Helloooooooooooooo! And welcome to the 128th EVER newsletter from rathergood!

I've got something truly AWESOME for you this week! Behold the wonder and joy that is the Internet Animal Orchestra!

http://www.rathergood.com/orchestra

I think you'll agree that is the greatest achievement of the animal kingdom in history.

Hey, I bet you've always wanted to see a raw chicken sing “Don't you Want Me” by The Human League haven't you! WELL NOW YOU CAN YOU LUCKY THING!

In other news we've got a special offer on the rathergood iPhone app. It's just 59p / 99 cents for a limited time only:

You know you want it.

Also, Monster Truck dived head-first in to the toilet this week. He really is a bit of a moron sometimes. A loveable, spiky-footed, soggy-headed little moron.

Right, I think that's about it, except to tell you that I love you. I LOVE YOU SO HARD! I'd do anything for you! I'd use special voodoo magic to raise Noel Coward from the dead, then I'd force his tortured undead corpse to compose a charming, jaunty ditty espousing my love for you in great detail! It'll really make you chortle! He's such a card, that tortured undead corpse Noel Coward! I'll force him to make a ukulele from his own rotting intestines stretched over some bits of his bones and play it! HAHA THAT WILL BE SO CHARMING HAR HAR HAR!

Mwah mwah sexykisses!

Yours sincerely

Hellooooooooooooooo! And welcome to the 127th EVER newletter from rathergood!

We've made an iPhone app with our friends Neon Play! YEAH! It's got silly games and vids and useful sounds, and even an exclusive video for our new song “I've Got An iPhone” - so this is all totally cool and amazing if you've got an iPhone. Get it while it's hot!

http://bit.ly/rathergoodapp

The song is out as a single on iTunes too- you should totally get it. Here it is:

Hey, even if you haven't got an iPhone you can still have fun this week! Here's Lovely Pairs – it's a match the pairs game with a brilliant song to go with it:

http://www.rathergood.com/pairs

Isn't that lovely?

I think that's about it for this week, except to tell you that I love you! I love you SO HARD! I'd make more brain for you! So you can have a bigger brain with more thoughts and happinesses in it! I'd get myself a drill and I'd find people who didn't need all their brains (which is basically everyone except me and you) and then i'd use the drill to get in to the brain bit and then I'd get a plunger and suck out the brains with the plunger and I'd go round to your house and i'd use the drill to get in to your brain bit and I'd squish all those new brains in to your brain area thereby increasing your brain capacity and therefore your ability to experience happiness.

I'll do myself as well, and then we'll be the cleverest, happiest people in the history of humanity! It's going to be GREAT!

Mwah mwah extrasuperduperhugsandkisses!

Yours sincerely

Hellooooooooooooooo! And welcome to the 126th EVER newsletter from rathergood!

I have a very special thing for you today. This is Uncle Wormsley's Christmas:

http://www.unclewormsley.com/

Clearly there is a lot more to this story, hold on tight and I'll let you know when there's more!

We've got a couple of Uncle Wormsley tshirts available, you should totally buy them. Look, here they are:

I think that's about it for this week! It's a short new newsletter but one of particularly high quality I'm sure you'll agree!

The only thing that remains is to let you know that I love you. I love you so much I would pull you in a celestial flying cart across the sky! I'll give you a magic belt and a pair of magic steel gloves, each of which will give you the power to wield your new enchanted hammer (did I mention I will also give you an enchanted hammer)?

The belt will be called Beltsforth, the gloves will be called Glovesforth 1 and Glovesforth 2, and the hammer will be called HAMMERTIME!  I'll pull you across the sky in the cart while you swing the  massive mighty HAMMERTIME around, sending lightning bolts crashing down to smash mountains asunder!

When you get hungry you can just roast me and eat me and then as long as no bones are broken just waft HAMMERTIME around over me and all my meat will grow back and I can resume pulling you through the skies in your enchanted cart, which will be called Austin Maxi 1485cc.

Mwah Mwah extrasuperduperhugs!

Yours sincerely

Hello! And welcome to the 125th EVER update from rathergood!

I have a serious dose of cuteness for you today! We have anew member of our family. His name is Monster Truck and he is a kitten. He likes to chase string and also he likes to chomp things. Look! He is already starring in his first song. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Monster Truck's first public outing in the soon-to-be-classic-of-the-genre, Kitten Chasing A Piece Of String!

This is London Briidge Is Falling Down - the classic children's song, as performed by Zak Veitch (and using Tower Bridge instead of London Bridge as it looks nicer)
