It is a lovely place, I can't name any places because I don't remember the names. A trip to the Reiperbahn is essential, even just to look!
I'm sure K &R is alot more familiar with the place, I'm sure we have talked about it before.
yeah i'll defintly be taking in the reiperbahn, the football stadium is close to there, so my friday night shall be spent exploring there.

Dude, visit The Reeperbahn which is part of the red light district. Drink Pilsner by the litre and the women cheap and cheerful.
Visit a teutonic dominatrix and get her to play Helloween- mr torture as she gives you a good thrashing.

Yeah, you can make most characters with accents/umlauts etc on a standard keyboard with the ALT key and a number sequence.
Not sure it works with Polish though.

Hamburg is a great city, and not just for the Reeperbahn. There are a couple of metal nightclubs round that area as well though I can't remember what they're called. Maybe check the wacken forums in case there's a discussion there about it - bear in mind Hamburg gets invaded in the run up to Wacken!
personally I prefer Steindamm to Reeperbahn

What's that then, K & R? A similar place to the Reiperbahn?

Reeperbahn is a good Tom Waits song.

you should definitly go up for a game man. i would choose hearts over hibs (but then i would say that!) Hearts stadium is well worth a visit, was voted one of the best stadiums in the world a few years back. not because its anything fancy but its quite unique in that its built in not a great deal of space and therefore the stands go up quite high and realy overlook the pitch, making for quite an intimidating atmosphere. best to go to a rangers/celtic/hibs/aberdeen game. give me a shout if your going and i can recomend where to sit etc also edinburgh great for a night out after!
re irving welsh, although his books are quite entertaining, he is a charlatan. talked about how he was a hibs casual etc yet none of the hibs boys had ever heard of him!! met him a couple of times and his head is fully wedged up his arse!
I was gonna say, I pass Hearts ground when I go up to Glasgow for Rangers and Tynecastle from the outside looks a bit grim...

aye it doesnt look much from the outside and it is in a run down part of town, but as said ive never been to a ground where the stands stand so steeply above the pitch. you should try and get there when the gers are in town, we give you the whole away end and the ground is noisy and hostile as fuck, good fun!!

I'll try getting some tickets for the Tynecastle leg but what with not being a season ticket holder (I work shift patterns which includes weekends so I end up selling more tickets than I go to games), it might be a struggle to get to the games.
Also, do you guys do what Hibs do and sell the away fans tickets directly due to the 5% levy arguement? I tried to get to Easter Road but couldn't as I needed tokens from The Scottish Sun in order to buy the tickets...
