Apart from being the teletext number for subtitles, the chinese find the number 8 and especially three 8s as very lucky. They also find the number 4 unlucky because it is similar to the word for death. Does anyone have a lucky or/and an unlucky number? Why is this number good or bad for you?

My husband and I got married on 9/9/89. In china 9 is the number for longeverty. We have been married 19 years in September (for lazy mathematicians) so it must be working.
Anyone planning to get married should do so next year on 9/9/9.

I'll go home and lock the door that day - I am NOT completely daft.
Now where is my calender so I can be sure to do so.
