Where in Limerick would I get a can of butane gas for a soldering iron?

Also, where could I pick up a shaving brush, I've seen sets but I just need a brush.

Maplins maybe for the soldering Iron?

Clareman

Isn't butane gas the stuff used in lighters? Almost any shop would have it, yellow can, camping stores would definitely have it.

Thanks, I was in Boots about a fortnight ago, walked around it but never saw the brush.

I wondered was it the same stuff, might call to Cahill's on Wickham St so.

Thanks

They are usually on the bottom shelf near the shave balms and such.

If you can wait until Monday, the man who runs shaving.ie (Chris) is fantastic. Plenty to choose from and usually next day delivery. He posts on the Facial Hair & Hats forum here every so often.

Agree with an file, go with Chris, you'll get a much better quality brush that will last.

Looks like one of Yflyers Fast&Furious suspects tried to go through a roundabout last night round Groody. Met a lamp post instead. Boo hoo.

Must have gotten air on the speed bumps so if going at pace.

Special Circumstances

Out along the cois gruadha raceway. Failed to enter a roundabout by turning left. Or turning at all by the look of it. Clown got air off the roundabout maybe.

I'm still figuring out wheres where in limerick. Google maps tells me the mangled street lamp is on the fairground side of the roundabout out the front of brookfield hall.

Saw a report of a "high speed chase" ended in kerry recently with stingers to puncture tyres. An hour's chase over 55 km of roads. Either crap reporting or they have a very different definition of high speed in kerry...

Clareman

I think every Tesco in the country was open today

fredo1664

Tesco Arthurs Quay was closed (to my surprise).

Poxyshamrock

Tesco Dooradoyle closed too.

Clareman

Looks like they were the only ones closed http://www.tesco.com/store-locator/ie/

Additional ones were added recently for a spring tide, they're a real eyesore.

They look terrible. You'd think they cover them in earth or something

Safety feature, like tyre barrier. We all know how dangerous that road is.
Wander over 50kmph? You'll be glad of those sandbags...
