Eros? What's the god of sexy times got to do with buying a newspaper using a swipe card so you've got something to read on the nightmare commute home?
Once you've signed up, got yourself an Eros card and added some credit to it via the scheme's web site, you're able to buy a paper at select shops by swiping your card on the reader, Oyster card style. There's nothing particularly sexy about it, but it will shave valuable seconds off your commute and give you a massive advantage over those fools who insist on fumbling for change.
Also, in a shameless attempt to get fashionable urban hipsters on board, the scheme's giving users five free iTunes music downloads each time they add some credit to their cards.
If you want in on the trial, or just want to cynically try it out to get the new Girls Aloud single off iTunes for free, the scheme kicks off at London's Waterloo station next Monday with a giveaway of cards loaded with some free money.
