  10. 1 and 5 remind me how I appreciate (or fear?)how darwinistic and most of all corrupt the effing badass russians are. Btw, Darwinism really is my thing
    With champagne its only bollinger and my local ordering farm where the family orders for generations (it just wont be called champagne since from germany...). Prosit und have a good read.
