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.

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

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.
