A chara, – Recent correspondence regarding the upcoming referendums has introduced me to a new word – throuple – which describes a relationship involving three people, durable or otherwise. However, I’m curious to know if the usage of throuple is confined to relationships or, for example, could I say that (as I did last night) I went for a throuple of pints. Mind you, the company I kept was unendurable. – Is mise,
