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 20th June 2014

Well hello hello! Its's Friday, it's the weekend, and everyone on the Met Line is looking super happy....not

Yeah ok, so England lost again but the Italians can still save the day right? Err scratch that, just seen that Costa Rica scored. Never mind, perhaps it's fate and we have to wait till the year ends in '66...

Let's look around...

A lady is using her high powered iPhone (5S) to play...candy crush. Great...



Just done my good deed for the day and let some dude take my seat as his legs are broken. If I now win the lottery tomorrow, let me know if you want to take over the blog...



Advert for the week: Be a great westerner. This is an advert for Great Western. Woah must have taken ages to come up with that one,..think I might change career.



App of the week: Picture the scene . It's 28 degrees, your on the copa cabana beach (how good was it for them to name it after one of Barry Manilows  songs (how do you make Barry Manilow's nose a mile long...fold it half))..where was I again?

Oh yeah, on the beach and you are imaging that you are Pele or Beckham and practising free kicks and doing super duper curls over the wall and into the top corner. That reminds me, how cool is that  shaving foam they are using in the tournaments to keep the walls at bay. I do like the way the referee does a happy face in front of the ball too!

Anyways, with this amazing app, called Flick Kick, you can live out this fantasy, though it's a regular stadium rather than the beach. That bit was just in there to get you to read this far.



There are lots of challenges, from arcade to how many goals can you score in a minute. Do you know how you flick your finger in your nose when you have a little ball up there, well it's the same action you do on the screen. You can really curl that thing... Then come back to the game when your done. My highest score is 73 on arcade so let me know when you've beaten that Steve and Ket.  (It's not really but won't say until you beat my true score). The other great thing it does apart from showing slow motions when you get it really close to the crossbar, it that you can play your regular music in the background. I tend to play the 'Crying for no reason - Katy B' track as that seems to fit in nicely with watching the England games. Min Marks out of 10...9.534

Tech News: I read yesterday that there are going to be 2 versions of the next iPhone, one that a bit bigger and then a 'yo mamma's so fat' size one to compete with all the other phablets out there. The iWatch has some crazy price being banded about of around $450, so I might just have to stick with my timex for a few more years.

Joke of the week: England.

Right, it's going to be a super nice weekend I hear, I'm off to an Indian wedding for a change so hope Mrs Min hasn't left me by Sunday morning as I don't know how to tie my tie.

Ta ta,

A small man called Min
