    I’d rather have the EU to fall

    Larger countries may also impose regional movement restrictions. It's not driven by nationalism, it's a means to control the spread.

    It's a means to control the spread but it's bringing back people's sense of nationalism and where they belong to.
    Just look at the reaction after Leo's speech.
    How many times was Ireland and irish mentioned. The EU or European was never mentioned.

    Same with the Italian airforce flying the colours. It wasnt the EU colours that they flew.

    When the sh1t hits the fan anytime in history it's the country and colours and identity that the people recognize.

    Getting natural not ugly, nothing as bad as a lady being over done anyway. Less is more and all that.

    That will cause more people to self isolate than the Corona virus itself

    Looking up hair clippers online - I see one with an option button for Left Ear or Right Ear. Is this fashionable - a Van Gogh look?

    I actually agree completely with that, but I suspect a lot of people who use those services regularly may disagree.

    This ****s about to get natural wouldn't describe the current situation though.

    Remember Amazon have said they aren’t shipping normal goods but focusing on medical supplies only.

    Rang a lad on DoneDeal about a spare wheel for the digger.5 stud rims hard to find, and the price was right.
    Drove 30 miles last night, like all those chancy sellers on DD he wouldn't give exact directions to the yard.
    Arrived at the agreed spot and rang him.
    "Only on the way home now, I'll run down and meet you, it'll be ten minutes"
    Fifteen minutes later he arrives and I follow him to his yard.
    Grand rim, 50% tread on the tyre, pumped up, good and hard.
    Hand over the spondoolics, and away home.
    Went to take it out of the trailer this morning, flat as a pancake.

    That's what the 15 minute delay was, he was pumping the f**king thing up.
    Pr**k.

    Due a herd test. Any animals leaving here will be going to the factory. Should the Dept not suspend it for 3/4 months?

    Is that a front or a back wheel? I don't know anything about JCB wheels but I inherited two front one's here. At least JCB is written on the tyres, and they're yellow! ( 120 80 18 5 stud)
    One is hard , one is soft. Fairly old looking by the look of them. Lying round a good while.
    What sort of value would they have?

    I've started putting OKO Tyre sealant in everything that is showing any sign of going soft and find it's been great. Started originally with tipping trailer as it has lorry tubeless wheels on it that kept leaking at the bead over the winter no issues since I started using it..

    Back wheel, for a "big hub" 3cx.

    If yours have 5 stud holes, they are off a 4wd 3cx.
    6 stud holes, off an older 2wd.
    With a bit of thread and holding air, probably 30 to 50 euro each.
    If they have the "split rim" with the retainer ring ( widow makers) nobody wants to touch them....

    Edit, just saw your edit.
    Front wheels with 5 stud holes and a big hub hole in the centre worth more, 70 to 80 each if any bit of thread and holding air ( and the stud holes not gone oval, from lack of tightening...)

    Thanks for that. Yeah they're 5 stud , 120 80 18s
    No split rim.

    I must advertise them sometime the mood takes me.

    They will fit some smaller JCB dumpers as well.
