St. Pauli Penny Markt - as seen on TV documentary (Hamburg) - I normally hate German television, but on Monday evening I saw a programme that ranks as the best thing I've seen in my nearly eighteen months of living here.

FC St. Pauli (Hamburg) - A Roman poet once said that all people need to keep them happy is "bread and circus".
