I am looking for ( x ) in Galway City

Does anyone know of a shop that sells laptop adapters, preferably one that lets you try them out? Found an old iBook Firewire that was given to me but the adapter is broken. I want to look around first before I drop money online for a laptop that might not even work!

biko · 18-12-2011 7:58pm

Maplin, Wellpark, sells adapter kits. Bring the laptop.

I'm looking for Dubarry shoe care products. I've tried Logues and Brennans but no luck has anyone come across them anywhere?

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

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?

Cara Diamonds in Briarhill gave me a box for free. So nice of them

Anyone know where i could get gripe water in galway city/county?

seriouslysweet · 02-01-2012 1:48am

Interested to hear on the gripe water as my mother claims it's not to be found here anymore!

Eviledna · 02-01-2012 4:43am

I'd try o beirns pharmacy in Henry street, failing that evergreens in the headford rd shopping centre or healthwise on abbegate st. are the likely candidates. Not certain mind, just best guess.:)

Edit: Actually scratch that, aroma foods beside aldi in westside apparently have it according to a quick google. Great shop, that aroma foods, is there anything they don't have!?

Did O'Beirns change hands a year ago? Or different family members running it. It has completely changed inside, and I never see the pharmacists I used to the odd time I've popped in. T

The health shop in the back is gone, it was one of the main reasons I'd pop in walking by - does anyone know if the lady who ran it (her name escapes me)is set up elsewhere? She did a great range of essential oils too at great prices?

The gripe water sold in the republic has no alcohol in it anymore and it is pretty useless. I got my sister to get it for me when she was up the north a few weeks back, its the old reliable one and is working a charm.

What is Gripe Water?

I know its for babies, but what does it do ?

Serious.

I know there's Google for such questions, but fuggit - I prefer to learn from Galway(ish) people.

factual lies · 03-01-2012 7:03am

it helps release trapped wind in babies (burping that is, not farting !!!)

Doc Ruby · 03-01-2012 8:16pm

Sake sets, sake rice wine, and sushi sets? I've already tried in McCambridges and they don't seem to stock it.

Chibodee · 03-01-2012 8:36pm

Evergreen Healthfoods do alot of Sushi Products

I'm looking for a shop to fix a laptop. The new place on the Docks offered me 35 Euros to fully check it out and fix any problems they find, only charging for parts. Has anybody went to these guys before or know of a good place to go?

Haven't been to them myself, but computer repair guys are like car mechanics, be very careful! Make sure they call you before they go installing new parts and charging you a fortune! Sometimes its just cheaper to buy a new computer or 2nd hand which is actually the best value. I got my laptop off ebay over 3 years ago and I was delighted with it!

Of course I'll have them contact me before installing new parts. I'd be more wary buying a laptop from ebay myself!

Makes the kid drunk, so they forget they've got wind and go to sleep. Or at least the version that you can't get here any more for a damn good reason worked that way.

Looking to find somewhere that sells mousepads in Galway City preferably of the Non-Hello Kitty variety

biko · 07-01-2012 1:39pm

Maplin, PC World, Currys?

Headford Road shopping centre, there is a small barbers on the Tesco entrance near the fruit and veg shop that opens on a Sunday, has a red shop front.

They were pricing the sake bottles at restaurant prices, starting around €30 and up, I went back to McCambridges and they had them in stock this time, €12 for a lovely rice wine. That offie out in westside has them too.

Still can't find any sake sets or sushi serving sets though, I'd really rather shop local than order them in from the US.

bonzodog2 · 08-01-2012 2:35pm

Anybody know a butchers that do nice beef & pork sausages? Spicy/herby would be a bonus.
Or even Boerewors ?

The South African guy in the market who sells borewors will sell them to you raw. Not sure on the price but they are damn good, best hangover cure in Galway IMO. He also sells the spicy garlic sauce he puts on them for around 2 Euro a jar

Ha, I've never heard such rubbish. Have you ever used it? I have given it to my kids over the years and none of them have ever gotten drunk off it, have always burped within a minute of drinking it and have never gone to sleep afterwards.

Stouffer · 09-01-2012 2:38pm

Have been Googling around for amateur musician groups or workshops in Galway to no avail - anyone know of something like this?

Any ideas where to get a cook book stand in Galway? Argos was my first thought but not seeing anything on their site. Thanks.

Woodies definitely have them, seen them there, but they're between €15 - €20 I think.

snubbleste · 23-01-2012 9:14pm

Seeking a 1l flask around €5, to contain hot liquids. Tesco UK sell them for £4, but Tesco here don't stock them. Checked Millets as well they wanted €12, I said no.

Also a bargain on wd-40 required.

What kind of music? If it is trad, www.dustybanjos.com/ might suit? They seem to have 'not-quite' beginner classes.

Hibbeler · 24-01-2012 3:24am

Hi, i'm looking for a good dry cleaner for a suit. has anyone got any recommendations? I'd be looking out round westside or around the NUIG. Preferably a quick turnaround, drop off tuesday afternoon, pickup wednesday sort of thing.

Tesco in Galway Shopping Centre have a Thermos 1Ltr Glass-lined Flask for €7 at the moment.

carmex21 · 24-01-2012 12:52pm

Dry cleaner beside Dunnes in Westside - always found them good. Also a service out of corner shop besdie Cookes pub on Cookes corner but no idea what is like.....

24-01-2012 1:37pm

Pretty much as the title suggests - does anyone know where I might purchase a plug-in ionizer or an air filter, that could be used in a bedroom? I'd rather try the bricks 'n' mortar shop first before checking online.

biko · 24-01-2012 1:47pm

Argos it seems
http://www.argos.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10152&catalogId=13352&langId=111&searchTerms=AIR+FILTER&authToken=
Check Currys website, might have it.
Woodies?

fattymuatty · 24-01-2012 10:03pm

Does anyone have any experience with somewhere around town that fixes tablet computers? The charging port on mine is broken and I'm looking for somewhere reliable to get it fixed. Thanks.

jollylee · 24-01-2012 10:24pm

Hi everyone!

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

thesandeman · 25-01-2012 12:22am

If its vegetarian haggis you are looking for you can usually get it in Evergreen.
