    I can see them for sale on eBay and the like but it's easier to just nip into Dublin and get one right away.

    it'd be cool if you could speed up/slow down your typing as needs be and set the birdy to hit the space bar...

    it would probably take twice as long and ayway diferent length words would take different time and then if you made a mistake you'd have to go back and would just et all arsed up in general

    never seen them in ireland but i did buy one about 5 years ago in a magic shop in boston.

    i know it's no help.

    i also couldn't get it to drink the water.

    Know where you might get one actually. You know that street where pravda and the hags with the bags are. Up where abbey discs is there is a shop there that sels all weird kind of stuff, projection clocks and slinkeys and such like. I'd say that would be a good bet...
    Or the shop in jervis street shopping center upstairs near the celtic shop. They sell all strange and obscure gift ideas etc...
