Hahaha bonkers reason to start a thread, and crazy thread title. I really do love happy clappers

Let us know what you think after you’ve been there pls.

Bit simplistic. Any entity, including a football team, has to have a purpose/set of values and a leader will ensure that is carried through whatever the situation on the pitch. See lampard and terry at mourinho Chelsea and Henderson at Liverpool. Unfortunately we don’t seem to have any values and no one on the pitch that will see it is implemented if we’re 5-0 up or down

There’s plenty of enthusiasm. Unfortunately the most incompetent generation in living memory is still in charge. Once they’re washed away there may be change/may be too late

Defo do have a choice in a myriad of different ways. Anyway 1.5 and even prob 2 is long gone. Should concentrate on adaptation now and not be so focused on climate whilst forgetting other environmental factors

Aus 3-0 win. England too arrogant and stupid. Seems a long time ago eng bowled them out at a sold out mcg for 98 then got to 120-0 at the end of the day. We were shouting at a wall in the car park at the end of that day after a ‘slab’ each.

Ahhhhhhhhh ok, got there in the end. Understood!

Some incredibly broad statements said very confidently and leaving my very confused LOL. Market rate for a grad/associate is £150-190 an hour, partner at £700 are you charging that and making 10% on top?! Whilst working 9-5?!

Very broad statement. If 'most' consultants are hitting 10% profit their charge out rates must be artificially low. Or they're outsourcing everything to Mauritius at £50 an hour. Given you said you didn't know about Mauritius I am guessing you don't out source, in which case I assume you must be underpaying your staff compared to market?

That is interesting, other way round in my experience. Way too much risk in public contracts and onboarding costs are too high. If you are making 30-40% in PROFIT that is unbelievable. I price jobs to make a 60% recovery. Break even is fantastic, consistent profit is unheard of IMO.

How do I get in on it? And when you say riches, what is the actual margin, taking into account the additional risk of a public contract which will erode profitability? And can I outsource all the work to Mauritius?

There should be a happy clapper tax when we get good again and they all come running back.

If it's a lucrative business and a cash cow, how do I get in it, and why aren't you in it. You seem to be in the know.

Yeh of course. Equity and bond holders where financing always has a risk rating and can be subject to a haircut. Am I missing an obvious trap here Lol

One of our key clients redid the whole first floor of their office, must’ve cost tens of thousands. They didn’t really like it so ripped it out and did it again, must’ve costs tens of thousands. Looks great now though. Does this mean the entire private sector is wasteful and a joke.

All corporates are like this because people do not care about something they do not pay for. Come and see my workplace if you want to see wasted money, it's a lot worse than leaving the thermostat on 25

This forum is so much better now the happy clapper threads are back, this alongside the thread where happy clappers are discussing how happy and clappy they are after giving up their STs is brilliant work time toilet break reading. But no, won't go down, we're useless and have still won 4 matches. We can't score a goal but have still scored over a goal per game I think

I love let em come, best football song in the uk. Then they ruin it with hey Jude the f4ckers

You have defo heard them, you just don't believe them

You’re prob right, being flash as well. He is a f4ckwit but a v funny one.

I know what you’re saying but the world moves on rapidly. Get on board or get left behind and rot away. It will be an attractive proposition. Right now as the poster above says air source heat pumps are extortionate and maintenance is tough, as tech advances prices will come down sharpish. Those happy clappers stuck in their ways and unwilling to change because of a misguided belief will be punished, and I support that because that’s what Darwin intended. My old colleague got a 1st generation Tesla, £110k cash but free charging for life. Thats the kind of foresight a winner has. Whilst dense happy clappers were laughing at him for being too woke

I understand what O&G has done for the world, but as you rightly say, science moves on. Why should I care about what O&G has done for me when a more profitable power source is available. I don't care about fossil fuels, there's no money in them, nostalgia won't change my opinion on that. You shouldn't be so negative and victim-complex, be positive and get off social media. If you want to ignore industry, science, commerce and the smart money and stay stuck to the past, you're gonna get everything you deserve. Clean energy is an incredible investment opportunity, join the train or be a sucker and end up paying for it.

Yes agreed defo costly. But that won’t be an income statement cost, it’ll be an investment on the balance sheet which I’m betting heavily will turn into a long term sustainable profit stream for our country. We need huge amounts of power to stay relevant during this Industrial Revolution. Legacy fuels won’t meet that demand. The problem is morons turn it into a political issue, and other morons believe them. Making money is apolitical and if we can make the world more habitable I’m further in

Haha touché my friend. That was funny. Anyway better stop before I get banned. Touching on your actual point, be positive. Net zero is the biggest profit making opportunity of our generation, possibly ever. The new world will demand electrification of everything, at a huge scale. You think legacy fossil fuels will allow that? Obvs not, oil n gas is way too expensive and time consuming to extract, the fuels make no rational sense. There are plenty of investable opportunities in clean energy. Don’t go on Facebook and get angry, make some money instead
