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!

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:

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.

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!

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

Hellooooooooooooooooooo! And welcome to the 74th EVER newsletter from rathergood!

We have such a wonderful treat for you today! This is Lion Toaster! It is a cautionary tale about a cat who bought a Lion brand toaster, believing the hype, thinking it would be the best toaster he could get. But his beautiful toasty dream was not to be. Oh no. What lay in wait for him was sorrow beyond imagining. Watch, listen, and learn, my friends. Learn your lesson about the cruelty of this world in which we live. Learn through the magic of song.

It's tragic isn't it? Really so very very sad that such things can happen in today's world. But HAPPEN THEY DO! Let this be a warning to you!

I whacked a bunch of photos up on flickr if you're into looking at photos and stuff. There's some pretty amazing things going on there- you can see ME OFFERRING ZAK A PIE! A HOME-MADE STEAK AND KIDNEY PIE! Can you imagine it? I actually bought some stewing steak and some kidney, and I TOTALLY made a pie with it. Zak went totally BONKERS for the pie. He was shouting LOOK AT THAT PIE! LOOK AT THAT PIE! I WANT IT! I WANT TO EAT IT AND PUT IT IN MY TUMMY!

I totally got Jacqui to photograph the pie, and photograph me offering Zak the pie, and then I put those photos, (along with other photos!) on the internets on flickr where you can see them and gasp in amazement and astonishment at my PIE!

I asked Jordan about the rumours that she has an unusual method of playing pinball with Pete:

We've got BRILLIANT Lion Toaster tshirts available, with a glorious picture of that wonderful toaster on them! You can get them here:

Lion Toaster Tshirts!

Because of magic, that link should take you to a shop in America if you are in America, or a shop in the UK if you are NOT IN AMERICA! And that is MAGIC! I think there may be some SCIENCE in there as well making it go, but mainly it's MAGIC.

I've totally got my head around this whole twitter malarky you know, and now I'm twotting all over the place! YEAH!

How's about THAT then? YEAH! Feels GOOD! I've been blogging on the blog and stuff as well - so far the new regime of regular bloggering is working beautifully and I'm really enjoying it. So that's good. I'm even going to blog this newsletter.

I think that might be about it, except to let you know that I love you. I love you so much that it makes my teeth hurt. They really really hurt! In fact there's a big hole in one of them, and it's gone black and there's puss leaking out of it and it hurts so badly I can hardly think straight and that's ALL BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU!

Superhugs! Mwah! Mwah! Darling you look so gorgeous I could eat you all up! Really I could! Would you mind? Any bits you don't need? Just a finger or a slice of shin or something? Mmmmmmmm delicious!

Yours sincerely
