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)...

Tuesday 17th April 2012 - The Journey Home

19:18 All Station to Uxbridge

Hello gang, I hope you have been enjoying the lovely rain today. I heard that the hose pipe ban will stay in force till at least Christmas though. Which is a shame as the Bulgarians running most the car wash businesses in our area have had to go back to good old export services (trafficking and drugs).

Oh how times change. For example:

1612: "Oh Charles, I write to inform you I have received your letter and I've been left quite speechless"

2012: "K"

The man opposite has quite an interesting book mark. It's a Club 182 business card (182-184 Preston Road, Ha9 3rb). Classy mate.

Today's headline is "stay and enjoy the games of a lifetime". No this isn't being said by the human traffickers but by Seb Coe. Well Seb, I hope you have a big house...

Ooh ooh, there is an advert about tickets from London to Birmingham by train for 50p. There are 20,000 available so if you are interested, see page 17...

Time for a story me thinks...

Looking around this carriage, I feel that the ingenuity and inventiveness of the human race is nothing short of astounding. I mean look how far we have come. At one time early humans were just walking around naked. Then they invented clothes and learned to build dens to live in, discovered the wheel and learned how to make tools. Then came farming and organised civilisations. Eventually we had the industrial revolution and machinery. Then we learnt to fly and invented TV and Radio followed by computers that were quicker than any human brain. (good huh). Then came the invention of the internet, the super highway of information that enables people all over the world to sit and watch other people er... walking around naked.

Now that's progress, and that's my stop so I wish you all a lovely sleep,

A small man called Kawks
