have a wonderful w/e (as I'm tired to type week end...doh!) and a lovely sleep.

Hello. hello..hello. No, this isn't me with a tricky keyboard, but the lady next to me trying to use her mobile on the underground. Good luck lady...good luck.

Thought for the day: If I had a pound for every time my mate moaned about equality,I'd give him 30p...

Headline today is "Death threat in council chamber' woah. Exciting stuff.

There is also fear for euro after billion is pulled from Spanish bank. Woah. Exciting stuff. Didn't know you could get more than £500 out a day...

Nothing too exciting to report on the journey or interesting (weird) people that have come to my attention.

Woah, just overheard someone say that Donna Summer (aged 63) has died. Won't do a joke as that would be insensitive...Especially as she worked hard for the money...

So this morning the boss phoned and yelled "Are you still asleep?.... You should have been here two hours ago!" I said "Why....what happened two hours ago?"...

Right, feeling sleepy now so let's call it a day there. Have a lovely sleep!

Good evening. Yes, sorry it's a bit late today but I'm here now.

I walked around with one hand raised, which got some strange looks at lunchtime. That's because I've been so used to holding my umbrella recently....

4 ladies have just got on at Kings X. Let's listen in as they are giggling.

"Jim lives in my area. John isn't that dedicated. He lives near the woods. Jim is apparently marrying a nice Indian girl...long long hair she has. Very beautiful. Wow, she sounds nice..if only I could meet someone like that...(see pic of Preeti whose hair only used to go down to her ankles)

'her family live in southall, and he like to go to Watford Temple. He has these dirty shoes. Apparently these are the only shoes he has.

Now they are talking about someone else who wears designer clothes and stilettos...nice.

Now discussing who should be John's new secretary. Apparently Jen would be a good choice. Wonder if that's the one with the designer clothes?

OMG. Just read that King Kenny has been sacked as Liverpool manager. He had been one their own as well! It's a feeling that's bound to grow even stronger now he's unemployed...

The women are still nattering but thankfully getting off at the next station.

There are another 2 women who look knackered (see pic).

Headline today is "bank warns of a Eurozone storm". Great that's all we need! More bad weather...

Before I forget, those painkiller adverts on TV are a really good way of promoting their product. They give me a bloody headache...

Actually, felt really good today as at lunchtime I brought a greek salad. Well, he didnt have any money...

Right, let's leave it there...have a lovely sleep!

Good evening. This draught just gets better and better. My umbrella has nearly worn out!

At lunchtime, I read that Americans spend more on coffee than they do on their children. How do they sleep at night?...

And we are off! Thanks for all the lovely likes for the more risqué Facebook update yesterday. Think I have found the tone of the audience!

Just looked at the chap across from me (see pic). Wondering to ask him if he is an accountant or tax inspector. Haven't seen that hairstyle since the Adolf days...

"Charged" is today's headline. Nope this isn't about an update to my battery status but the news that Rebekah and Charlie has been accused of hacking cover up. Errr...

There is also a story that Britain now has over 10m tweeters. Oh, that reminds me of a fact I learnt today at work. There are now more mobile phones (4.8bn) than their are toothbrushes (4.2bn). You can have that one for free for the next time you are on a speed date...don't forget to invite me to the wedding now...

Next story. Tougher sentences to be handed out to owners of dangerous dogs. Really? Most would struggle with the one above...

A new hub airport in the Thames Estuary would bring benefits to London for the next 500 years, it says here woah, why not just say 5000 years. it's not like you will be around to argue in yr 499...

Not a lot of people know this but
Preeti took my surname when we got married...So now I'm just known as Kawks...

Thought for the day: When horses get really hungry do they try and keep their distance from each other?

Ok, let's leave it there. Have a lovely evening and a great sleep!

How do you put a cork back in a champagne bottle? Ask a Man United fan.

Boom! What a weekend folks. How very exciting. Well played Man City, well paid...

The train is rather full for this time of day so I've had to squeeze between 2 people who really didn't want to have a 3rd person joining them. Hey ho, 'did that bag have it's own oyster card' I nearly said, but as I just tried to sit on it, they sort of got this gist and moved it.

So, I don't know about you but I think I'm getting addicted to EBay. In the last 7 days I have purchased the following items:

1. 2 x A23 Duracell batteries (doubles) for about £3.50 total

2. 10 packs of Black Ice Magic tree air fresher for the car. £7.30 (did you know that each one is supposed to last for 7 weeks)

3. 100 pairs of Rosemary Hopi candles. No price on that for commercial reasons. Preeti would kill me.

4. Diamond Peel face scrub. See above.

5. HP 21 and 22 ink cartridges for the deskjet. £18 (apparently filled with 3 times as much ink as the originals)

6. Fancy iPad stylus pen (Jot Pro) which came first in a recent survey. No price as ...see Preeti would kill me comment.

7. Coffee electronic whisk thingy. £1.98. It's coming from Hong Kong and should get here by mid June!

There some other stuff, but can't remember now.

Headline today is 'Heathrow in crisis warns airport boss'. Woah. It says it's only got 15 yrs to sort itself out or be reduced to a 'local airport'.

The whole JP Morgan team in London behind the losses were set to lose their jobs today too. Black Monday huh.

So this weekend, I was performing stand up for everybody at the O2 in London, when the manager came over and said, "Excuse me sir, this is a phone shop, not a comedy club."...

I've just read that David Cameron is planning to spend £1.4m on binge drinking by the end of 2012. Not exactly setting a great example there, David...

Right, that's enough nonsense for today, see you tomorrow and have a great sleep!

I have to say, hand on my heart, that I'm completely surprised that the doctor didn't sew me back up after the operation.

Boom! And we are off. This morning I didn't know what to make of the great yellow ball in the sky. It certainly has novelty value and long may it continue.

77 days to go. Thats very exciting. thank you for that.

British gas will be increasing prices by £100 in winter. Thank you for that.

Ha ha, I say to myself. Just read a story about a tapas restaurant in London what charged £3.40 for tap water because it was still served in a nice jug! How refreshing! not...

Oh dear. JP Morgan loses £1.2 BILLION after "London whale" takes huge gamble. Wowza. What the hell was the whale thinking!

This chap next to me is having a fun conversation with himself. It's going something like this: "I do not have OCD. I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder."

Thanks for that.

Before I forget, last weekend I was stuck behind this idiot with chocolate sauce and crushed nuts on his roof doing 15 mph. Bloody Sundae drivers!

Ahem, right I think we should leave it there. Have a wonderful weekend and a lovely sleep!

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. How very are you? Mid week already and all downhill from here.

So this morning, I burst out into the aisle of the plane and yelled, "Does anybody know how to fly one of these things!?"

Everybody stared on in horrified silence...

As the stewardess calmly asked me to sit down and put the kite away.

Boom and we are off.

There is an 87 year old man standing near the 'special seat' but the bloke sitting there is pretending he hasn't seen him as he is too busy playing bloody solitaire on his iPhone. Grrr, makes me mad. I mean at least play Angry birds or bowling 3D.

The tube has just pulled into Kings cross and a load of German girls have got on. They seem very excited. Lots of 'ya ya' going on.

"Bankers bonus backed by judges" is today's headline. The 104 bankers are now in line to get £42m. I will let you do the punchline on that one.

Ok formal joke for the day. What do you call Will.i.am when he's surprised?Will.i.never

The German girls left at Baker street and the level of "ya ya" has returned to normal levels again.

I've attached a pic of the penthouse that is for sale in the Shard. Yours for £50m. It says that you will be able to see the North Sea from it. Brilliant, just wait there whilst I go and get the deposit...

Let's end with the business news: 'Clinton Cards enters Administration'.

Thinking of you at this difficult time...

Well hello there people. I hope you had a lovely bank holiday weekend and enjoyed the rain. We went to Lester on Saturday which was nice, especially driving the shiny new car down the M1.

A massive thank you for continuing to read the blog and getting to the 5,000 milestone. I hope for those of you who are facebook buddies, you enjoyed the video rap/poem.

Lets check out the headlines. "Police question man after drowning." Yeah, let's see him tell us who bloody killed him.

Let's check out the real headline. "one last chance for 2012 golden tickets". Well there you go folks, start buying those chocolate bars from Friday.

So over the weekend I did one of those impulse buys on EBay. That's so sweet of you getting something lovely for Preeti I hear you cry. Well what can I say, I'm just an old romantic at heart. Well she is a special lady and thoroughly deserves the "Adonit Jot Pro Stylus" for the iPad. I'm sure she will be even more made up than that time last Christmas when I got her Black Ops. I've attached a pic of her just before I told her the good news...

There is a story about the terrorist's latest tool in their armoury. For someone who is expecting seventy odd virgins you gotta think wearing an underwear bomb is a bit risky...

There is a bloke who looks like 'curly watts' from coronation street on today's tube. What do you reckon? Next to him is that prison guard from Prisoner. See told you, the Met line (especially the fast Chesham service) is the tube that most celebs prefer to use...

We have come to a standstill outside Wembley Park. I was gonna do a joke about the Liverpool fans nicking the copper from the tube cables on Saturday, then thought better not as I'm a Liverpool fan too...

Let's end on thought for the day: Feminism is the belief that both sexes may become equal by focusing solely on one of them...

Whoo hoo. I don't know what you think about them, but thank you banks for the extra long weekend! (Technically isn't every Sunday a bank holiday too?)

Going to do stuff in a different order today just to keep it fresh. FACT: All the seasons are named after coils of metal. Except Winter and Summer...and Autumn.

I'm perched right on the end of a seat cos two blokes are trying to do the splits and taking all the space. Still, I,be sat down and slowing inching my way to being comfortable. Should get there by Harrow at this pace...

Headline is "Boris heads for victory". Hurrah! It didn't say the hurrah bit, that was just me.

There is a heart warming story about will.i.am about using his celebrity to help others less fortunate. I've learnt a fee things about him. His real name was William Adams and he's worth £46m. he is also Cheryl Coles manager...ahh explains the computer voice she uses! He also likes to give his money to worthwhile charities. (see previous sentence).

So last night, I saw my neighbour stealing my socks off my washing line. I was going to confront him but I got cold feet...

Right, gonna read up on the Chelsea v Liverpool FA cup final now so let's leave it there. Have a wonderful, extended bank holiday sleep.

Well hello there. Just looked at my viewing stats and we are nearly at the 5,000 views mark! You know what that means right blog readers? Yes that's right, one of my Rap/Poems from me to say thank you! So we are nearly half way to the goal of 10,000 views and then the gig goes live...I've booked out the work auditorium for 12th September 2012 based on some analytics of viewing figures to date!

Everyone on this tube is looking quite happy today and I wonder if that's because Thursday's are now the new Fridays, so no one is going to go into work tomorrow...

Today's headline is "Final polls put Boris in the lead". Well, there you go.

There is also a story about the art painting "The Scream" being sold for £74m. Wowza. It was expected to go for £50m and the new owner is rumoured to be the Qatar royal family.

I'm going to spend the rest of today giving you some extracts from letters written by council tenants:

1. It's the dogs mess that I find hard to swallow.

2. I want some repairs done to my cooker as it has backfired and burnt my knob off.

3. Their 18 year old son is continually banging his balls against my fence.

4. I wish to report that tiles are missing from the outside toilet roof. I think it was bad wind the other day that blew them off.

5. My lavatory seat is cracked, where do I stand?

6. Will you please send someone to mend the garden path. My wife tripped and fell on it yesterday and now she is pregnant.

7. The toilet is blocked and we cannot bath the children until it is cleared.

8. Our kitchen floor is damp. We have two children and would like a third, so please send someone round to do something about it.

9.This is to let you know that our lavatory seat is broke and we can't get BBC2.

10. My bush is really overgrown round the front and my back passage has fungus growing in it.

Ahem. I think we should leave it there! Have a lovely sleep.

Evening gang. Hope you all had fun today and good to see it didn't rain as this drought is costing me loads of money in sand bags...

Let's crack on with the headlines. "I want a Boris in every city - PM. 2 things about that headline.

1. Will Ken have to change his name to Boris if he wins

2. Who looks after the city in the morning?

There is also a story about the border guards going on strike next Thursday. Hmmm, not sure we will notice.

There are some olympic adverts on this tube. They are providing advice such as "Walking part of your journey may be quicker during the games". Agree with that, if part of the journey is where you normally catch the tube, bus, taxi or water boat previously. Thanks TFL, that's been helpful.

That reminds me, do you tend to put "that's very helpful" on your emails when someone sends you some random stuff so you feel like you need to say something but haven't got a clue what they just said. No? Ahh, just me then...

There are no interesting pictures to take on the tube today, so I've attached the cover to my book, which is available on iTunes if you have an iPad. Thanks to Yee Hung for the drawing, it's fantastic!

There is a story about a new cable car which will let you cross the river at heights of 90 metres. It can transport 10 people at a time. Woah, maybe I'll use that instead of the tube during the Olympics. It cost £60m to build. Great. that's helpful.

Texting damages children's language skills claims Sir Terry Pratchet. Woah nt sure the dude nose wat he's taking bout.

Hey, hey, have you heard about the new way to meet new people, keep up with friends and family, and see what's happening in the world? It's called going outside and getting a bloody life...

Got some sad news for you dear blog reader. I can't believe my best mate, Gavin, has died of severe heartburn.

Gav is gone...

Let's end on thought for the day: I don't understand fast food. I've been eating it for years but I seem to be getting slower and slower...

Right that's your lot. Have a lovely sleep,

Good evening folks. The gig at work went well, and some of the audience even pretended to laugh at my jokes. Thanks mum!

So, Roy Hodgson's got the top job I see. To be honest with you my dear blog reader, I think it's a good choice as he got a lot of experience of managing rubbish teams...

Did you see in this morning metro that bit about the artistic flair out there with the 'draw something' app, which is sweeping the nation! I'm thinking of submitting my pic of a unicorn. See below and let me know what you think...and to think back to when my art school teacher said 'you will only ever be good at computers and one liners'...well whose drawing now?...

Sorry came over all emotional there for a sec. Let's move onto the headlines.

"Murdoch unf". Actually I can't be bothered, looks boring...

So, at lunchtime I walked down to Robert Dyas (the one on Fleet Street).
