For all of you who are interested in the current standings in the Circus Tipping Competition – after the Argentina game but before the Dutch take to the field – the leading positions are as follows:
1. Sion (49 points)
2. Jim (47 points)
3. Sophie (42 points)
4=. Mathias, Digel and Felix (all 41 points)
7= Aditi and Maren (40 points)
9. Nisha (39 points)
So the Brits are leading the field, although there are still plenty of games to be played and points to be won, and things can change dramatically. Not that long ago Sion was holding steady in midfield, but 5 correct tips in the last 8 games has seen him shoot to the front…
By the way, if anyone is interested in joining us to watch some of the action at The Circus, the hotel courtyard is now open for games in our World Cup Garden…open-air viewing all the way to the final. Of course, all games are also being shown in the hostel.
What follows is Andrew’s selection of things to look forward to in Berlin and at the Circus this week. He is only bitter about the football because he’s Australian…
Only a few more days to go and the first game kicks off in South Africa for the 2010 World Cup. It is amazing to think that it is already four years since we had the world in Berlin and Germany for the 2006 tournament, and I still have some very strong memories of watching games at The Circus.
Once again there are some great things going on both around town and at The Circus. , For those looking to hang out close to the circus and enjoy some good live music, can really recommend Schokoladen this Wednesday – 
As you might know, we have our very own Jim at The Circus, who in the spirit of 
Oh Lordi (geddit?), it is that time of year again. Every twelve months the nations of Europe come together in the spirit of cultural exchange, for an evening of poptastic fun that features more cheese than a Dutch lorry crossing the border into Germany. And every year at the Circus Aussies, Americans and others who did not grow up on this great continent of ours come down to Goldman’s Bar, look at the images, listen to the tunes and then turn to each other and say “What the f**k? Are these guys for real?”
Another week, another batch of fun stuff as recommended by Admiral Andrew, head of the Circus Fleet of Fun, who has put together his regular round-up of things going on at the Circus as well as around town. With Live Music, football on the big screen, plus the legendary Carnival of Cultures which is coming to Berlin this weekend, there should be something that you will find amusing…check it out:
Once again we have a packed week in front of us at The Circus, with our usual series of fun happenings down in Goldman’s Bar and in Fabisch, including free beer, live music, singalong karaoke sessions and news of some of our friends taking the city by storm…as usual, our Director of Light Entertainment Andrew has wrapped it all together in a neat little bundle so you can see nice a quickly what’s going down in our part of town…
