    I believe in order to have grandchildren you need to have children, first

    As a determined non Facebook user, I'm still moderately curious to find out what this 'in-joke' post is actually about ?

    Way back in the mists of time, there was a thing called MusicRadar, and they had a forum, and lots of us were on it.

    And on a few occasions - firstly, in 2003, when the above pic is from - we would get together at a whacking great bash called Gasfest, in Bristol, hosted by the much-missed and never less than radiant RockBabe. They were great bashes, she worked her fucking arse off getting some genuinely awesome raffle prizes, to raise literally thousands for a charity called the Drakes Project, and we'd all get up and play shit to each other, then go back to the hotel we all stayed in and get even more leathered than we had been at the venue.

    The above pic is of one 18-year old Thomas Ross, currently known as @thomasross20 of this here parish, ripping it up and sounding like a genuine guitar god. He used to get so excited about stuff we'd call him Tigger.

    And Minky is a guy who liked taking piccies (and pretty damn good at it he was, too) who was called MinkyMonkey on that there musicradar, which forum duly collapsed under its own weight, hence the arrival of this previously said parish.

    Does that help?
    If you must have sex with a frog, wear a condom. If you want the frog to have fun, rib it.

    Gasfest really was amazing, same as the attendees. Folk on this forum have been here for 20++ years. Really looking forward to another meetup - sorry been lacking in replies to this - absolutely rammed at work - and Dennis you are too kind, as ever!

    @TheOtherDennis ; very interesting. Cheers for that. 

    I'd never have guessed that back then that was @thomasross20, though I don't see why not cos I can see it now.

    I would like to know two things concerning the photo of the young @thomasross20
    1. Why do you have a pair of shiny red silk knickers on your headstock?
    2. What chord were you playing?

    I knew all about Music Radar, I was curious as to the cryptic nature of the post here. 
    Thanks for the comprehensive clarification :+1:

    GASFest is from Inter Music forum days  - which was pre Music Radar 

    nothing cryptic about the OP,   a simple "guess who"   picture of a bloke we all know playing a guitar  -

    that took the subject matter, (much) longer than I expected to respond !

    I'll play Waltzing Matilda for you On 5-string banjo - and that'll make you wish you *had* moved house!

    Seriously, Waltzing Matilda is a favourite of mine. Everyone knows it so they can join in. It often pops up in my gigs. Great ice.breaker.
