Yes. Your turn.

Fascinating mix of luck and strategy. Must have been terrifying. No wonder those involved in such conflicts are least likely to talk about them.

Yes and that's without the wildlife to contend with eg saltwater crocs!

Anyhow, my question. I don't go to many concerts these days but who am I due to see in June for the first time since 1985?

It wasn't... But the next time the list is done, that will obviously be a serious contender for the top spot.

It is quite a unique style/winery/brand, and the wine maker has famously discussed this particular vintage.
