Just wondering if Maurie Mole was just a Newcastle/NSW thing?

Wondering the same thing about Big Dog

I used to have that doona cover.

Dunno about Maurie Mole but Big Dog definitely was. We never got it in Sydney but when visiting cousins in Newcastle I always found it hilariously provincial. Same thing now staying with my in-laws in the Gong - ads for tractors, sheds, and of course ads starring the company owner for some reason

My friend has a dachshund that gets extremely aggressive if anyone taller than say 5ft 10 approaches him.

his owner is 5ft 10 so i guess it makes sense? but i cant help but laugh at 'short, long dog mad at vertically long person'

Dachies are actually super aggressive even with good training, they’re proper hunting dogs and the instinct never quite leaves them. Mine gets triggered by small wheels, so he’ll go ballistic at wheelie bins, scooters, rolling suitcases, lawnmowers, skateboards etc.

I think they’re one of the “most likely to bite” breeds, they just get a pass because they’re cute and can’t rip a child to shreds like a staffy.

What exactly does Mexican food in Oz taste like?

We basically only get Tex-Mex food here. I spent a few months in Mexico last year (2022) and was surprised at just how different everything was. For example, we don't have corn tortillas at all (you can sometimes find them, but they're specialty products aimed at coeliacs). There aren't many actual authentic Mexican restaurants around, there's a handful of Taco Bell outlets (have never eaten there either here or in the US so I can't tell you how it compares), and there's an upmarket chain called Guzman y Gomez that's kinda similar to Chipotle.

But yeah the average Australian will equate "Mexican" with the Old El Paso stuff in the post you quoted.

Must say while mostly back in the day did look a bit poo poo, their were quite a few really nice looking old buildings and such around. Not all of it was just rose tinted glasses.

Yeah 100%, there's some great looking buildings in there alongside a cavalcade of poo poo. I'm a big sucker for Federation-style housing, when they're well maintained they're just beautiful, although a bit of a pain to live in (small rooms, impractical layouts and so on).

Pyrmont is kind of a weird place, I lived there for about 10 years in the late 2000s and early 2010s. All of those modern bland apartment blocks jostling for position, alongside boring beige 90s apartment buildings, then little pockets of poorly-maintained terraces and the big area of houso as well. And despite the location, it always felt like a quiet little village, particularly down around the point area.

Hah, I worked basically opposite the Lord Wolsely for a few years in the early 2010s (ironically just after I'd moved out of Pyrmont), and it's a cool little spot down there as well assuming you stay away from Harris Street. I lived mainly in the point area, north of Union Street which was super quiet - no real reason to go there unless you lived there (or it was NYE).
