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. Wednesday 23rd July 2014

Well hello hello! How are we all and sorry for not doing a blog last week...I was washing my virtual hair...

Thought about cancelling the blog just now as not in the best of moods to be honest with you my dear blog reader.

I was walking past Sainsbury's when I saw a sign saying, "All items: a third off." So I decided to buy a dozen eggs. Just opened the box on the Met line and seen that 4 of them were bad.

Boom! And we are off! (For the less statistically minded of you 1/3 off, brought 12 eggs...word play of 'off'...get it now?...)

So rather late getting away today from work but the good news is that the tube is well deserted! There are only 6 people in our whole carriage! Happy days! I've stretched my legs out as far as they can. Nope still can't touch the floor...



Advert of the week: The Gold One - I've always loved it. from my first dance competition to going out tonight. Always backstage. always in my bag. - Cheryl Cole.   Woah! I have no idea what that advert is about. There is a sign in the corner that says 'Elnett Satin'. Nope, still no idea, perhaps it's a chocolate or a wig...let me know.



Well this time of night certainly draws in a different crowd. I'm looking at the now 4 people in the carriage and they are doing strange things like reading the paper or a book. No candy crush in sight!..gonna make sure I leave earlier tomorrow.

Just seeing the headline in the evening standard about some chap who was killed in London when he got caught up in a turf war. I wonder if he was mowed down?...

App of the week: So, how hot has it been for the last few weeks! That orange ball of light has finally found us and I've been that confident of the weather predictions (thanks BBC Weather app), that I've replaced the umbrella in my manbag with a solar power iphone charger.

I don't know about you, but it's been getting a bit too hot for my liking so this app has been a life saver for me. The app is particular useful for those of you who don't have the luxury of air con like we do on the new (but still a bit rubbish as they have stolen all the chairs) met line.

What am i going on about?  An app called 'Sleepy Fan'. It's a virtual fan for your iphone which plays authentic sounds of a fan and animation and fools your brain that your actually being cooled. What was funny was this morning, the woman next to me asked if I could point it in her direction as she was 'glowing'. I put it on top speed for her and after about 15 seconds, she goes, ahh, that's much better, thank you.

Come to think of it, I think she said her name was Cheryl something...



It's a fun app and currently free so give it a go. Min marks out of 10..8.6735

Which reminds me. Wind Turbines. I'm a big fan...

Mrs Min news: Mrs Min said she's decided to leave me as she been seeing a dolphin behind my back for the last few weeks. I asked her why and she said that they just sort of clicked...

Right, that's your lot. Time to turn the fan on. Have a lovely rest of the week and a great sleep!
