To all you, hoe rammers, breaking up our magnificent rock, in the name of another corporate goof, it is August, arguably, the finest month of summer in Nova Scotia. It is shameful enough, you allow that foreign entity to ram you up at 7:00am, but to continue on until after 5:00pm, well that is just being a cracking hoe, ignoring your neighbour and their joy of backyard eatery and frolic. It is obvious you don’t have an intimate partner to share the joy of this season, otherwise you would be chomping at your bit to get out of your hole asap, instead of pounding your meat to death for the greedy community opportunist. It is simply god respect, for nature’s sake, so stand on your stones and give us a break! —Givus Abreak

Oh, great…More pretentious drool from the guy that calls himself “Tennyson and Who Gives a Fuck”.
I’m guessing that OB is talking about the pneumatic jack hammer attachment on the arm of a back hoe/excavator. (Never heard the term “hoe rammer” before…well, at least not in this context anyway! Aay-ohhhhhh!)
What OB forgets is that while he/she may be on vacation and enjoying their summer, there are others out there that consider summer their peak season; construction in it’s various forms and specialties being one of the biggest.
Regardless of whether you are in favour of this project or not, (I’m guessing it’s the new convention centre that’s got your panties in a bunch?), it doesn’t change the fact that it IS being built. With that being said, they have to take full advantage of the seasonal weather conditions while they can, especially when doing structural foundations, because it won’t be long before there is frost on the pumpkin and while it’s not impossible to continue to do this work throughout the winter, the cost goes way up and deadlines keep getting pushed farther and farther back.
So, if 7:00 am, (when most of the city is already up and getting ready to go to work), is too early and 5:00 pm is too late, when do you propose they do the work? Perhaps they could adopt the concept of bigger cities and do construction at night. How would that sit with you?(I personally think this is the way to go for road construction).
So OB, may I suggest that on those days when they are “hoe ramming” (snicker) you either become a resident tourist and explore other parts of the city/province for the day, pop in your ipod, or stay inside. There is still plenty of prime, quality, summer backyard frolic time available in the evenings after they’ve knocked off for the day.
well the solution is obvious…
they should build it all offsite in the woods somewhere as a big jigsaw puzzle and then spend the couple days here to assemble it with very little disruption!
Duh… they’ve only been doing it the current way for…
what a few hundred years? more?
they know what they’re doing… leave em be.
they have to get that sucker started so the next entirely new council will have to just shrug and let it finish being built.
dammit, i thought this was gonna be a bitch about his girlfriend. my hopes are dashed today for a good bitch. shit.
What?
Anybody remember Harry Flemming’s approach?
