anything economics will include a hell of a lot of maths especailly if you do a BSc in it, dont go to the LSE (london school of economics) it sucks and has no social life, thats why i left, although london is awesome to ride. i do economics and geography at sheffield uni (not hallam) and its brill place to be, but the econ dept is in a shocking state and i would not apply to do econ here had i know this. geog dept is fine though! psychology has a maths paper in most places as does geog (these are stats modules). maths gets tagged onto everything because no one in their right mind would do it on its own (only my opinion). all maths in degrees is doable if you work at it i got 89% in my exam this time which amazed me. what makes uni good? you do! sounds sad but its true the more you get ivolved with things the more fun you will have, work at your subject, do extra reading it helps a lot (takes up riding time though). go to all the open days, i turned durham down because there were some arrogant toffs on the open day who thought i was below them because i come from yorkshire. also, durham has far too many oxbridge rejects (my girlfriend is the only person i know who is there who didnt apply to oxbridge) who still, even in their final year moan and feel hard done by because they didnt get into oxford/cambridge - GET OVER IT. sorry but those people wind me up, open days are a good skive from 6th form and THE best way to get an idea of the potential peers u will meet. best way to get an idea of the subject is to get to someone u know's lectures. open days are rubbish for finding out about your subject B at gcse maths to do economics is NOT enough hope this helps

Should Smokers Get Free Health Care On The Nhs?
matthewholdsworth replied to Smo™'s topic in Chit Chat
yeah they are paying for it when they buy cigs one thing they should ban is smoking outside hospitals, there is nothing worse than going to a hospital and seeing people hooked up to drips outside smoking away. erm hang on they are being treated with tax payers money, whether its their own or not, and they do something like that. really annoys me, why should they get help if they dont want to help themselves, if i had a lung tumour/heart disease/smoking related illness i would do everything in my power to stop to give myself more chance of a longer life. if you are hooked to a drip because u smoke surely that tells anyone with 1 and a half brain cells to rub together something isnt right. all this addiction rubbish, its all will power, and not that i ever would, but if ever started smoking i know i could give up. my grandad did and it probably gave him an extra 10 years! he gave up smoking because my mum said he couldnt see me if he still smoked! all it takes is strong will rant over (Y) -
hawyzee signing for DB, could well be due to money???? thos ebikes have been about for ages u should see them in the flesh, even worse than the pics the top tube is really thin from the side but u could iron on it, its that wide looking down on it

very similar to the raven too. not that i meant to spark controversy it was late ish and my tired eyes saw two different frames when i looked! whats the wheelbase designed to be on it?
-
i agree with u mark, ur goin to get the best frame if u take off others. i dont dislike long/low/silver bikes, even though mine is short and burgundy! evolution, it how humans got to be what we are today, taking the best bits of our ancestors. blimey that was very darwinesque of me
-
anyone see how this frame could be the hybrid offspring of the coust frame and a koxx levelboss, or is it just me? hope u dont mind me using this pic tart?? :blink:"

it is indeed a 90 with 10 degree rise, it has improved my riding loads, i couldnt believe the difference it made. used to have a xero stem (90, 0). the hope weighs virtually nothing and is so neatly machined. go for the 110 if u want i dunno how it will feel going from 25 to 10 degree rise but itll look the business. i ride mainly street and its great for that hope this helps
