It's a DB10-isum to locking (closing) threads.

It's a line from the film Starwars. You do know what Starwar is? :shock: :wink:

Are you sure ???

I thought it was paying homage to one of the greatest films ever made - Cool Hand Luke starring Paul Newman & George Kennedy.

Luke Jackson (Paul Newman's character) was in Jail for cutting the heads off parking meters and the film covers his battle with Dragline (George Kennedy's character - the prison Daddy) and with the corrupt warders.

When the warders lock cells or the solitary confinement "box" they say "Locking it down here".

I can imagine people like David Miliband (or his brother Glenn) watching Star Wars (geeks that struggle to get a shag) whereas Cool Hand Luke is watched by the boys at school that got into the 1st team and always copped off with the best looking birds.

Fair play to Jumpers and Davey - it is indeed from the classic Cool Hand Luke.

Although the actual quote was more based on the dialogue when they wanted a smoke;

"Lighting up here boss."
"Lighting up Luke".

And now finally;

"Locking it down here boss".
"Locking it down Luke."

or not.... :wink:
