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 31st May 2013

Well hello hello! How are we all? A nice short week and predicted to get to a crazy 20c today. Wowza...

Not got a seat on the tube, so let's not mess about, on with the show.

Tube: There is a bloke next to me playing Football Manager on his Sony Laptop. It's currently Chelsea 1 - Wigan 1. He is really into it and changing the formation every couple of mins. Wonder if he will get fired if Chelsea lose?

Advert: 'My sweat terminates here'. Ho Ho ho, my sides. See what you did there Boots anti perspiration spray...yeah I know, it stinks...

Gadget: Picture the scene, it's late, you've just come back from the pub / work / Indian restaurant and you fancy watching some TV for a bit before going to bed. However disaster!!! You can't find the sky remote (other TV services are also available). You check under the pillows, under the sofa (do you find it's quite soothing on your cheek if you have a laminate floor when doing this) and finally even the TV cabinet drawers, where there are 20 other remotes from back in the day that you know will be helpful at some point, just in case you want to watch your VHS video of your wedding. (Even though you no longer have the video recorder any more, just the remote). Looking at all the remotes and thinking I'll just take out the batteries as I can use them somewhere else ( even though you brought 20 for a £1 from the 99p store. If you thought I was going to say Poundland...hello I'm Indian and every penny counts and that spare change comes in handy on so many occasions. (Leaving card envelope when everyone watches but pretends not to when the card comes round the office and you have to be seen to be sticking something  in for John's card (who the hell was he anyway?). Back to the plot...so in order to make sure that I was NEVER in that situation again, I decided to buy this gadget. It's a massive remote control that is so big, we have to store it in the garage. The jag now has to be parked on the road as there isn't enough space for both...it's brilliant and each button is the size of your hand (or finger if your normal size). You can control all your devices from the TV, Sky, magic box, Playstation, sound system, Toaster..you get the gist. Got it from Tiger and it was about 7 British pounds. Min marks out of 10. 8.19. Would have been more but the batteries are the size of sleeping bags and take ages to rub when they are running low on juice.

App: Every wondered what to do when you have a dilemma and just not sure what to do? You know, should I have toast or Rice Krispies today, wear flat shoes or heels (that's just the men), comb my hair or look like I'm a hobo. Well this is where the app comes in and my life has not been the same. The app is called Thumb and as well as helping others with their dilemmas you can post pics and questions yourself. You get back a thumbs up, down or neutral and sometimes comments. It's dead good fun and makes the evenings the mother in law comes round just fly by...Min marks out of 10. 7.52

Joke: I have't spoken to Preeti for a week now. I don't like to interrupt her...

Right that's you lot. Try not to melt in the heat today and have a lovely sleep,

A small man called Min
