          Dave, I meant the scene where Mrs Lopsided has her friends in for a singsong, and the crooks have to attend. A completely broken Alec Guinness sits hunched over the piano :

            Yes I know...that's why I wanted Wick to play Marcus, whilst I play the railway signalman! (Donnnnggg)

              This conversation has gone way over my head......
              I had to Google Boccherini.
              Maybe I don't deserve a full set of Bars.
              Now I see Sam is infected.

                We're way off-topic, but it's a series of references to the 1956 Comedy "The Ladykillers" which starred among others Alec Guinness as Professor Marcus, a criminal mastermind and Katie Johnson as Mrs Wilberforce, a charming elderly widow (aka "Mrs Lopsided")...

                PS (added on edit) Unlike the conversation, in the film, the railway signal did not go way above the Professor's head!

                  Has the amber bars something to do with signal strength? In which case not sure if any one will be able to read this as I appear to be amber barless.

                  Or is it some kind of social experiment?

                    Hi Martyn,

                    its a Correctometer. If you have a full set of Amber bars it means that you are incapable of being wrong.

                    Hold on, what’s this pm from Admin....

                    Dear Herlock, there appears to have been a mistake....
                    .
                    Regards

                        I can think of a couple of posters that would be rushing to give me a like if that’s the case Dave. And maybe I’m undercooking it by saying a couple. I might need a safe space.

                          A few I’d be giving multiple likes too as well, and while I don’t always agree with you, you’re not one of them.

                          There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.
