Its a Ricky Gervais quote, I wish I could take credit for it. 

 

It  does sum up Vesp rather well though.

Just hang on Joe, he'll tell you how to do it. That said you'd do just as well listening to me telling you how to do it.

Well we've had his reply. Reckon you can beat "it would take a long time using kit I don't have and can't afford. I'd start by fucking everything under the tree and then visit the client"?

But no, Im sure it will go way over your head but when an Oil Company Invests in a new Oil Platform they have done their homework and can foresee with a large degree of confidence that there is sufficient reserves to justify over a Billion Dollars of Investment.  Johan Sverdrup alone will produce between 2.1 and 3.1 Billion Barrels of Oil on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, this is just one of the many new fields off of Norway.

 

The Clair Ridge West of Shetland will produce 120,000 barrels per day. The shitty old Platform Im on just now, the Ninian South is almost rusted away yet will still produce till after 2040. I'll be close to retirement then and when decommissioning starts I'll have to pull all the Completions I installed and safely abandon the Wells. 

 

But yet again you have just shown how naive and ignorant you are when it comes to a skillset outside of your remit. Stick to Grass Cutting wee man.  

The word "you're" looking for is gamble..   gamble that the price of oil remains stable... and high..  

 

after much research on the subject were I once believed oil prices would exponentially rise, I had to rethink my conclusions and came to the conclusion oil prices will instead become ever more erratic as extremes of price bounce from one extreme to the other..

 

certainly has been working out just as I predicted some yrs back...   only gonna get worse going forward...

Well in my defense if I was a tree surgeon I'd invest in kit and have the lot..  I can't justify investing in kit if I only ever do the odd job now can I..  

 

My 12 inch bandit is a TP100 and my arb claw crane is a length of rigging rope given me by someone who worked for the electric board..   I have 8*5 tipping trailer and ten by five caged general purpose trailer..    plus a broken down, down rated Iveco..   

 

on the plus side I have a zigzag and a captain hook..   bet you haven't got a captain hook have you?.....    

 

So, yea, considering its a hobby and not a living I think I'm doing alright equipment wise...

No, the word you're in this context is absolutely correct and you are yet again 100% wrong. 

 

 

Your (correct context) research is utterly worthless. You have zero education, training or  experience in this field and base your 'research' on spurious internet searches. Seriously, stick to putting petrol (irony intended) in your mower and move on.  

 

And if everything works out the way you predicted why are you pushing a Mower around instead of living the high life in the South of France on a Yacht with a bevie of Beauties? Surely you'd have shorted the market and become very rich, but no, you scratch a living and as sure as shit you'll say its just the way you intended.

 

Utter  buffoon.

I'm afraid he's beat me, the few trees I've needed removing have been done by lads from Arbtalk, I know my limits.
