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.

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.

I can't realy help with price so I guess Ebay would be your best source for value.

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!).

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.

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

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.

"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
