Gonna start a new half hour comedy show for while I'm on the bike in the gym.

I'm thinking it'll be between Community, It's always Sunny in Philadelphia and Parks and Rec. Anyone got any recommendations between the 3 of them?

Always Sunny.

Community is very good but very much an out there, acquired taste type of show. IASIP is more accessible even if it is also off the wall in many ways.

Parks and Rec is more akin to The Office in many ways but not as good.

Community is the best of those three imo. I'd skip the first season of It's always Sunny in Philadelphia and Parks and Rec. They are terrible at the start for some reason.

Yeah probably at this stage, no nearby coffee shops have power either, seems to be fairly widespread from Charlemont to Baggot st at least.

They're all good, you can't really make a wrong decision there.

People are gonna freak out when you pay with watch. Should be good to see!

The biggest problem is going to be shops that have their terminals in stupid places.

I'll use it all the time, I still have one of the old Ulster Bank debit cards without the nfc chip in it and entering PIN was pissing me off. Was actually going to ring this week for a replacement but this news makes it even better.

Have an Apple watch too which makes it even easier.

But if you're not on KBC or Ulster Bank and you really want contactless on an Iphone you can natively use boon from today - which is like a prepaid card you top up and add to your phone.

Been using Android pay since the day it came out, I think it's class. I am also beginning to get less strange looks from shop assistants.

I worked for a company who were involved in developing the NFC protocol and in 2012 they did a test run for its roll out across London. That rollout involved a few major companies coming together to provide infrastructure to stores, and phones, test bank accounts etc to employees and also some Olympic athletes (who were sponsored by companies involved).

I will always remember the first time I paid with my phone, before Android Pay was a thing, was at a Nando's a couple of weeks before the Olympics started, the look of utter horror on the face of the girl behind the counter, she thought I was Dr Who or something. Then she had to get her manager to verify that I'd actually paid, and not done something nefarious. This happened a couple of times but as I'd been given a bank account with some money in it (you couldn't link real accounts to the test) I was happy enough!

Then when the trial was over I called support for the MNO to try to cancel the sim so I could keep the phone, as it was a new smartphone and I was entitled to it as part of the trial. Turned out my account with them had a note on it saying it was an Olympic VIP's phone so I had to resist pimping my fake athletic ability to get a cheap deal out of their retentions team.

If you're looking for over the ear headphones steer as far away from Beats as you can. Look at the audio technica ath-m40/50x. I have the 40s and they are brilliant.

.ak

Anyone who is willing to pay for Beats headphones deserves to be ripped off.

Freebies should be used in the shower only.

Any time I've been in it's been really good, and has been the only reason I've gone there.

Ah the staff are great, I know the manager and a few of the staff there so we generally just go for drinks, but it's actually known as having mediocre food - it's just a has a brilliant atmosphere has an old-school dining club vibe to it, pre-theatre is crazy busy there. You go because the treat you brilliantly there, they really know how to look after the customer.

The food is a 3.5 out of 5 but the ambiance/atmosphere is a 5 out of 5 for me.

It's a place 'celebs' generally go because they get looked after properly and they don't really care about the food.

.ak would be dead right. Beats are poor quality wildly overpriced crap.
