Four now, well that makes a quorum eh ..... actually, four is considered an extremely unlucky number to the japanese, i think their word for it rhymes with their word for death, or something .... one time i was giving a japanese visitor some squash from the garden, i put four in a plastic bag, which filled it nicely, handed it to her, she looked inside and went white, glared at me suspiciously .... then realised i'd forgotten this taboo, and reminded me .... so, the bag wouldn't hold five, i had to get another bag, and send her away with three in each .... maybe we better get one more winspearian at least, let's be selective though

Why do people discuss politics on threads, Will?
