fatguy2k1 · 20-09-2011 10:56am #1

I think there was talk of one of these type of threads a while back and since i'm looking for something i though i'd start it.

I'm looking to get small paper cups in gawlay city. small dixie cups like these ones for making jelly shots

Anyone have an idea where i can get them before saturday?

There's a lighting and electrical shop at Westside, Murphy's I think. Also one out at Briarhill - DID Electrical.

I had a similar problem with trying to get a bulb. Flaherty Markets in the Ballybane Industrial Estate between the N6 and N17.

Can someone name the road?

Now I don't trust the names on google maps as far as I can throw its server farm but the road is labeled Bóthar na Mine.

Meemars · 21-09-2011 10:02am

Bóthar na Mine is correct as far as I can tell, roadsign can be seen when you turn in at the Tuam road entrance. Signposts in the area also helpfully (!) indicate Ballybane industrial estate, Glenrock business park and possibly others.
This is a good area to check for your bulb though, Flaherty Markets, McDonagh Hardware and Peter Curran lighting all in the same area.

biko · 21-09-2011 11:09am

If you can't find it anywhere else, bring the old bulb with you to CT Electric on Sean Mulvoy Rd, never let me down yet for any type bulb, fixtures etc.

Try one of the Woodies. I bought one there a while ago, then dropped it and bought another.:mad:

Most of us are trying to avoid our Xs in Galway :-S

I am looking for superglue and a few bathroom or kitchen tiles. For separate use, before anyone starts telling me it won't work.

Where are you looking?

biko · 22-09-2011 10:46am

I've got a bunch of odd kitchen tiles left over. You can have them for free if you take them all away.

Interesting... could you provide an approximate width for those long ones? We only need a few squares to make some underwater chess and Go boards, but if they're big enough we'd gratefully take them off your hands, depending on location as we've no vehicular transportation.

bodhrandude · 22-09-2011 10:50pm

I know where you can procure a pvc catsuit though lol.

Winston79 · 30-09-2011 8:51am

Would anyone know where to get wire hangers in Galway? Either to buy or take for free!

confuseddotcom · 30-09-2011 9:35am

Where in Galway could I buy a specific MP3 Player Battery anyone know?

pleasant Co. · 30-09-2011 9:46am

Maplins?

Hard to guess if you don't mention the specific battery you're after, maybe you can't buy a replacement battery for your mp3 player?

biko · 30-09-2011 9:46am

Phone shops

Winston79 · 30-09-2011 9:48am

There was a phone repair and sales place above the joke shop on Shop Street, they sold alsorts. Is it still open?

confuseddotcom · 30-09-2011 10:30am

Cool will try those places, had never even though of Maplins actually, never even go in there, that would be ideal I'd say. Had wondered if CarphoneWarehouse did ..... Might try those few anyway. Thanks for the helpful non-smart replys folks!

:rolleyes: No Thanks to the Smarties! :rolleyes:

Is this thread still working? *knock knock*

I'm looking for halloumi, the cheese .. I've found it in Dunnes but it was super pricey compared to say feta.

biddywiddy · 07-10-2011 11:47pm

I get it in Sheridans cheesemongers. It's probably not any cheaper than Dunnes though.

thesandeman · 07-10-2011 11:59pm

I think thats Greek?
If so its Greek week in Lidl till Sunday. I know they have Tzatziki, Vine Leaves, Halva etc. but I didnt check the cheese but its possible they have it.

They have it in Tesco and Tesco express, I think it's around €3 or €3.50. They also have it in the Mediterranean shop in Westside, but I don't think it's any cheaper than Tesco.

ben.schlomo · 08-10-2011 6:52am

Evergreen and McCambridges have it, its not cheap anywhere, standard price seems €3 and above.

rain on · 08-10-2011 10:26am

€3 would be grand, it was a fiver in Dunnes! The Evergreen that I looked in didn't have it either.

Mrs OBumble · 08-10-2011 12:58pm

Try Aldi too. I don't know if they have it, but do have lots of cheeses.

The one in town usually has it, fairly sure its under a fiver in both McCambridges and Evergreen.

Anyone point me in the direction of a petrol station with a descent working coin operated hoover? Anywhere from Oranmore to the east side of the city. Save me time driving around in circles tomorrow.

It's something i like to normally do at home quiet regularly but the place iv moved into in oranmore makes it impossible now.

There's one at the petrol station at top of Bohermore that used to be good. Haven't used it in ages though

Ficheall · 16-11-2011 5:36am

I'm looking for blue moustache dye for this Movember lark.
Anyone know where might stock some or if there's anywhere that might dye one's moustache hair?

Or should I just get some blue hair dye and have at it?

biko · 16-11-2011 10:01am

Beauty shops should have blue hair dye?

galwaybabe · 16-11-2011 10:54am

My exhaust is hanging off my van. Had to do emergency repair with guitar string the other night - fun and games, I tell ya!
Where's the best/cheapest place to get it fixed?

biko · 16-11-2011 11:40am

Start by getting quotes from
Ballybrit Exhaust Centre
Ballybane Advance Pitstop

Bought lovely earrings and chain pendant abroad recently but they only gave me two little pouches. Looking for box to do them justice. Could I go into any jewellery shop and buy an empty one? Prefer one without a brand name or else I could go to the most expensive shop and buy their empty branded box

Thanks

biko · 16-12-2011 4:29pm

They should be able to seel you a box, not sure about name stamps though.
Or try trinket shops like Treasure Chest or Clare's Accessories, maybe they sell small boxes?
