Great - the plop on the floor indicates that the latest issue of The Word has arrived. Bad news - the scrabble of claws over the hall floor indicates that the dog will get there before me. Disaster - the free cd case has teeth marks right through. It quickly becomes apparent that the dog didn't want me to hear any new music this month (perhaps he is fed up with the crystal clear sounds of Revolver) and has destroyed my free Now Hear This cd.

Now for the appeal - would any member of the massive who routinely bins the free cd care to donate their unwanted copy, so that dog can live? We've only had him for a month, so it would be a shame if it had to end like this.........
