Amber bars

[mpriestnall]

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?

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!

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)

Can Wick play Boccherini then? OK that makes him the pianist...bags me to play the railway signalman!

Boccherini, left back for Juventus, great player.

[Cogidubnus]

Yes, he gets to play the piano for Mrs Lopsided.

I gave Herlock a new "like" to see if his amber bars change color (or colour for some of you)-- we only learn new things via experimentation!

Oddly enough, so did I...nothing seemed to change immediately, but perhaps it works a little more slowly...

Ok. So how do you get those damn bars? It can't be for brilliant posts because I don't have any.

c.d.

Are you saying that all of my posts aren’t brilliant c.d.

Ive just liked your last post by the way. I don’t think you get a bar for each like though. To be honest I’m clueless about how it’s worked out.

I could certainly provide a list of posters that would never give me a like though.

Michael, it's my understanding that your gold bars will be melted down and turned into models of the Eiffel Tower.

So it was all worth while getting my mum to join the Forum to like my posts then Robert?

Does Wick get a second prize?
