I searched all over my flat and alas there was nothing to be found. I just happened to be out and about and when I walked past the Cartridge Shop I saw that they had some stationary. Alas I found a perfect pair of scissors! They admittedly have a small amount of actual stationary, that seems like a bit of an after though. Their main focus is as the name suggests is on ink. They do a cool service that is good for the environment and your wallet. They refill your old ink cartridges with new ink. The sign on the front says that it cuts your ink costs in half. Doesn't sound too bad to me!

The Cartridge Shop is exactly what it says on the sign - a shop selling cartridges. For printers that is. They stock Epson, Canon, HP, LexMark, Oki and Rimark brands, and also recycle and refill empty cartridges.

The first visit they take your name, phone number and address and basically set up an account for you. The only think I don't understand about cartridge green is, for a leg of the recycling industry, they don't seem to use recycled paper for their receipts and their receipts are very long and use a lot of paper. They have a special offer at the moment, for €69 for the year, you basically open an account and get as many refills as you want.

They say on the website that no job is too big or small, and that is how they make you feel. They also sell an array of posters and photographs, including the work of Colm Henry, famed Dublin photographer who for many years has shot the top notch of the Irish music scene, and there's great images to browse of Rory Gallagher and early U2 among others. I like this service a lot - it reminds me of why shopping local can be so good, not only because you get to support the businesses in your community, but also because you build a personal connection, which fosters its own sense of community. A thing you can neither buy nor sell. Most of all, though, they just make my prints look great.

Happened to find myself @ Airside Retail Park today and this was one of the stores I visited. This…read moreis the second time in a year ive been in this particular store. The first time was January 2012 and the sales where on at it was a fecking nightmare. Parking was almost impossible and you would have thought by the crowds thronging into Harvey Normans that they must be giving the stuff away for free. It was wall to wall with shoppers, the staff where trying to appease everybody and it was utter chaos. I was looking to purchase an American style fridge but I couldn't get adequate attention and the other shoppers where growing impatient at having to wait to be served so I left it on that particular day and purchased my fridge later that mid week closer to home. Today was a horse of a different colour. Midweek, afternoon shopping is always best, no crowds, no queues, plenty of parking, relaxed and considerably more staff to attend to your needs. Harvey Norman is a great place to shop, even if you're only looking to browse or you want to test the "expertise" of the staff with more technical queries. The spaciousness of the the store is the fIrst plus. Goods are well spaced out in the furniture and bedding areas, sections of full bedroom displays with made beds is a real classy selling point. I am in the market for a new bedroom so today was a great day to get a feel of what I wanted. I had plenty of time get a good look at the quality, no issue with giving the bed a good try out, or pull the drawers out and examine thoroughly and to take measurements. We where never hassled by the employees, (which is one thing about furniture shopping I hate, pushy sales persons trying to size you up to reach their monthly targets). The staff kept their distance and allowed us to browse occasionally and politely asking of we required assistance. We spent a couple of hours in the store browsing mostly and had a good rummage in the bargain bins strategically dotted about the place. The range is superb, and the prices seem to be competitive. Harvey Norman also arrange finance and you can get a quote or credit check done in minutes by the staff. Like all big boys I loved looking at the 60" Tv screens and the latest hi-tech surround sound systems, the computer section has hundreds of display items all in working order to try out. Knowledgable staff at the camera section where very informing and not sales pushy which is great. I really enjoyed my day off browsing here and i will definitely be back when I have got the bedroom floors down and the decor sorted.

The little stationary shop under the escalator in Blackrock can supply you with all the DL…read moreenvelopes and printer paper you can carry. They'll also print and fax for you. There used to be a guy here who was a real smooth pen salesman, gave me the hard sell on a cross fountain pen, which I still have. Apparently, or so he told me, it's the same pen Christy Moore bought here and uses. An extraordinary collection of school bags and laptop cases in such a small shop push Star Office Supplies into the four star rating category, I mean it's amazing they still have room to spare for envelopes. You may think four is unreasonable but if you read my review of the Stationary Super Store you'll know how much I love stationary shops.

What is it about pens? People collect them like personality flaws. You already have more than…read moreenough, but you just can't stop collecting more. Pens. And what is it about a good pen? One from which rich color flows smoothly, scratching gently, soothingly against paper. We get disproportionately attached to pens in a way that we don't with most other objects. When you find a good pen, it's such a score. And we all know it's impossible to have too many good pens. We greedily hoard the good ones, especially delighting in good pens we find or steal, knowing that, when the victim realizes his loss, his day will be ruined. We will have ruined that person's day! And we feel triumphant! It's sick. Pens make people go insane. Fortunately, it's not the most detrimental of mental illnesses, and I will openly admit to suffering from it. I blame it on the fact that I am left handed and need just the right pens or else my writing gets smeared all over the place. This is true, but it's really just an excuse to keep collecting, keep hoarding. I will never stop.
