Neee...sie hat versucht. Ich habe es nicht getrunken! smiley - biggrin

Und ich versuche *nie* Leute abzufuellen. Ich gebe aber zu, manchmal passiert smiley - drunkheit, aber immer ganz zufaellig! smiley - winkeye

No...she tried. I didn't drink it!

And I *never* try to get people drunk. I'll admit, sometimes smiley - drunkenness occurs, but it's always completely accidental. smiley - winkeye

Wie sagt man "*" und "#" auf den Telephon oder den Tastatur?

How do you say "*" (asterisk) and "#" (hash or pound) on the telephone or the keyboard?

"*" is "Sternchen"
"#" is "Raute" (we ususally say "Raute-Taste" - #-key)

The Germann (electronic) operator for my latest teleconference with Berlin described the " * " as "Stern-Taste", (star key) to be used "vor und nach das PIN-Kode" (before and after the PIN).
