The met line is only 53% full today so I wonder if that's because everyone is starting to take their annual leave before the year end. Either that or because it's 7:14 and normal people don't commute at this time...
Advert of the week: "Give Hunger the Finger"...woah, this is an advert for the 'Just Eat' app, which allows you to order from takeaways online. I was reading some of the customer reviews of the app and I think most of them were unfortunately giving the app the finger...
There is a man next to me watching a Korean drama series on his iPhone 4S. It looks quite interesting but even the subtitles are in mandarin so I will ask him about the plot in a bit...
So, last night I had a knock on the door at about 8:43 and in good Russell Peters style, mum looks like her watch and says that infamous line 'hoo is it? At this time?" It was of course the amazon man who had a PS4 shaped box for me. We are on first name terms as he seems to come to our house every day and he's invited me to his daughters wedding next year. When I say first name terms, not sure if 'amazon man' is his real name, though he calls me Min which is also made up.
Back to the plot. So spent the evening unpacking the new toy and setting it up. I received the PS3 for my 40th, so quite nice to get the PS4 for my 45th. Wonder what I will get for my 50th...
First impressions is that it's really good, the controller is loads better and has a built in speaker and a tilt sensor. The whole device is a lot lighter just in case you want to take it for a walk from time to time. After the inevitable - update available screen, I had a quick play with the menus, loaded up iplayer, bbc news, bbc sport and videozone and signed up to the free 14 day PS Plus trial which allows you to some free (not that good) games and to play online. Seeing as I hadn't actually got any new games yet, I just watched The Matrix again to test out the BluRay. Yep, he still took the blue pill..
Call of Duty - Ghosts should be delivered by amazon man tomorrow, so that should be the weekend sorted. There is also a PS app which allows you to connect your phone to the device and use it as a second screen. Hurrah...
Min marks out of 10 so far... 9.04
App of the week: My brother in law told me about this app and it's super duper. It's called LS Addicts, and no it's not an app to wean you off the drugs but a football scores app. Now I know there are loads of those already but what is great about this one is that as each team you want to follow starts playing, you get a lifelike referee's whistle being blown! It's very exciting. Seriously, the best bit is that if someone scores a goal, it goes and hunts down that goal from the internet and plays it to you! It's usually from some foreign station but I now know how to say 'goal' in 12 languages...It's free so get it now. Min marks out of 10. 9.67
Thought of the week: Do you ever wake up, kiss the person sleeping beside you and feel glad to be alive? I did and I apparently won't be allowed on that airline again...
Ahem! Right, let's leave it there! I hope you have a lovely weekend and a great sleep!
A small man called Min.
