    Can't seem to find these anywhere. . . .Woodies, Argos, Dunnes Homestores, B&Q (their website only so far).

    Don't be tempted by the 'rubber sucker' ones - I've had a couple of them and no matter how carefully you clean everything and follow the instructions they stay up for maybe 6 months then fall off. Yes you can put them back again but they seem to 'wear out' and eventually fall off everytime you look at them. :(

    If its the sucker ones Atlantic & Homebase have them but they're useless, I gave up and bought a drill.

    I agree. Buy a drill and do it right.

    Atlantic stock some but, as was pointed out they're not up to much.

    If you decide to drill a tile be careful and make sure you start with the hammer action off on a slow speed if possible.

    When drilling put a cross of masking tape over the area to be drilled to help prevent the drill from slipping.

    I also tend to take a screwdriver to the spot to be drilled to make an initial indent for the drill to follow.
