Car covers? For the whole car?
Can you explain, maybe link to a pic or something.

More specifically re-upholstery, a more permanent solution than covers. The kinda stuff taxi drivers would fit as an aftermarket alternative to leather. Something like what this company do but doesn't have to be leather:

The car I bought for my wife before Xmas was not in a good condition interior wise, we had it valeted but still not as good as we'd like. The condition was factored into the purchase price

Anyone know any company fitting leather-type (maybe some sort of rubber) car covers. I know there was a company operating out in briar hill but think they may have disappeared along with the boom !!

There is (was?) a place in Glenrock Business park - in Ballybane. I'm not sure of the name, but they do car re-upholstery/ custom interiors.
they're beside the I-Supply unit, near McDonaghs Hardware.
I haven't passed by there in a few months, so hope they're still there.

inisboffin · 17-02-2012 10:46pm

Looking to buy some sheepskins, cured etc. No dyed ones, an be rough and ready, just clean. Where could I get them cheaply - somewhere that isn't geared for the posher decor market?

Open patella neoprene knee support (Vulkan size L)

Elverys out of stock - tried Boots no joy, pharmacy in Corrib SC (M&S) no joy.

Both have websites, perhaps check there and compare prices on a few items both have. Or drive over and check, I find B&Q garden good but have never compared prices with Woodies.

grainnereills · 20-02-2012 1:08pm

Any idea where I can buy one in the city centre....

Robbo · 20-02-2012 1:11pm

The Ink cartridge place on Dominick St for a start.

biko · 20-02-2012 1:12pm

About USB cable:
PC World, Maplin, Curry's, Argos and more shops have them.

So do Euro2, for a lot nicer price. Can't speak for quality, but hell, it's a bit of very common cable ...

bonzodog2 · 20-02-2012 6:06pm

Where's the best deal on single CFL lightbulbs ?

Have you tried any butchers at all? Some used to sell skins I know, or else they may have contact details of someone who does.

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for Haggis in Galway city or county. Anyone seen it for sale anywhere this week?

MCDonagh's have it on their menu for takeaway/eat-in purposes. I like the one they do.
Think I may have seen it in the fish& chip place on Cross st too.

Not sure if you wanted to cook it yourself
& it's probably way too late to be much help to you anyway.

- Glassware (old bottles, )

How old? I have several Hobgoblin bottles which are brown 500ml and seem to be custom designed for the Wychwood company that brews that beer. I stopped throwing them in the bottlebank thinking they were too nice to just get smashed up & recycled.
Thought I had somebody who wanted bottles for homebrew but he had enough.
Have some clear glass bottles too done for other specialist beer companies.

FMartinp · 21-02-2012 10:15pm

If you're in Galway it's got to be Peter Curran Electrical. In the unlikely event that he doesn't have them there are plenty of other wholesalers on the same road.

beardybrewer · 24-02-2012 9:56am

Where can I get an ergonomic operator chair. The type that are totally adjustable. I know viking direct have them. But it would be nice to sit in it before buying. Anyplace in stock them?

Kelly Office Supplies have office furniture in their shop and they're nice to deal with. They're down at Nile Lodge.

Doctor Faller in the Crescent used to have a cryoclinic, but that was years ago. He still might.

Dr Larkin in Ashley Grove Knocknacarra does this, it's relatively painless!

Where can I buy drawing tools, such as drawing paper, watercolors, acrylics, pencils, brushes... ?

Thank you!

pleasant Co. · 26-02-2012 5:22pm

Powells on shop street, opposite the O2 store, AIB, or the art shop in the eyre sq centre, between Jack and Jones + Vodaphone store, or cregal art out on the monivea rd.

Lifestyle in the Galway Retail Park usually have a some larger sizes in the upstairs sale area, might not be a great selection though.

The Belcher · 27-02-2012 3:23pm

Somewhere in the city that sells jeans with a waist of 33inches and a leg of 34 inches. Everywhere has 32/34 or 34/34 and I am exactly in between sizes.

I thought most jean manufacturers sold in even sizes. If you want an in-between size you might need to get the next size up & then take them to one of the sewing adjustment places around town.

Im similar but just always do with the 34 and find them grand. Stevolendes suggestion would be the next best.

Possibly http://www.geraghtys.ie/. I've gotten a 33 leg there before

gaillimhabu · 02-03-2012 4:02pm

Sturdy bunker for coal and briquettes

2/3/4 bag one to either fit in the garden or the wodden shed. Sick of picking them out of the bag

Is there anywhere in Galway that sells wicker or cane conservatory furniture?

Woodys DIY always have a big range. The branch at Well Park is a better store than the Headford Road one IMO.

JohnCleary · 06-03-2012 5:08pm

Folks,
See attached photo.

The piece at the bottom of the zip broke off. It's the small metal piece that guides one zip into the other, and then you zip up (great explination I know)

I have the old broken piece so I know what size I need. Can anyone put me in the right direction here? It's not off a jacket so kind hard to bring it into a shop, but can do if needs be.

Cheers

jkforde · 06-03-2012 5:15pm

how about the Singer shop on Middle St.? www.singerco.co.uk/roi.html

or Hickeys upstairs in the Eyre SC

Shakti · 06-03-2012 5:18pm

I'm thinking locksmith in corbett court/eyre sq. shopping cnt. I think they repair luggage also, but only a guess.

JohnCleary · 06-03-2012 5:21pm

Thanks guys, will give these places a look in the morning (just realised the time, won't get back to town before 6)

deltakilo · 06-03-2012 6:37pm

You could try the Zip Yard on Merchants Rd. They do all sorts of alterations so might have them in stock.

Sponge Bob · 06-03-2012 7:03pm

Woman who does this stuff above Fahy Foto ( or above next door to Fahy Foto) , very nice and helpful.

Discodog · 06-03-2012 7:08pm

I am pretty certain that you will have to replace the zip or work around it. I don't think that you can get spares. If you can get the zip fastened then you can put some stitches or a small zip tie to hold it together. You will still be able to operate the zip but not separate the two halves.
