... trouble is, I kept forgetting to make that call!
Maybe this "pow kar liow" (versatile, all-round useful) device can help forgetful people, including those who forget where their children (categorised in the ad, together with pets, as "things" or as spelled here, ""valubles") are...
Meanwhile, this ad below seeking volunteers keeps popping up in the papers. I think my fellow coffee addicts are -- like me -- put off by the "infusion procedure (clamp)" thing. Why would one want to volunteer for something and be held down, as if one were about to be tortured? And what's this about "infusion"? Is that why there seems to be few takers?...
At least those who do volunteer won't be lashed. But there seems to be a requirement elsewhere for lashing specialists. Prisons Department? And do the successful applicants have to still learn the ropes?...
As I have highlighted before, there will always be ads making promises. You deserve a verbal lashing if you have not done any due diligence before acting on these..
While you have to be sharp when it comes to appealing ads such as those above, you can -- just for the mental exercise of staying alert -- look out for interesting quirks in the papers, like this ad below...
Old school journalists like me have been taught to treat captions with as much care as we would the story itself. So, in the picture above, one must have the confidence to know that the Chinese warship was visiting Australia (Sydney's Opera House and Harbour Bridge are in the background). Including this detail in makes the caption so much more complete!

I have enough stuff still for a "Spotted, Part 3" tomorrow. So I'll wrap up with these two noteworthy items -- a commentary and a news story:
