I may have been smiling at the Yelp Goes Back To The Future but several hours earlier I was…read morementally in a foetal position and willing a sudden identity change and location change to transport me. I wanted to be a coconut seller in the Caribbean but alas. 6:30am - "Time to get the party prep ready. Uh oh spagehetti-o my car is clamped." 6:35am - Get taxi to storage place. 7:30am - After I paid €80 I got a delightful text message from Dublin County council. "Your vehicle has been declamped. Please drive safely." Ugh. 8:30am - Walk to declamped car. "Where the hell are my keys?" Get taxi back to storage unit, not there. Call receipt of first taxi. Bogus taxi driver. Call gardaí... "Hmm this is fishy there are several people registered under this taxi license and no contact info." 9:30am: Taxi man from heaven, Willie Price, calls locksmith Ken. "Ken all the wine for my event tonight is in that car. I also need that car to transport everything." 11:00am "Annie this car is breaking my heart I am going to have to shut the whole computer down." "It has a computer?" "Eh yeah..." "Just do it Ken I need the car!" "It will cost more." "Do it!" 11:45am: €230 poorer but with 2 sets of keys, one set which my boss takes and decides where to put it in my house as I'm too scatter brained. Ken saved the day. Without Ken I would have ran far away from the Science Gallery and got a new identity. Thank you Ken.

This is super handy shop. You may get a lot of things done in here. Need insoles? Got it. Need keys…read morecut? Done. Need something engraved? Just say the phrase. Need to repair you watch? Cheapest shop you can find in city centre. I was looking for 377 watch battery, which costs €1 on eBay. All other shops were asking €10 for a tiny 377 type of battery for my old simple watch that 15 years ago cost me €22. This is insane! Anyway, went through several shops in city centre until I found this helpful simple shop. They sold me battery for €5 without bargaining. I'd say could paid maybe €3-4, but that's fine. They have to to living as well, don't they? As I said, pop in there, if you need anything small done. They do more stuff that I written.

I'm very happy that I found this small multi-purpose shop in the Stephen's Green Shopping Centre…read more While primarily known as a shoe repair/cobbler, Timpson also engraves jewelry and knives, cuts keys, sells signage, and repairs watches. They even sell an assortment of random items like zippo lighters. I'm giving them 4 stars for the great job they did engraving my knives. For about 5 euro each, I had 1/2 dozen knives perfectly engraved in a nice scripture (you can pick from a large assortment of fonts). Major points for doing the engraving while I waited (took less than 20 minutes). I researched a few jewelers and they all wanted 1 to 2 days to do the same type engraving.
