Silly Picture Thread.

Hmmmm...okay:If it takes 3 women 9 months to make 4 babies, how many babies will 7 women make in 6 months???

If it's in Logan City, the question is how much will it end up costing the taxpayer ...

If it takes a council worker 1hr to dig a hole 1m x 1m x 1m, how long would it take him to dig half a hole

Depends if he was digging for the whole time. And if it was a female council worker, she'd have it done in half the time.

 

 

[Birdseye]

Since when did it only require one council worker to dig a hole; it takes at least three.

You are correct, here are the facts.

 

There were two fellas working for the city council, one would dig a hole, the other would follow behind him and fill it in.

They worked furiously all day without rest, one guy digging a hole, the other guy filling it in again.

An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what they were doing.

So he asked the hole digger, "I appreciate the effort you're putting into your work, but what's the story? You dig a hole and your partner follows behind and fills it up again.

The hole digger wiped his brow and sighed, "Well, normally we're a three-man team, but the bloke who plants the trees is off sick today!"

This is the silly picture thread so a post must contain a picture or it wouldn't be silly.

After driving some 3000 kms over the last 3 weeks, primarily Sydney to Brisbane and back through the 80% of it road works, I didn't see anything getting dug, but a hell of a lot of traffic control guys.

 

 

[planedriver]

Can't beat a bit of forward planning mate!

 

Most of them probably tell the family that they are in the traffic control industry (sounds impressive to me?) even if that amounts to being a "stop" lollipop wiggler.

Not in New South Wales!

 

I live near some of part of the initial road infrastructure upgrades for the new airport at Badgerys Creek. and have had the chance, whilst sitting in traffic jams caused by said infrastructure upgrades, to observe the manpower requirements of hole digging.

 

You need a minimum of two traffic controllers on each end of the length of road where the hole is to go.

 

Then there is the third guy who drives the small vehicle that carries the stop/go signs on a pole, witches hats and "Flagman Ahead" signs. This guy also transports he traffic controllers to and from the site for tea and meal breaks.

 

There's the surveyor and chain man who locates the position of the hole from the approved plan. (They can utilise the traffic control crew if they don't bring there on. Just have to replace the Flagman Ahead signs with "Surveyors on the Road" signs.)

 

There's the site manager who walks around with a copy of the approved plan in his clipboard and liaises with the surveyor and the foreman of the gang which is going to did the hole.

 

Then there's the gang itself. We've noted the Foreman. There's also the Safety Officer who keeps an eye on WH&S requirements, and the First Aid Officer in case anyone gets an injury.

 

The communications controller makes sure that there is an active 4G phone link functioning at all times. That's done by continuous monitoring of a mobile phone.

 

The hole inspectors are there to make sure that round holes are round and square holes are square.

 

The spoil monitor is the fellow who keeps the earth from the hole in a tidy pile.

 

Finally there is the hole digging unit (2 persons) which is responsible for creating the hole.

I naughtily posted the above on a blog were we were discussing similar 'Excess Manning' horror stories, which elicited this reply :

 

I had 12 men from Severn Trent Water to change an outside water supply stopcock.

 

2 to close off road and put up closed signs

 

2 to dig out around the stopcock

 

2 to change stopcock

 

2 to refill and tarmac around stopcock

 

2 to check work was done

 

2 different guys to take away the road closed signs.

 

Then I got a bill for £1200. despite the hole being dug and the stopcock being ready to connect..

 

20 min job. '' It's the cost of the Traffic Management' mate was the answer.. Nuts - - - totally gone bloody nuts.[/Quote]

But look what it does to the unemployment figures.

 

Just heard that our Qld premier announced a $100,000,000 upgrade to the 100 cell prison at Rocky.

 

When asked to explain the million per cell all she could say was "Jobs, jobs,jobs" If you think that is stupid you had better believe that is is probably better than the opposition could do.

I take offence to the prison cell $ splash comment

 

Queensland is the smart state ......... this honey coated vote swayer has got o be good for us ?

It's 200 million for 164 cells and the further cost of 70 permanent jobs.

 

Unbelievable how they can justify those costs, how about getting society cleaned up so they aren't needed in the first place.

A gram of prevention is worth a tonne of cure.

 

Why do we copy the American way of doing things? Their prison system has been a monumental failure (but gives a felony record to lots of blacks who might otherwise have voted Democrat). Even the US has woken up and has started closing jails in favour of rehab.
