The First Utterly Stupid Question Of 2011

10 replies
Here it comes.

Do the guys from the UK have the pound symbol on their keyboards?

If so, how do they also type the $ symbol.

No excuse for this question. I simply cannot work it out.
Hope you can help me

      Character map has both dollar sign and pound symbol. I can never remember the alt+ numbers, so I put a shortcut to the character map right on my desktop.

    I have $ & £ on my Irish keyboard. € symbol is Alt Gr + 4.

    Although that's irrelevant ;/

    Hi Craig,

    Are you cashing out a bet from a pommie cricket fan?

    I'm sure he'll accept a hand-written check, mate

    Also, are you on a Mac?

    What do you get with ALT+3?

    Cheers,
    Steve

      I really like and admire you a lot but please, don't stretch it. hahahaha

      In saying that, kudos to the Motherland. Far superior with a lot of players performing when needed.
      Congrats to you and your kinfolk.

      BTW

      No mac here.

        No hard feelings I hope, mate.



        24 years of hurt and all that...shame about Punter for the last test.
