Thank you lovely!! I hope you get all of your offers too when you (eventually!) send yours off insha'Allah :smile: oh and good luck with the reference thing, sounds like hell haha I had to wait ages for mine and I'm still at college! I might take a gap year though so I may go through the same thing -_-

Why would you want to take a gap year?

Nope, I'm curious as to know why someone would purposely take a gap year. There's very little point as you're essentially wasting time. If you flopped your exams then it's understandable you'd want to take an un-planned gap year but otherwise :hmmmm2:. Each to their own.

Does this make any sense.. so I came up with a theory that a monopolistic firm which posses price leadership traits can produce output where MC=MR and are able to be statically efficient (both productively & allovatively) with pure First degree price discrimination. Although at the cost of eradicating consumer surplus.



If I'm mistaken could you please explain why.

P=MC & AC=MC=P.. It makes perfect mathematic sense but I feel it's difficult to comprehend. AR=MR must equate to Y=-MX+C because Marginal revenue becomes the AR curve if each consumer is getting charged full price. Critique away.


I want someone to look at this and tell me what they think!

Because I may want to reapply to different universities. Or maybe just for a break from studying. Why does it matter anyway?

I might do. Depends on what grades I get, if I get AAA+ then I will reapply to different universities. I'm not sure if I want to go to King's anymore because I've heard lots of stuff about the quality of the English course there and there are far better unis that ask for AAA

I recently came across this article while looking for some information on a certain event in somalia.

A maternity hospital in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, has been forced to close after a doctor who removed a woman's womb in a life-saving operation received death threats from her family.
The doctor insists the surgery was essential but her family says she is "as good as dead" because she can no longer bear children.
The family, who are reportedly claiming compensation of 50 camels, hired gunmen to threaten staff at the city's SOS hospital.

Quite shocking, even if the article is old.

I'm curious when it comes to things where I have a difference of opinion with someone.

Hmm.. difficult to explain.. I drew a fairly simplistic diagram to illustrate my point. The EU competition act encourages competition as the Law of perfect competition is that Firms in the Long-run would be statically efficient whilst breaking even. I'm suggesting that Pure monopolistic firms don't need their markets to be contestable to offer the same level of efficiency whilst making abnormal profits in the short-term and with incentives to also be dynamically efficient. This could help UK export markets as R&D process innovation can drive down Average costs. By implementing 1st Degree Price discrimination these firms charge exactly what consumers are willing to pay.. This level of efficiency is technically acting in the public interest whilst allowing firms to maximise profits and provides an incentive for firms to be both productively efficient and x-efficient by producing where MC=MR and the lowest point of their Average cost curve.

Does it make sense? I'm going to start a debate of it with my classmates but I want to assure that I've expressed it well enough. I really don't think privatisation is the solution to anything. Milton Friedman argued that Nationalisation and Privatisation is comparing one inefficiency against another. I think he failed to realise the hypocracy in his arguments and the UK government being retarded decided to listen. :sad: Look to where that's got us. The banks for instance.. regulatory capture as a result of de-regulation. Financial collapse > Double dip recession.

I've tried the cadbury fruit and nut mix and didn't like it but still ate it as i was having a sweet craving that day :tongue:

It didn't appeal very much to my taste buds though

Well at least you tried, beats nothing right?
