Gargantuan Monolith!
- 8 December 2008 09:0510550"round and round and round it goes
but what it is nobody knows!"
This very large new structure is nearing completion but what is it for? Massive amounts of heavy grade equipment have been on site for ages knocking this monolith into shape...and its large! I thought they were building the new exit road but no it looks to me like those old fashioned football terraces. Okay so we now have the terraces but where's the pitch?? hmmm yes the pitch might be prone to water logging twice a day!
However, seriously for a moment. Is this thing a wave breaker, but if it is just a wave breaker, is it a tad overkill.. a tad expensive. In the old days they would have dumped a few boulders in to confuse mother nature's breakers.
I spent many happy hours watching and indeed photgraphing fantastic waves breaking on this spot so there goes another photo opportunity.email: dover7@msn.com - 8 December 2008 10:0710554Wow! It looks like DDC have uncovered a Gladiatorial arena from ancient Roman times. I can just see picnicers of the future sitting there having their sarnies whilst basking in the sunshine, watching the dinghies sailing to and fro.

8 December 2008 20:1710581its allright howard they havent been feed for a week. - 9 December 2008 00:2610603I know what it is, quite foolish of you guys not to have realised.
It's the start of BGs pyramid.
At the moment he is above all others.
The picture is of his burial place. No sand, Nile or sphynx's. Just ferries and pictures of little trolly dollies on the walls and how much he got paid in bonuses.
I do hope it does'nt stay for A THOUSAND YEARS.

Vic Matcham. - 9 December 2008 20:2610678great stuff ian, perhaps his embalmed body will eventually come to the attention of future archeologists.
let us hope that they do not take the bandages off of the face first. - Brian Dixon

9 December 2008 20:3910684ooooooh mummy. - 12 December 2008 09:2610868This gargantuan monolith got a tiny two liner mention in the Dover Express this week...oh the excitement! It seems this great concrete carbuncle is running behind schedule. Cant think why. Weather gets the blame but they are working on it night and day under floodlights and without floodlights. Its all powering forward at breakneck speed. But boy is it ugly !!! wow!!
Yes its another eyesore, with all that attractive sex appeal normally associated with readymixed concret...oh bliss. When the sun shines it is dazzlingly bright, fits in with absolutely nothing else... so yes another carbuncle. Best appreciated at low tide for full impact.email: dover7@msn.com - 14 December 2008 16:4210949
