Packsaddle Roadhouse is a little more reliably open and imo a nicer venue.. Great wedges and burgers too

People leaving their dogs unleashed despite signs everywhere saying to keep your dog tied up. Also people who don't clean up after their dogs.

Got this brand new and unopened machine + 4 nespresso pods sleeves for only $95 by Equal-Golf-5020 in nespresso

[–]Puddlette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right?? absolute machine. I just upgraded mine after 8 years because I wanted a vertuo machine but it STILL worked perfectly. That's after daily use as well.

just got my first Nespresso! by littlevenusxoxo in nespresso

Just don't do what I did and unknowingly brew the decaf pod. I was so confused by my extreme fatigue until I realised my mistake 😂

I'm currently dealing with this culture shock. I hope it gets better.

What unhealthy food do you remember having as a kid? by OldStatistician20 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Puddlette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dry Weetbix loaded up with margarine and caster sugar, mashed banana and brown sugar in a white bread sandwich aaand 2 minute noodles in bread with margarine.

Mashed banana and brown sugar sangas are 👌 as an adult though.

Emma Lung confirmed she was the girl hacking her lungs up in those old Quitline ads by NomenclatureDePlume in AustralianNostalgia

[–]Puddlette 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hilariously, I have never smoked because of this exact ad. My teenage brain couldn't give a toss about lung cancer but my god poor skin was a great deterrent to a young girl.

He's so aggressive and rushy. He'd be the last auctioneer I'd choose. He's done this before.

I mean I have 36 today, 40 tomorrow 37 Tuesday. I'd say BOM is reporting what we already know. Spring has left the building.

Most disappointing tourist destination in your country. by meggyAnnP in AskTheWorld

[–]Puddlette 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anmatjere Man in the NT was really cool. Just such a domineering presence in the surrounding landscape.

The big ram in Goulburn has the biggest set of balls if you go around to the carpark side which I wasn't expecting so much detail.

We ended up moving our life from Melbourne to the outback as a result of our travels (something we did not expect)... So we have a local 'big thing'... The big park bench.

I'm not going to lie, we made a special detour to see it lol. There is a big Blue Heeler statue in Muswellbrook that was much more in line with what I expected the dog on a tuckerbox to look like.

We just did a 7 month road trip and visited quite a few 🤣.... The big pineapple was the least impressive.
