Just a reminder, you can learn about getting on IRC using this screen 
case made by our very own Alan Pope:
http://doc.ubuntu.com/screencasts/Installing_and_Using_XChat-Gnome

Or if you wish to use Gaim: 
http://doc.ubuntu.com/screencasts/Connecting_to_IRC_Using_GAIM

if you have xchat-remote installed you can also do run  (alt+f2) and 
type:  xchat-remote --url=irc://irc.freenode.org/#ubuntu-uk

simple as that :)
