Helloooooooooooooo! And welcome to the103rd EVER newsletter from rathergood!

We have made this lovely mashup song thingy with Stephen Fry! I love the smell of LOL!

Yays! Footage is from the BBC Digital Revolution whatsit.

Also, I've got this terrifying footage of a Great White Shark attack for you

http://www.rathergood.com/shark

Horrifying isn't it!

In other news, you should totally buy rathergood toys and tshirts as christmas presents for everyone you know, and lots of people you don't as well! They are totally the best thing anyone could ever hope to have!

http://www.printshop.co.uk/rathergood/

Oh wow everyone is going to love you SO MUCH when they open their present and find a rathergood toy or tshirt in there! WOW! You are going to be SO POPULAR!

Anyway, I think that about wraps it up for today, except to tell you how much I love you. I love you SO HARD! I'd bleed myself a bit every day, and cut out bits of fat from around my stomach, and mix it all up with herbs and pearl barley to make a delicious Black Pudding for you! I'd put it in a sausage skin and steam it, and then you could slice it up and fry it and have it with your breakfast! It will be delicious!

I can't lay eggs for you I'm afraid, so those will have to come from one of the usual egg sources, such as a toad.

You smell really great today! Have you had your hair done? Because it looks STUNNING!

Yours sincerely

Hellooooo! And welcome to the 102nd EVER newsletter from rathergood!

We've got a little song about how I wish I had a pet pig for you today. I would call him Mr Oinks:

http://www.rathergood.com/oinks

Also, here are some very hostile otters performing a Pantera song. They do have swearing going on, because they are so hostile and everything:

I whacked up some more personal photos on flickr if you're interested in that sort of thing:

We did a little spot at the Webbys bash last night in Shoreditch. We made up a song specially! A bespoke song! About the internet! It was great! But I don't have any video of it! So I can't show you! OH NOES! We'll record it though and hopefully I'll be able to show you the song soon. It really was very good, though you'll just have to take my word for it for now.

That's about it I think, except to tell you that I love you. I love you so hard I'd let you have my precious blubber to keep you warm, now the weather has turned cold. I'd get a biro, and I'd sharpen it up into a point, and I'd open up my belly and cut out all my blubber with that biro, and I'd give it all to you! If you want, I'll get some of my liver out as well! We can mix up my blubber and liver into a delicious meal that I like to call “Blibber” - you will really enjoy it! Hopefully I'll stay conscious long enough to see you smile!

You look so HOT today! Oh God and you smell SO GOOD!

Mwah mwah mwah extrasuperduperhugs!

Yours sincerely

Hellooooooooo! And welcome to the 101^st EVER update from rathergood!

We've got a lovely, uplifting treat for you today! Look, we set the kids loose to make a song of their own! Here it is:

http://www.rathergood.com/kids

Sticking with the family theme, I've also whacked up my wonderful video to the amazing song Eggs by the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players:

http://www.rathergood.com/eggs

We're being ever so wholesome today aren't we! Hooray! It is a wholesome day!

In other news, I did this interview with My Videostar in Germany

http://bit.ly/5skAz1

Finally, I whacked up some more personal photos - you can have a butcher's here if you like:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/joelveitch/

I guess that's about it, except to tell you that I LOVE YOU! I was going to put a thing in here about how I love you so much I'd do anything for you! That I'd get a circular pastry cutter and use it to strip out my spine just for you! And then I'd get a helper to put spangly tassles on the spine and send it to you in the post so you can use it as a trendy scarf to keep you warm through the cold winter months, and every time you wear it you'll think of me! But seeing as this is a wholesome family newsletter this week I won't say anything about that, even though it is completely true, and I'll just let you know that I love you very very very very very very much!

Mwah mwah big sloppy kisses and extrasuperduperhugs!

Yours sincerely

Helloooo! And welcome to the 100th EVER update from rathergood! Isn't that amazing! It's like a golden jubilee, only doubled! It's like a GOLDEN SQUARED JUBILEE! WOW! Except that would be newsletter 2500 so it's not, but you know what I mean innit.

It's a pretty auspicious occasion so we've got an even-more-special-than-normal newsletter for you!

Firstly, we have written this wonderful song in praise of Ben Goldacre from Bad Science.
http://www.rathergood.com/ben

Ben is a champion of truth and justice, fighting pseudo-science and quackery for all our futures. He is also a thoroughly lovely man and we think he smells nice too.

Look! We've recorded you a special message to mark the 100th newsletter! Just for you!
http://www.rathergood.com/newsletter_100

Isn't that lovely! Although a bit painful too!

Now, we wondered what to do with this 100th newsletter, and we thought maybe we should have a bit of classic stuff to look at. I've got the Quiznos ads that we did featuring the Spongmonkeys, and remastered them in HD! Back when we did them, there wasn't really any way to get decent quality video up on the internet, but now there is! So here they are, in glorious High Definition!

We Love The Subs:

Isn't it wonderful to finally have those up on the site! Hoorays!

I've dug out some more stuff from the old days and put it up on the site as well! Here's Feuer Frei by the mighty Rammstein, performed by kittens!
http://www.rathergood.com/rammstein

Here's 50 Cent's Guide To Kent! Here sure knows a lot about Kent, that 50 Cent!
http://www.rathergood.com/50cent

Here's Birds by the Butthole Surfers, performed by lambs!
http://www.rathergood.com/buttholesurfers

Here's They Glued Your Head On Upside Down by The Bellrays, performed by little bunnies!
http://www.rathergood.com/bellrays

Hoorays! Phew! Isn't that lot AMAZING! UTTERLY AMAZING!

If that wasn't enough to prove that today is a truly auspicious day, I just noticed that Richard Dawkins has tweeted our Science Is Interesting song. So hoorays for that as well!

Right, I think that's about it, except to tell you that I love you! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

I'd run 5000 miles for you! If my knees gave in before I'd finished running the 5000 miles, I'd pop in to a butcher's and I'd get some more knees from him and I'd get him to cut my knees out and put pig knees in! Then I'd just keep on running! I wouldn't replace my whole leg with a pig's leg though because it would be too delicious and I'd have trouble fighting the temptation to dry cure my leg and devour it.
I LOVE YOU! I hope you are having the happiest day of your entire life today!

Mwah mwah extrasuperduperhugs!

Yours sincerely
