We have the first ever edition of Comic Trolley! With The Man donning Judge Dredd garb especially for the occasion.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate this one more time. "Is my mother pukkah?" How DID you get away that

Excellent trip to the tape storage unit today: another box of all-new, all-missing Digi ready to go for anyone who wants it, just let me know. And! Having started with 46 boxes, there are now only 18 left unopened/contents checked. A couple more visits before the nights draw in, can we get under 10?

Blocktoberfest plus a recent Digitiser recovery off a VHS from the 'tape mountain' of @superpage58.bsky.social have inspired some new Nemetext content at last!

The Quote Boat was a feature of Digi on New Year's Eve 1999, with comments from game devs/reps.

I'm doing quotes from UK #teletext events.

p111 The Quote Boat: UK Teletext Events Edition

I found a feature called The Quote Boat in a recent VHS teletext recovery of Digitiser from New Year's Eve 1999.

It featured quotes from game developers and representatives from publishers on various gaming releases and topics.

So, it feels appropriate to adopt the title for featured quotes from teletext events I've attended, especially as I'm sure many of the quotes could be coming from Mr. Biffo himself, or indeed from Mr. Super Page 58, Chris Bell, who runs the so-named Digitiser archive website.

- Paul "Mr. Biffo" Rose, Teletext 50

"In the beginning of Ceefax, we were discovering what you could do with the graphics. We used to put experimental designs on the back page where nobody would see them anyway. But we could try things out that way."

Ready to find out if Richard E Grant’s bold gambit of telling everyone he’s a traitor manages to fool the faithful into not thinking he’s a traitor? At least he can use the cloak to appear in more of those 90s rave videos he’s famous for. Has anyone got any Vera’s?

Happy Blocktoberfest! If you’re joining the teletext community in Stroud, have the best time - and if you can’t make it, the legend that is @jamienemeth.bsky.social is streaming both it and tonight’s pub quiz live here: www.twitch.tv/jamienemeth

Keep it blocky, everyone.

Mostly it's for fun but you can win an orange, apparently! #teletext

But that’s not all: Jamie is going to be live streaming Saturday’s Block Party in Stroud on his Twitch channel: www.twitch.tv/jamienemeth

The event kicks off at 10.30, and the stream will even be live for the pub quiz at 19.30, you lucky people.

@superpage58.bsky.socialSep 30, 2026, 7:17 PM

On its way now to teletext recovery hero @jamienemeth.bsky.social - 60 tapes carefully selected from the Mountain. Each has been checked: if their labels are right, there’s a missing edition of Digi on each one. That’s 2% of all broadcast Digi in that box.

There’s more ready to go if you want a box

@superpage58.bsky.socialSep 27, 2026, 7:36 PM

I think we need to talk ahead of next year’s event…

@superpage58.bsky.socialSep 27, 2026, 7:24 PM

These are all such good ideas. We need some games at an event, and these would be really nice. Crashing Teefax notwithstanding, having a built-in way of keeping players honest would be very handy ;)

Submit now! Do it naow! Yalghhh (Message to self. Might delete later.)

@superpage58.bsky.socialSep 27, 2026, 6:50 PM

Oh, that’s a lovely idea - would you permit the old trick of changing your answer before the ‘bad luck’ screen loads, or are you drawing the line at that? Wonder if we could do something like that at next year’s Block Party, to coincide with the SP58 30th anniversary?

@superpage58.bsky.socialSep 26, 2026, 8:36 PM

This newsburst comes thanks to teletext community stalwart and Blocktoberfest co-organiser David Walford. You’ll want to be on his team at the pub quiz.
