        Well, not every post on here is an irk!

        Mind you, a fair few posts contain multiple irks, so it may well balance out a bit

          Lol, I'm not THAT desperate, plus that would probably detract from it's portabilityness which is one of my favourite things about it...

          Basically the jack has 3 contacts at the back, and a bit of metal on the right hand side that is supposed to spring back to the middle contact when no charger is inserted to take the power from the battery rather than a supply, or something like that. The bit of metal is no longer springing back, and as the jack is sealed there is no way of getting in to it t reseat the spring or whatever. So basically a new jack is required, only after about an hour looking, I can't find one anywhere, and the Acer service manual I found online says to replace the m/b if the jack gets a fault.

          Even if we could source a replacement part, the connections are really hard to get to so would be almost impossible to resolder. My Dad said something about how it would have been made with a solder bath? I'm not the most technical minded person so I'm not too sure but hes a trained electrical engineer (albeit an out of date one - he used to work on nuclear subs 20 odd years ago!!) so when he said it's a motherboard replacement job only I just took his word for it...

            Ken Jeong.

            Seen him in a few things now and he is not funny. At all.

            Yes, Billy's post in that other thread reminded me of this irk.

              He can be hilarious, but he can also be arse.

                I've only seen him in Hangover pt.1 and Community, and I share Kryss' opinion.

                    3 ply tissues. Too thick to blow my nose on. The tissues, not me btw.
                    Yet 2 ply is that little bit too thin. Like Korean popstars.

                      When you leave stuff in the fridge at work and someone else eats/drinks it. Happened twice now. Just yesterday I left a bottle of Pepsi Max in the fridge for today (as they were on offer in the shop, I bought two) and today one of them is half empty. There's only one person that was in the office yesterday after I left and I was the first one in today (as usual) and he's just come in and denied it. Tempted to pull the CCTV.

                        Pull the CCTV. One of the girls thought it'd be hilarious to hide my net book and I did the same thing. I got bored searching through, though, and just said GIMME THE DAMN LAPTOP, and she did.

                        I let people at work use my stuff but I once found someone had got margarine in the jam. Told them if that happens again I'll stop getting jam. Never happened since, although last week someone saw fit to open my new loaf of white bread by ripping a hole in the bag.

                          Man, and I thought it was bad here. Funny thing is only 3 people work in my office at the moment and the other one is on holiday. Super annoying when people pull this crap. Maybe I'll buy another and put washing up liquid in it. Or a laxative... Yes... minds brewing.

                            Those bloody Toyota adverts with some stupid rap song combined with ****ty animations of gangsta's are pissing me off bigtime right now!!

                            Also the kevs across the road. I caught them the other day lobbing a white wire (aerial or telephone) out their top window. It was a bit dodgy & I wondered where it was going cos it was long. Walked back home just now to find that they've slyly thrown it over the telephone wires which is now supporting it in the street & are running it across the road to their kev mate. So the question is - do I bubble them?

                                What is a kev? I urban dictionaried it and got some answers that didn't really make sense. I'm assuming it's another word for chav or pikey?
