Laptop AC charger broke recently. Bought another one, it arrived today but it is a 3 prong one and didn't come with the mains plug. I only have a 2 prong plug one (also I'm not sure if 65w is enough, can't recall why I didn't buy a 90w one).

Any ideas where I can pick up a cheap 3 prong plug for it? Preferably in a brick and mortar Dublin place. I miss my laptop.

Is it the mains plug or the lead for the mains that is missing?
If its the lead you will be looking in a computer repair shop I'd guess, I might have a spare one if you are stuck.

Now he's just a mean old bastard when he plays the blues

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF3RpDBCKlo

SPOILER

Close one there
Choking in clean underwear
Bleeding tongue
Eight ball pounding in my lungs
Ship to shore
I can't see the coastline anymore
I shouldn't be here
I thought I made that loud and clear
But the master of disaster
Gets tangled in his telecaster
He can't play it any faster
When he plays the blues
When he had the heart to ask her
And every note just shook the plaster
Now he's just a mean old bastard
When he plays the blues
China town
Chasing that old dragon down
Madam Wong's
We play the blues with the curtains drawn
Sidewalks of white
While the LA sun beat out the night
Pounding brain
My last transmission down the drain
And the master of disaster
Gets tangled in his telecaster
He can't play it any faster
When he plays the blues
When he had the heart to ask her
And every note just shook the plaster
Now he's just a mean old bastard
When he plays the blues
There's a debt I owe
I'll never pay before I go
So I sing the blues
Hand me down my walking shoes
You're in my heart
Though we may be miles apart
There's my point
I'll see you in another joint
When the master of disaster
Gets tangled in his telecaster
He can't play it any faster
When he plays the blues
When he had the heart to ask her
And every note just shook the plaster
Now he's just a mean old bastard
When he plays the blues

You should grab one in a hardware or electrical store cheap enough too . Less than a 5er. "Cloverleaf" c5/c6 power lead.

The laptop could be rated for both 65w and 90w adapters(Most Dells + HPs are). 65w just means your battery will be slower to charge.

Seems like good craic alright.
Haven't checked her twitter mind.

Going by your new Avatar looks like you like the ladies with big boobs.

[tylerdurden94]

Just read on Twitter a few minutes ago that Ruud Van Nistelrooy has retired from football, quality stat from OptaJoe. Fantastic striker

1 - Just one of Ruud van Nistelrooy's 95 Premier League goals came from outside the penalty area (v Charlton in Nov 2005). Retired.

just the 'kettle lead'?
a universal plug thingy will work too

The lead with the plastic prong thingy that you wrestle into the AC converter socket. Appreciate the offer thanks but I'll pick one up as per vvv.

I never actually use my laptop on battery power anyway so slower charging doesn't affect me.

Now that I know it's called a C5/C6 coupler / cloverleaf / Mickey Mouse connection I can boldly go into an electrical / hardware shop and not have to ask for a thingy which connects to the yoke that has three prongy pringy bits on it.

What a gobshite Tevez is.

[FeetMagic]

Silly boy...

Didn't Fergie say something along the lines that he'd win a title at City over he's dead body(I may be totally wrong)

Moronic from Tevez alright, but sure thats what he is. It's gonna get far more outrage and attention than it deserves.

what type of laptop, and by 2 prong you mean where the connector that goes into the power brick itself?

[Zod]

and if it's with 3 pins in a shamrock or is it a dell with 3 pins in a row?

I can probably get you the cable for free.

Tevez is as thick as pig shit. He probably didn't even know what the sign he was holding up said.

[ComradeCollie]

Ship the Ulster Bank refunding the €300 I 'attempted' to withdraw from an atm last Friday week. Didn't notice I was short the cash untill about 10 hours later, and at that stage was about 50:50 as to whether I'd left it in the machine, or missed my wallet and dropped it on the ground.

It's like free money

Done. Will throw in postage for free too.

This jobbie:


I'll pick one up tomorrow. I'll support Peats and buy one for €8. I always thought they were robbing b@stards with their prices, but there was talk that they were doing the decent thing by staff with their going into administration early. Better than buying one for 1 cent on Amazon.

Cheers for the help and offers folks.

[Micknail]

So no more Nesta, Inzagi, Del Piero and Van Nistelrooy anymore.

Bit of a coincidence in that case.

What is this shit? You owe me 50 quid now. You get a free Peruvian hat though.

Is that like the thing that happened to my better half? where he withdrew and the money didnt come out but it was missing from the account.

My 250 went back to my account 1 week later

No. In my case I think the money came out, and I somehow neglected to take it. Funnily enough it was on the same day you posted about Colms bad luck.
I was literally reading your post about it about an hour after I'd fucked up without even realising it

LOL ya feckin eejit!!!

funnily enough my cousin did the same as you, withdrew 200 , took her card and walked away leaving the cash hanging out from the machine, obv it was gone when she ran back, she never got it!

did someone take your cash or did the machine take it back in?
