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!

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:

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)

Hello! And welcome to the 124th EVER newsletter from rathergood!

We have created literally the best thing ever. Here is Pork Force!

http://www.rathergood.com/porkforce

Marvel as the porcine warriors fight for your freedom!

You will be needing a Pork Force t-shirt. They are the must-have accessory for the summer. You can get one here:

Hey, I've whacked a few photos from the Pork Force shoot on flickr if you're interested:

You can get the mp3 of the Pork Force Theme from the music page as usual:

I think that's about it for this week, except to tell you how much I love you. I love you so hard I'd make you a delicious shin cup! Everyone knows that shin cups are the most delicious thing that a human can possibly eat- it's right there in the second law of zakthermodynamics- and that's SCIENCE! When you eat a shin cup it makes you SHINVINCIBLE! It's a massive rush! The best rush you can get! Better than any other rush there is in the world!

I'll tear out my shins and whittle them in to a cup for you! A wonderful shin cup all of your very own! There's one small problem, which is that I'm not a hundred percent sure whether you're supposed to make a cup from shins, or have a cup containing shins. I'm not sure which way round it is. I guess whichever I choose, there's a 50% chance I'll be giving you the greatest gift it is possible for one human to give to another, and a 50% chance I'll just be knacking up my shins. So I guess I'll do the whittling my shins in to a cup thing, rather than tearing them out and putting them in a cup, and hopefully you will be RUSHING LIKE A BLEEDIN' POLECAT WITH ITS FACE STUCK IN A JAR OF DISHWASHER RINSE-AID!

If I achieve that, then my shins will have transcended, and their loss will be well worth it to me. If I got it the wrong way round and the cup made of my shins just depresses you and makes you feel maudlin and lucklustre, then I'll have totally knacked up my shins for no good reason and I'll be gutted, frankly. But hey, I'm willing to take that risk, because I LOVE YOU THAT HARD OH GOD YES I DO.

Mwah mwah extrasuperduperhugsandkisses!

Yours sincerely
