Thought I'd drop into the "Metaphysical" section of ebay, where all the pagans and fengshui doods hang out. Found this: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/CAST-IRON-CAU...QQcmdZViewItem

AND it has a bid on it!!! There are some whacky people out there :D

Due diligence, my friend. The bidder has also purchased the following items:

Wooden with brass Pentagram Tarot Card Box, and PEWTER PENTAGRAM CHARM KABALAH WICCAN PAGAN.

Technically the 2nd item is not a proper pentagram, as the star is not upside down. Get back to work now.

So here I am working all these long hours, and you guys are just screwing around on the web. Don't be surprised when Johnny Howards sells Australia to China and moves to Texas to live in the the George W. Bush guest house.

He won't have to sell it, they'll soon own it by defalt!

Brian 08-17-05 02:34 AM

What's that famous Japanese city? Oh yeah, Cairns!

Brian 08-17-05 02:37 AM

Need some help here. Have an opportunity to get some new 2005 Shimano 105 brakes (front and rear) and a rear derailleur (9 speed) at very reasonable prices. What are they worth out here? These are to resell, so I'd like to know what I can reasonably expect to sell them for. Is 105 still an upgrade for some riders? Thanks all.

2005, 105 would be a nice upgrade for an older rebuild or maybe even someone with Sora.
I can't realy help with price so I guess Ebay would be your best source for value.

For some reason that reminds me of the scene from Pulp Fiction with the Gimp. No prizes for guessing who the Gimp is.

Had a 70km day on the bike today fellas, and still managed 29kph avs despite the famous Beach Road return headwind.

That makes me what? Mid pack in D grade? :lol:

Ouchies. Legs...hurt.....must.........sleep......

That's really funny,
Its a common "poitke" pot. Traditional South African stew done in a cast iron pot.
I think they were selling for about 150Rand when I was there (less than $20 US!).
witchcraft? hah.

No luck with the mags (mostly old Winnings), though I didn't get a chance to raid my dad's collection of 'ICS' and 'Cycling' going back to 1842. Doesn't matter though.

Even better, check this out.

I reckon it's your frame, in blue. Same fork crown, same long pointy lugs, same 531 label. 1980.

Brian 08-17-05 02:53 PM

Berny, glycemia has to do with sugar. Please explain.

PaulBravey 08-17-05 03:19 PM

Glaucoma would make a bit more sense.

Tell 'em Berny gave you the heads up.

Mate, tell us what it is you want and we may be able to set you up. If you don't mind traveling a bit, Bike and Skate in Kincumber on the central coast are an exceptionally good mob.

mmmmm, Bike n Skate, what's the deal there? never been in there, thought it would be more of a MTB/BMX hang out.

perosnly, id like to know what you were doing on Grays looking for 2nd hand dresses / G-strings!! :D

jock 08-17-05 06:22 PM

Staying in touch with my feminine side, as usual :p

Thylacine 08-17-05 06:39 PM

Ew, 2nd hand G-String? That's plain wrong.

jock 08-17-05 06:52 PM

"the all important diamante encrusted faux g-string "

errm, faux means fake. Take another look at how it sits at an odd angle on her ample rippling cheeks. That's because its not a real G-String. It's attached to the dress.

Sheesh, don't you blokes know anything about womens clothing :D
