SCMP gone to the dogs

Many of us complain the SCMP has gone to the dogs. Now, in the "things you don't expect to see on page 4 of the newspaper", comes...

Happy birthday, Sharen. The same picture can be seen from Harcourt Rd., near the Excelsior Hotel and has been spotted near the Aberdeen Marina Club.

Something about money and sense, or fools and their money, or barking up the wrong tree...

People ask what has changed in HK since the handover in 1997...read a pre-1997 SCMP and you will figure it out.

The doofus that put that ad up did it last year too, in casueway bay at windsor house (hardly an out of the way location).

I am picturing 2nd or 3rd generation HK old money, is part of the family business, and doesn't have much to worry about.

Even better, the big ad at Causeway Bay is signed from "Shi Tzu Daddy" rather than Laurence. Who's your Daddy?

Incredible how money can be wasted on the rich.
