It doesn't make any SENSE. What the hell does it have to do with a pound?

You call it the hash key???? Hahaha, we in the States call it a pound sign.
I can't believe you have a phone button that's a brand of drug. That's awesome.

Well our currency is 'pound sterling' so this £ is a pound symbol as far as i'm concerned!!!... and yes, it is called a hash key, but i've never tried snorting my phone!!!!...

(so far!!!!)...

A brand of drug???... I didn't know they were producing illegal narcotics in 'brands' now... Brings a whole new meaning to the word 'Diet Coke'!!!!

Diet Coke sounds more like a diet program (doesn't speed make you lose your appetite?) than a product.
Where's the Euro fit in?

We have Diet Coke here...I was just going on a tangent, as usual...
I've never seen Tab; we don't have it in this part of the country.
I don't drink sodas anymore, so that's the extent of my contribution to that discussion.

I don't go for the rough stuff, so i don't think we'd get on very well anyway.
