Like many, I have gotten very very into the World Cup this year and scored an Aus themed scarf at an op shop this afternoon but can’t find anything about it. While it’s green and gold and has a kangaroo, the tag is branded as “Lemsip” which is obviously a cold/flu medication.

Does anyone remember a promotion where Lemsip gave out free scarves?? Google has so far been no help (and the ai summary has only told me that lemsip and scarves are two different things but both are a great way to feel better when you have a cold 🙄)

Inspired by a recent thread on shows people wanted to like but didn’t, I wanted to ask the community about shows they were pleasantly surprised by. This could either mean a show they went into expecting not to enjoy or not knowing.

For me, this show was Be More Chill. One of my local amateur theatre companies put this show on and I went into it expecting an overly emotional and angsty teen musical with a contemporary score where all the songs sound kind of the same but was happy to be proven wrong! The score was quirky and fun but dramatic when it needed to be and I thought the book found a good balance between absurdist, edgy humour and genuine heartfelt emotion.
