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)...

Got anything new to report? - Min's MinIT Update. Friday 25th October 2013

Well hello hello! How are we all? Judging by the look on the faces of my fellow Piccadilly line friends...tired!

Still, will be able to get an extra hours kip on Sunday with the clocks changing. (Woah min, your blog is not only a fun read but informative too)...

I like how the new weather app on IOS7 shows you the precise time for sunrise and sunset each day. I'm usually in the garden at these times just to make sure they have got their timings right. A couple of times the sun was a few minutes late...so perhaps the sun has adopted 'Indian timing' to accommodate me and my fellow indian families who live in our neighbourhood.

What's happening on the tube pic people: There is a lady reading a novel called 'Final Empire'. She seems to be about 79% through the book and is still awake. The dude next to her has just had one of those energy drinks, not redbull, the cheaper one you get for 37p from Aldi..and gulped it down it one go....and gone back to sleep. Nice...

Tube advert of the week: Lovestruck.com. It has a strapline of 'where busy people click'. Oh I see what they did there..must have taken ages to come up with that one. Guess they couldn't really go with 'This is REALLY your last chance, so make sure you photoshop your profile pic'...

Event of the week: and you thought I'd forgotten! Oh no! last Tuesday, was the apple launch of the new Apple Ipad 5...I mean iPad Air. It's called that because like air, it only weighs 1 pound. (Costs a bit more 1 pound though). As expected, it's faster, brighter, lighter, etc. They have made it more like the design of the iPad mini and had a smaller bezzle. Who ever used this word before? So it looks like the screen size is bigger than it is, but still  fits in your hand ( unless you are me or Mrs Min). It didn't have any new super duper features, such as the ID touch or even that champagne colour. Still can't complain as it's the same price as the old one. Will have a little think if I should ask Santa (Amazon) for one. Min Marks out of 10...8.17.

Mac update. Last night I updated my iMac 27" (it's an Indian thing about having the biggest tech) to the new OS Mavericks. I saw the reviews of the new features, thought about what to do, saw it was a free upgrade and...yeah of course I updated it. Free folks...come on!...the new OS is really good and has brought a lot of the functionality of IOS7 to the mac, like apple maps, iMessage and iBooks. It's 'worth' getting and now I feel like I am using the worlds biggest iPad! Min marks out of 10. 8.87.

Joke: The missus thinks I'm too spontaneous. How would she know? 
I only met her a few hours ago...

Right, that's your lot! Have a lovely weekend and a great sleep.

A small man called Min.
