I've seen it in Tesco a few times. Strange that family run traditional butchers don't have it but Tesco Supervalu do.

On a similar note, does anybody know a butcher that sells beef marrow bones?

I'm looking for, or to have someone make up a nice timber champagne glass holder, similar to this:

JohnCleary · 09-03-2014 11:02pm

Also looking for a champagne / ice bucket, in steel.

biko · 09-03-2014 11:06pm

www.willowwoodworks.com out in Claregalway can make just about anything you need out of wood.

civis_liberalis · 10-03-2014 2:03am

Looking for a back/battery cover for a Samsung Galaxy S4. Doesn't matter if its not an original part, just needs to be exactly the same shape as the original ones.

Tried a load of shops. Some telling me ebay is only place. Estimated delivery for any I could see are too long away as I'll be gone. Hoping to get it asap. Have a good protective cover/shell around the phone, but it's in 2 pieces and won't stay together properly without the back cover on the phone.

Thanks.

Edit: One of those ones with the a flip cover for the front integrated into it is not what I mean. They make the phone thicker at the back on the hinge side, which is the problem I need to solve.

b.gud · 10-03-2014 10:35am

Looking for some place that can clean a fairly large shaggy rug, and if you have an idea of roughly how much it would be as well. Thanks

There's a place down the back of the Lisobaun industrial estate, just down from the car wash/cheap diesel place

I'd try Tommy Vardens, there's one near ravens terrace (from what I can remember) and one could be on the Tuam road too

You're looking for a shower hose, what replacement you need may come down to your make/model of electric shower thingy.

Woodies, B&Q, Argos are good starting points.

I'm on the bigger side

so TK Maxx is out usually, I have tried Portwest with no luck.. The other two are more work wear but definitely worth a look, thank you. More suggestions welcome too though..

There's an army navy type store down that little laneway linking shop st to middle st (I think) really obscure location but worth a look maybe? There's a laundrette near them if that helps a bit

The Missus likes Cornish Wafers but is having trouble locating them in Galway.

She's 100% certain they don't have them in Tesco (apart from a few in the 'Biscuits For Cheese' selection box)

Anyone spied any packets about?

Eeden · 16-03-2014 6:08pm

I haven't seen them, but would suggest trying Morton's, McCambridges, or perhaps Marks & Spencer.

Anyone know where I can buy a 23 x 2.5cm loose-bottom fluted flan tin?

Want to make a lemon meringue pie. I have had a look in dunnes and supervalu and no luck. I will try Tesco at lunch time.

+1 for Anthony Ryan. TKMaxx is also good for bakeware. You could also try decobake in Eglington Street

if you are using them for wardrobes try the plumbing sections. You will shower rails that will do the job.

caroline756 · 28-03-2014 10:57am

Would anyone know where I could borrow some clothes rails for an afternoon as I am having a fundraiser for a homeless charity and selling clothes??

many thanks

Does anybody know a carpenter or framemaker that would make a copy of a wooden frame I currently have? I had a guy lined up to do it, but we're not in the same place and it's kind of awkward. Would prefer someone in or near the city.

Edit: Googled immediately after posting and found 'The Framemaker' on Dominick Street. Does anyone have any experience using these, and do the make to spec, yes? It's for my mother and it's pretty sentimental..

Ray in The Framemaker is dead sound with top quality and taste and if he can't sort you out himself I'd say he'd point you to the right person.
