Hastings Forum

Hi Geoff, Hmmm, sorry but I'm not convinced by those stats, as hit counters are notorious for thinking that the same IP address hitting twice is two different "unique visits".

Oh, I remember the glory days - I saw The Clash and Richard Hell and The Voidoids there, around 1978 - there was so much pogo dancing (if anyone remembers this punk dance, jumping up and down and shaking your head and, unfortunately, spitting at the band and anyone else in between) - so much pogo da...
