THE KIND OF LITTER WE PICK UP EVERY DAY Cardboard boxes. Carrier bags. Bin liners. All serve equally well, some people think, for getting rid of unwanted animals. Left to die on motorway verges or council tips, the lucky survivors often end up on our doorstep. Blue Cross is a charity that finds homes for unwanted animals, and that cares for sick or injured animals whose owners cannot afford private vet fees. But, like these puppies, we need one thing to survive: your generosity. So please help by filling in the coupon. And remember - every penny counts. Blue Cross, Room 748 Shilton Road, Burford Oxon.

It’s curtains for poorly Anna-Jane OFF-COLOUR Chicago star Anna-Jane Casey, right, gamely tried to battle her way through the West End musical last week – only to find she lost her voice. Down came the curtain in the middle of Tuesday’s performance and when it went up again understudy Vanessa Leagh-Hicks had taken over as condemned prisoner Velma. Says a bemused member of the audience: ‘We thought it was the interval and were going to get an ice cream.’

ON THE THRONE CALMING INFLUENCE Two months after I met my boyfriend Dave I started having severe anxiety attacks. They often prevented me from going out. Dave could have left me but instead he stood by me through the worst of it. He was always understanding and encouraging. Now I’m much better and Dave had a large part to play in my recovery. Please put him on the throne. Ruth McLachlan Haydon Close, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

PICTURE THIS I was on my first date with Craig. After a lovely IN THE STOCKS night he asked me in for coffee. In his lounge he said: ‘Want to see my wedding album?’ He showed me photos of him and his ex-wife on their big day. We’re still together, but put him in the stocks for a week!

And if these don’t work, we hit them with the sarnie Super sandwich US Army scientists have come up with a replacement for the standard battlefield grub, the "Meal, Ready to Eat" [or as soldiers usually call it: "Meal, Rarely Edible!"] The Natick laboratory, which creates combat rations for American forces, has invented an indestructible sandwich! The "pocket" sarnie, which comes in pepperoni, barbecued chicken, beef nacho and peanut butter and jelly flavours, can survive a 3,000m airdrop, freezing Arctic chills, blistering desert heat, bacteria and moisture – and stays fresh for up to three years! So, what are the new lab-produced sandwiches like? Soldiers who have tasted the sci-fi sarnies have only described the taste as "acceptable"!

The biker’s view BIKE riders have several advantages over car and lorry users and one of their attributes is size, which clearly matters in heavy traffic. They can move into gaps and spaces that other vehicles cannot, but this sometimes encourages riders to take chances. Even though motor-cyclists might be aware of a potential hazard, they sometimes display poor risk management by carrying on regardless. They must also weigh up whether or not other road users can see them and should always take that into account before a manoeuvre. Safety is down to the individual. If you end up in hospital with broken limbs, it’s hardly the time to say: “It wasn’t my fault.”
