RETRO REVIVAL SOLSTICE - IMPORTANT NEWS

26/7/2016

Hi all. Just a quick apology to anyone who was hoping to see me at Retro Revival Solstice on Saturday.

Unfortunately, I was quite seriously attacked out of the blue today by some random nut in the street, and ended up in hospital. I've currently got no vision in my right eye, and I'm basically bed-bound for the next few days at least.

Consequently, I'm not going to be able to make it to Walsall at the weekend. There's still going to be a great line-up of guests, and if you're interested in tickets you can still buy them here.

If you bought tickets purely because I was going to be there, drop us a line at digitiser2000@gmail.com with a photo/scan of your tickets, and we'll try and sort you out with freebies for the Digifest in October.

Again, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but these were pretty extreme circumstances, which couldn't have been predicted. And no - before you ask - it wasn't Dino Dini what done it.

BIFFO.

Bet they were an Amiga fan though.

To be serious though; that is terrible. I hope you feel mentally strong about it and don't let it get you down.

THESE. PEOPLE.

Very upsetting. Your measured and pragmatic response makes it even worse. So sorry this had to happen, especially to an evidently nice man.

I hope they caught up with this fellow and gave him a jolly good talking to.

WTF! Really? What a crock. I really do wonder about this country. Take it easy and rest up. Watch some daytime TV. Oh, no don't do that, sorry.

Unbelievable news Paul, I hope that you will have a swift and full recovery, and that the perpetrator receives swift and appropriate justice.

The random shit is the worst. At least if they were wearing a Sensible Soccer t-shirt there would be some kind of thread to it to help understand. But *random*. What is that? How do you take solace from *random*.
All the maximum best to you.

James

26/7/2016 09:53:31 pm

So sorry to hear that, Biffo. Get well soon, mate!

I don't understand what goes on in the heads of these people. I presume you weren't being some insane soldier at the public, doing a Streets of rage or having a Final fight. Of course you weren't. It was an attempt at making you laugh, but unfortunately I'm a much better reader than a writer of comedy, but I hope the shitness of my attempt managed to cheer you up a bit. Absolutely stunned and disappointed in the perpetrator(s). Hope you get better soon. Here's a joke. (the best ones probably always start like that) there was this dog, right. He was feeling a bit under the weather, and so his mate or mum probably asked him, "what's the matter dog?" And the dog replied, "oh, what a tail of woe woe woe i have to tell you. I'm a bit woof to be hair. I think i hurt my bark. But im sure we can all pedigree that im not ready for the butchers yet. Keep my squeaky toy warm for me, and my water bowl clean and filled, for I'll be bark. Awoo reward $350." Get well soon mr biffo

For every idiot in the world there are thousands of nice people, a great many of whom think you're an absolute legend, and we all love you. Get well soon Mr Biffo, and take the time you need to recover - we'll still be here when you return.

Sad to here this. Best of luck with your recovery and hopefully Archer-esque revenge rampage. Senseless. Grrrrr.

Ouch! I hope you get better soon, including your right eye. Have you got no vision because it's swollen, or something else?

Glyn

26/7/2016 11:38:35 pm

Now that's how you do an excuse!
Seriously though, get well soon and I hope your attacker is found and dealt with appropriately.

Never posted any messages here before but recently discovered the site and pretty much read every little bit of it.

Hope your all good pal. Don't let this kind of shit get to you.

Bloody soft Southerners... Up here in the North being hospitalised in a brutal unprovoked assault by a random nutter is just a typical night on the town.

Er... I mean get well soon Biffo!

Kudos to you trying to make it right, though. Most guests don't go that extra mile.

I'm about to have a witch cast a healing spell for your eye. It probably won't work but it's the least we can attempt

That's bloody awful Mr B, I hope your BiffoVision (Right) returns soon. In the meantime I hope you can rock an eyepatch Snake Plissken style.

Paul-Oh!

I was just thinking the other day, after reading about the latest atrocity. I'm retired, I spent my life in a job where I was given the opportunity to help people on a daily basis. I now potter around, quite happily, keeping myself amused, baby-sitting the grandchildren, and saving up for the odd holiday. What is wrong with people? It's not difficult to lead a peaceful productive life, being nice to people. Actually I can attest to it being a bloody marvelous way to live your life. I truly despair. Anyway get well soon Biffo, don't let 'em grind you down.

Stoo

27/7/2016 09:35:06 am

Oh hell, sorry to hear that Biffo. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Hey, kids. It's summer, and that means outdoor fun for everyone! However, unprovoked attacks can spoil your enjoyment, so remember these cool safety tips:

- AVOID isolated areas. Stick with your friends and the places you know.

- IF attacked, DO NOT rub brown HONEY into the wound.

- DROP any POKEMON Lures near MY BINS, and I will BREAK you and your PHONE.

That's awful man! Get well soon and sadly I couldn't attend that thing anyway but might try to come to the other thing.

You didn't crash into him while trying to catch a Pidgey did you? Not that it's justification for what he did. At school I got beaten up for calling someone a Jiggly Puff.

Bogging chuff. Get well soon. With all our love.

I've been away (still am but just got internet) so just read this. Oh man. Get well soon, hope you're seeing well by now. Love coming your way. Ahoy
