bloody farmers always whinging about rain until their cows get wet feet

Cameron Diaz2026-07-08T03:35:48.000Z

lol maybe try not building bridges in floodplains then

Ruby Fraser2026-07-08T03:45:48.000Z

it's not the cows mate it's the crops about to rot in the ground

40 minute detour for a 15 minute drive? that's my whole lunch break wasted ffs

Sam North2026-07-08T04:31:48.000Z

you'd think for all those rates we pay they'd have a plan beyond sandbags

Sam North2026-07-08T04:00:48.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed councils do nothing until it's too late then act surprised

Ruby Fraser2026-07-08T04:16:48.000Z

mate I've been saying for years we need better drainage out here but nobody listens until the bridges start floating away

Cameron Diaz2026-07-08T04:36:48.000Z

Morgan Lee2026-07-08T05:20:48.000Z

hope the farmers have their gumboots on. mine are still caked in mud from last week

Ruby Fraser2026-07-08T06:11:48.000Z
