A bit like Pete Best’s special ink, I’m sure. ;) You’re very welcome as always; enjoy the latest selection - a fine bunch it is too. I’m working on getting the richest of pickings from it up by the end of the week. I just didn’t want to miss getting an update out in November!

The end of 2002/beginning of 2003 was all about celebrating Digi's 10th anniversary. The Digigate war for its soul was won by @mrbiffo.bsky.social and its loyal fans just in time.

We already had the official start of Digigate in the archives, and now the circle is closed, because here comes the official end. Digi victorious - back to daily updates the next day, and its humour well and truly restored.

I’m on my way to see a band that won’t be playing this titular song. Have fun all those doing the same, whichever band you’re seeing that won’t be playing this titular song!

Here’s a spooky mystery for you, this Halloween night. Why are so many people in China & Singapore suddenly pouring onto SP58? It usually gets ~20 a day, but on 23rd Oct something strange happened. More than 2k users yesterday! Is Digi big in China? Will @mrbiffo.bsky.social have to tour like Wham?!

And lastly, as we reach the 67% of Digi recovered mark, thanks to @andrewisaround.bsky.social we can see how the editions break down across its 10+ years on air.
