use key words like........... deforestation Multinational corporations - money grabbin destroy rainforests area the size of wales. the answer is straight forward enough but if the exam is oral then u should try and get the key words in to make it sounds even better. examiners like to hear technical terms, helps make u sound better and will bring ur grade up. increasing world pop placing strain on rainforest, deforestation removes the "lungs of the earth" and reduces the capacity to cope with the excess co2 just a thought but the question could be asking u to compare the effects of deforestation other causes of global warming, eg industrialisation and the growing autopolis nature of urbanisation. dont know how relavent this line of discussion would be

bought my first copy of MBUK in ages last week, read it in about an hour then spent the next 3 days staring in awe at some of the pics, injuries that make you want to spit chunks, some quality riding pics, and some lovely ladies bits so any of you guys make it on, or do u know any one who got on in? would be intersting to put a face to the guy with the missing section of arm cheers

ok folks no need to argue, its happened. this happened in newcastle under lime (im guesing due to proximity to stoke). also newcastle upon tyne is near scotland on the north east coast of england . geography over, but i thought i'd help with the actual whereabouts of the bike theft keep lookin, try putting an add in a local paper saying trials bike wanted, kinda brief description nothing too obvious. offer around £400 and they may even try selling it back to you. good luck

there is one advantage of having a bike that colour, maybe police wont moan about visibility when your out riding at night. does look better in blue, but then i still like the caisso frame

sectoral unemployment - different for each industry international comparisons - eg EU v USA v UK time series data - is upt increasing or decreasing how long have people been unemployed - will the need retraining etc degredation of human capital. unemployment:inflation trade off - i.e. the phillips curve you can use claimant count or ILO (international labour organisation) measure. would be more accurate to use non-employment data also look at demography of unemployment - women, etnicity, age etc because different policies are needed to change them all. the govt needs as much information as it can it can address policy the correct way. in portugal there is currently a shift from subsistence agriculture to industry, so structural unemployment is the case need owt else??

bored now people like king, other prefer hope, good job we live in a democracy!

didnt damon watson destroy one of those echo 72ep hubs in about a week??? my pro 2t has skipped once in 6 months! i'd use hope over king £120 for a rear hub as opposed to silly money for a king. makes monetary sense, if u break the hope, u can buy another and still have change from what u would spend on some kings. but that wont happen because hope'll fix it for u.
-
ash-kennard, agree with what u said the pro 2 t will be better given the extra ep and it is. having ridden both hubs now i definitely need to try and land meself another trials model. but what i mean is, because of stronger springs and much larger pawls the 24 ep version is more reliable than mono/xc less skippage. ride with more confidence.
-
tried it loved it best hub ive ever used, stop moaning it'll be worth the wait. got the pro 2 xc now and thats better than any XC/mono ive used. so if you really dont have any patience at all just buy them they are available now, same springs and pawls etc as trials version but longer freehub barrel so the wheel isnt dishless. lets see if we can go a month before the next "where's this hub" topic!

wasnt it this company you screwed out of about 5 sets by "winning" their competition online??

its been said many times before (possibly in here i didnt read all posts) thumbs are the way forward, the way we use them separates us from monkeys trialsboy, i agree with u i work in a bike shop, its great "can u fix this puncture" reply "yes" 5-ten mins later depending on which wheel it is "thatll be £8 please, 4 fitting 4 tube"
