Helloooooooo! And welcome to the 79th EVER update from rathergood!

We've got some AMAZING stuff for you today!

First up, I have developed the single best thing in the history of mankind! It is the MEATINI! A full fried breakfast served in a cocktail glass made of BACON! YEAH! I've got photos and stuff- have a look! You will be AMAZED and AWED!

Also, our little kitten, Meowcat Jackson, has been deeply saddened by the death of his hero, Michael Jackson, last night. He's undertaking a memorial moonwalking marathon, and you can see a live camera feed of it here:

Go on Meowcat! You can keep it up! He's been going for hours already! Have a look and cheer him on. You can do this by cheering at your screen and offering words of encouragement- your computer microphone will pick it up and play it out of speakers in the field, so he can hear you helping him along.

In other news I did my spot on Sky News again this week. Unfortunately there was a vote in Parliament about the Iraq War enquiry and it over-ran, shunting me into the ad break, so it was only viewable online. Where are their PRIORITIES eh? It's only a war! I had INTERNETS to talk about! Anyway, I still did my thing and you can see it here if you like:

Also, little Bliss met one of those lucky cats with the waving arms the other day, and she spent AGES waving back at it! Look - I captured the moment!

ALSO! (OMG there's loads today isn't there!) we've whacked up an mp3 of the chasm spasm theme tune for download. Hoorays!

http://www.rathergood.com/music/chasm_spasm.mp3

Ed has it as his ringtone now. I've still got the W.S.Demon theme tune for mine.

I think that's about it for this week except to tell you how much I love you. I really do! I love you so much that I'd eat bacon for you! I'd take bacon and pork products made from blood and fat and entrails and I'd fashion them into the form of a cocktail glass and I'd gluttonously scoff them JUST FOR YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU THAT MUCH.

Every time I eat bacon, or black pudding, or anything else from a pig, I do it FOR YOU. I'm thinking about you as I eat that bacon (or other pork product). I'm thinking of you as I fry it up and I'm thinking of you as I chew it and I'm thinking of your face as I pat my distended meat-filled belly. When it comes out the other end, of course, I'm thinking of something else. Yes, something else. Not you. Not then. That would be weird and horrid. I'm probably thinking about cars or hammers or something else that isn't you, honest.

GOODBYE, AND I WISH YOU THE GREATEST OF JOY!

Yours faithfully

Helloooo! And welcome to the 78th EVER update from rathergood!

We have a real treat for you today! We've made an amazing game! It's called Chasm Spasm! It's the best game EVER EVER EVER! Play it! PLAY IT! It's BRILLIANT!

http://www.rathergood.com/chasm

Isn't that amazing? Utterly AMAZING! Interesting fact: A person who plays Chasm Spasm is technically known as a Spasmonaut.

Also, I've got this really lovely song for you. It's The Bathroom Song, and it's about the rooms of the house.

http://rathergood.com/bathroom

As you can see, Zak was keen to stamp his authority on the whole affair.

In other news, we are going to try and win the Olympics! Seriously, not a joke, we have an official triathlete, and he's going to try and win the Olympics. The official rathergood Olympian is Phil, and you can see him here:

http://rathergood.com/Rathergood_For_The_Olympics

If Phil gets to the Olympics, that means WE HAVE ALL GOT TO THE OLYMPICS TOO! And if he wins, then WE WILL ALL HAVE WON THE OLYMPICS! YEAH! WOOHOOO!

I'll keep you informed of Phil's progress towards glory for himself and us all on the blog. Hoorays!

I think that's about it for today, except to tell you that I love you. I really mean it! I'd make cheese for you! Out of milk! I'd get loads of milk and curdle it and turn it into a massive cheese and let it mature and then take chisels and sandpaper and carve it into a beautiful statue of you 100 feet high made entirely of my own special cheese! It would be in the Greek classical style, really flattering. You'd be nude of course- these statues always are. Don't worry though you won't need to pose- I'll imagine it. I'll imagine what you'd look like as a 100 foot high nude Greek deity and carve that out of my massive boulder of special cheese!

I'd totally do that for you! I really would! I'd be GLAD to!

If only I had some milk!

I don't have any milk.

I've run out and it's a bit of a walk to the shops so I can't do it but IF ONLY I HAD MILK I WOULD DO IT FOR YOU ALL FOR YOU!

Love, superhugs and sloppy kisses!

Helloooooooo! And welcome to the 77th EVER newsletter from Rathergood!

Well, the main news this week is that I have constructed the world's most advanced William Shatner's Brain Simulator - The Shatnotron!

It uses bleeding-edge science to simulate in exact and perfect detail the experience of being INSIDE WILLIAM SHATNER'S BRAIN! It is totally immersive, and you will find yourself actually thinking you are William Shatner. It's amazing! It really is:

http://rathergood.com/shatnotron

As well as that, I thought I'd let you know that if you tweet on twitter about rathergood it will now show up on the rathergood site! Have a look - in the left hand column. There it is! It's a good thing there aren't any idiots on the internet to abuse it eh? Ooh, thank goodness everyone on the internet is nice and trustworthy with the ability to tweet on to our web site. Phew.

Also, I've whacked some more photos up on the old flickr malarky. Oh dear I've come over all Jamie Oliver. Anyway, they're mainly family stuff and all that, here if you fancy having a gander, lahvely!

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

Anyway, I think that's about it for this week. Except to tell you how HOT you are, and how much I LOVE YOU. I love you so hard, I'd make a noodle for you! A rice noodle! One enormously long noodle! It would be the same width as a normal noodle, which is actually quite thin as it happens, but it would be the LONGEST NOODLE KNOWN TO MAN! I would make it by hand, slave over it until it was 30 miles long! Then I would delicately engrave the entire length of the noodle with poetry about how much I love you and how HOT you are!

I would TOTALLY do that for you! Except I don't have any rice here, so I guess I won't. But if I did I TOTALLY WOULD because I LOVE YOU THAT HARD!

I hope you're having the most wonderful day of your life! You deserve it! That's the LEAST you deserve because you are SO WONDERFUL!

Love kisses and superhugs

Helloooooooooo! And welcome to the 76th EVER newsletter from rathergood!

We have a lovely little thing for you today - this is Little Pink Bear, and it is the touching tale of a cat who meets a cuddly woodland resident, told using the medium of song:

Little Pink Bear

Isn't that lovely?

You can get the mp3 from here as usual

Also there's Little Pink Bear t shirts up in the shop

Aren't they beautiful? Just think how attractive you will be in one of those! You will be IRRESISTABLE! You'll be fighting the suitors off with whatever comes to hand! They'll be mobbing you in their desperate desire! Lovely!

I've whacked a couple more little written things up on the blog this week - this chat with Sea Dave about how very much we like people

And this discussion with my new friend Steve about his search for improved self esteem, which is progressing very nicely thank you thanks to a wonderful, selfless helper

Also, for those of you who have an interest in either cricket or Christmas, you may be interested in this video of Jacques Rudolph ruining Christmas for everyone. Thanks Jacques

I think that's about it for this week to be honest, except to tell you how much I love you. I really do! I love you so hard! Oh wow I just think about you all the time and how totally HOT you are and I wish we were sitting here together right now.

I'd give you a brioche and I'd watch you eat it- really watch, with my eyeballs right up by your mouth, so close you were grating that brioche against my eyeballs while you ate it, that would be SO GREAT! And I'd sit there, not minding the pain of the brioche in my eyeballs, because YOU put it there and I got to watch you eating that brioche with your mouth up real close! OH YEAH! That would be AMAZING! And then later I'd go to the hospital to get the brioche out from my eyeballs and some of it would probably have got round the back and stuff but I'd just tell them about how I watched you eating that brioche and they'd be so JEALOUS of me and then I'd keep the bits of brioche in a special box on the mantelpiece for EVER AND EVER.

So yeah, I hope you're having a totally brilliant day! You really deserve it! YEAH! GO YOU!

Yours faithfully

Hellooooooo! And welcome to the 75^th EVER newsletter from rathergood!

We have a wonderful if terrifying treat for you today! This is The Herring Horde. It is a truly epic, stirring masterpiece. Cower in terror as we relate in majestic orchestral splendour the attempt by the Herring Horde to subjugate the land unto their will!

http://rathergood.com/herring

Isn't it tragic? But still, they are tasty, and good for you too, and they are total morons. Idiots.

In other news, I did my spot on Sky News on Wednesday. I was discussing Ashton Kutcher threatening to stop using Twitter, facebook getting money from Russians, dinosaur posture and a bunch of other stuff from the internet that day. You can have a look at it here if you like:

http://rathergood.com/817_Joel_on_Sky_News_27th_May_2009

I'm doing well with the blogging plan. It is a thing of great beauty, as is to be expected really of course. This week I have discussed kitten hats, Kittentipedes, hammers, the search for very large pearls, the vagaries of the commonly used ten-point rating system, some goings-on at my house with disappearing trains, and a Doom Machine Of Doom which I spotted and photographed around Shoreditch. It's great, honest. You should totally read it and stuff. Every day.

Hopefully every day anyway. Well, hopefully every week day at least. I'm totally hoping to get something on there as many days as possible, basically.

http://rathergood.com/blog

You can get King Of Herrings tshirts too! From here!

They are TOTALLY BRILLIANT! Did you know that the King Of Herrings is a real fish? He REALLY EXISTS! Sure does! Look!

http://fishindex.blogspot.com/2008/09/king-of-herrings-longest-fish-in-ocean.html

He is the biggest bony fish in the entire ocean! No wonder he's the king! YEAH!

I guess that's about it today! Except to tell you how much I love you! I love you so much that it makes my nose bleed! Really! It's bleeding loads! First it was just normal runny blood and now it's getting more lumpy. Lumps of pink stuff and the odd grey bit. It's really painful and I'm getting very faint indeed and it's all because I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! YEAH!

I hope you are having a thoroughly wonderful day today! It's beautiful and sunny and lovely here! I hope it is where you are too! I wish you a huge amount of happiness and joy!

Byeeeeeeeeeeee!

Yours sincerely
