Hellooooooooo! And welcome to the 160th EVER newsletter from rathergood!

I've embarked on a truly glorious project to build an airborne drone that will be capable of delivering a sausage at 100mph!

Stage 1 is now complete. Have a look at the video here:

AWESSOOOOOOOME!

I'll be updating this as I progress with the project of course.

In other news I am really outraged at the shoddy news operation the BBC is running. I'm going to send this complaint to whoever is in charge of that sorry outfit, peddling these lies as “news”

I think that's about it for today, except to tell you that I love you. I love you SO HARD! I'd do anything for you! I'd fly you a sausage to any point on the earth!

If it would help I'd fly you other things as well! How about an anchovy?

An anchovy called Stan Bovey? Stan Bovey the Anchovy will be a brilliant pet. I expect he's very good at predicting the weather, though his dress sense is frankly appalling.

Oh God I HATE THAT ANCHOVY will you take him PLEASE FOR GOD'S SAKE I can't stand the way every time I wake up he's THERE millimetres from my eyeball waxing that stupid moustache and reminding me of every shameful thing I've ever done STAN BOVEY WHY ARE YOU SO CRUEL?

Yeah you can totes have him if you like. He might be a better pet for you than he has been for me.

Mwah mwah femtohugs and nanofrots

Yours sincerely
