Raid on brothel "Pascha" in Munich

According to the Süddeutsche Zeitung (and others), a raid in the recently opened "Pascha" at Stahlgruberring produced a video camera including audio taping equipment that was focussed on the bed in an upstairs "service room" (Arbeitszimmer, ahem). The police are not sure if the tapes were meant to blackmail customers or to be used as porn movies. Customers wishing to contact the police can do so under the promise of anonymity.

Never been there and anyway i was just showing people around

There go my plans for the weekend

What was that police number again?

Thats where I left it...

any one got a copy of the film?

Well its an art project...

I must be well behind on night clubs in the city centre ...but I thought the Pascha was a posh P1 type of night club near the Lamborgini car showroom?

just what i needed, more proof that i am the best

Have you ever been inside? Brothel is a more accurate description than night club

well if the cars are moving, its sure not cuz the engine is on

nope, never been, just remember something from a while ago on German TV covering the opening night, maybe there is more than one place with the same name

I've been and it sucks.

surely you mean "they" suck!

Maybe that's why it was so popular?

must be 2 places with the same name their web site is saying things about Ibiza dance nights and stuff, not what I would say as typical brothel entertainment

Maximilliansplatz and Stahlgrubering are two addresses with slightly different tones.

One is a nightclub and the other is a soup kitchen.

anyone noticed that the two places are also spelt differently?

Pascha is the brothel on the Stahlgruberring
Pacha is the nightclub on maximilianplatz.

this would account for me thinking it was all a bit odd

yep OG pascha with an S for Sex, thought everyone knew that

Oh sorry, i went to the night club one and not the other one, whatever that is.

Whew my halo status of Bubble G still shines

Strictly speaking they are both "night clubs".

Yeti is right. A "nightclub" here is not what you get when you talk about the same thing back home. UK nightclub = DE disco. DE nightclub = place of adult entertainment (though not nessie celery a brothel). Best not to ask me how I know this.

So youv'e been vlubbing then ?

porn movies i reckon

What you're actually looking to say is:

"Nightlife:
English - Go out, get drunk, dance around like a cunt, have a fight. If you aren't arrested have a kebab and go home and throw-up.

German - No direct translation - nearest syonym is 'shit'"

Made me feel quite melancholy and wistful with nostalgia for good old blighty weekends out that did.

"Great night, puked an' all" as they used to say.

Oh

I was gonna ask what your rates were.

The other day me an' DJ Jazzy were in a cab and the driver handed us flyers for Pascha.
His pitch to us was that we could get laid for 100 euros.

So in a bar on Turkenstrasse, we convinced this one annoying german kid that we were the Security and DJ for the place and that he should come in and ask for us- getting in free with this flyer and our signature. We also said he could get some free dances and drinks too, cause our girls are nice to friends of ours. Would have loved to see his face as he approached the brothel with this flyer and tried to get in to hang at the DJ's table for free.

Maybe they caught it on camera?

I think it is only fair to include the case for the defence here, which is that there was only one camera and it was in room 6. Any customer who looked suspicious, or with whom the girls had had issues with before was guided to room 6, so the folks at reception could peak in (every 5 minutes they claim) to make sure the girl in there was not being harassed or threatened.

So now, hands up, who was ever guided to room 6?

I would be perfectly willing to agree to that if it were only a surveillance camera, but it wouldn't be necessary to record the action in that case.

"Peak in"? A climatic one, I'm sure.

I didn't realise they'd actually asked you to agree to it...

me too:

Out of bed at eight am
Out my head by half past ten
Out with mates and dates and friends
That's what I do at weekends
I can't talk and I can't walk
But I know where I'm going to go
I'm going watch my money go
At the Locarno, no

When my feet go through the door
I know what my right arm is for
Buy a drink and pull a chair
Up to the edge of the dance floor
Bouncers bouncing through the night
Trying to stop or start a fight
I sit and watch the flashing lights
Moving legs in footless tights

I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning

I like to venture into town
I like to get a few drinks down
The floor gets packed the bar gets full
I don't like life when things get dull
The hen party have saved the night
And freed themselves from drunken stags
Having fun and dancing in
A circle round their leather bags

I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning

But two o'clock has come again
It's time to leave this paradise
Hope the chip shop isn't closed
Cos' their pies are really nice
I'll eat in the taxi queue
Standing in someone else's spew
Wish I had lipstick on my shirt
Instead of piss stains on my shoes

I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning
I go out on Friday night and I come home on Saturday morning

Yeah, me and my old big pimping buddy profundo are gonna be outta work if they close that place down. That's where we sent our premium clients...

The owner has now spoken: The camera was to make sure that if a customer wanted sex without a condom the hooker did not refuse although the condom regulation is meant to protect both parties. He said he "never thought" that he would be breaking the law by taping the action. He also put pressure on any hooker who insisted on using a condom anyway. Real sweetheart, this guy.

Have you heard about the brothel in Prague which is free? Unlike the covert filming of Pascha, everything that goes on is broadcast in the Internet. It's called Big Sister (geddit!?).

Go on

Is that "Go on" as in "Go on and pull the other leg" or "Go on and tell us the address"?

Shall I do a poll?

I don't know much more (honest!). There was an article about it in The Prague Post, an English-language weekly paper. It said they only charge a small fee for fresh towels, and one hour is the max. Obviously they live off the Internet subscriptions, so I'm sure it's easy enough to find full details if you search.

Oh, c'mon, this is foreplay with no follow-up. Details, give us details, we thrive on details!
