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

I dont know anything about computers but the newish place across from TKMaxx are offering free troubleshooting and no fix no fee if thats any help.

Wa café on Middle St, and another Japanese café on New Dock Rd., sell saké etc.

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.

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.

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.

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.
