Oil spill fiasco

The Big Squirt Fiasco
For a supposedly smart nation – the good ol’ US of A has some pretty stupid engineers RE: the massive oil blow out 1.5 Kilometers under the sea, in the Gulf of Mexico. Did you all cop an eyeful of the bullsh*t complicated scrap metal yard they have over the well head?. Now I know what I’m talking about because someone very, very close to me, is an oil man. A master engineer, no less. I followed the exploits of oil trouble shooters in the sixties [ Red Adair for one ] and while this deep well presents problems because of pressure, it certainly is not un-solvable if these wankers would stop trying to reinvent the wheel and think outside of the box [ As well as look to the past methodologies ].
The idea now is to plug the well, not valve it because things are now way out of hand. To do this, you have to get rid of all that surrounding crap so that you have just the well head [ which is internally sleeved by the original drill pipe].
There are at least two methods to plug this sucker without pouring thousands of tons concrete into it. To refresh you old oil men [ are there any left?] – we can use explosives safely only because fire don’t burn under water.
Method one: This uses the ‘string of beads’ valve. First you get a pipe that can slip inside the well pipe. The pipe is open at both ends but the top end has a valve on it. Around the valve is a massive donut with sufficient weight to sink the pipe into the well pipe. The valve is left open to allow oil to flow out of it else the pressure would push THIS pipe out of the well head no matter what weight you have on it. The key to this method is this. In various places down your valve pipe, you place circular flat pack explosives [ like a string of beads or in this case – mini donuts]. When the valve pipe is in place, you detonate the explosives so that the valve casing pipe is bulged out to form multi corks. The top valve is still left open because you don’t want to blow the crap out of your new valve on detonation, and you certainly don’t want to fire the valve pipe out of the well head like a bullet. At this latter point we can be hopeful of several things. Firstly, the valve sleeve pipe is now jammed against the well head pipe in multiple places. Next we slowly shut the mother down. Problem solved .
The second method is one many don’t favor because it’s a bit iffy. You get a second drill head BIGGER than the original and grind it down over the original head pipe. This takes longer and there is a risk of causing a bigger blow out than you already have. If successful, you can now use an oversize valve on your new well pipe.
I can’t believe these retards haven’t tried these methods but then again!!!.

chinese crap

I never pay more than $30 for a pair of casual shoes and I usually buy them for work anyway. I saw a bargain in shoes on the stand ’buy one pair get a second pair free’ WOW! Can’t go wrong. So I bought 2 pair at $29:95, one pair black, one pair brown. I didn’t need to wear them straight away so I put them in the wardrobe till my old pair wore out. 2 Months later, I pulled them out and discovered the ‘color’ was cheap dipped resin type plastic and was peeling off in chunks. I was going to throw them out when, on closer examination, I discovered the shoe was actually made of pure Suede
Apparently, our cheap Chinese shoe manufacturer thought it was cheaper still to plastic dip the shoes for color rather than dye the ‘leather’. After scraping off all the plastic color, I now have a very expensive pair of Grey Suede shoes. What morons. Not bad for 30 bucks – 2 pair of pure Suede shoes even if they are Grey.
