Would that not make this the perfect place to have this discussion? To show the value of manners to some folks who don't currently understand?

I grew up being taught to hold the door for women, to pay the check, etc. Times have changed, and now it seems like doing these things may be insulting or degrading to women. I appreciate you coming here to help clarify, because I don't know where the new lines are drawn for 'modern mannerly men'. Can you please speak to this issue?

'ello Pip - Do you ever have trouble keeping up with your massively wordy lyrics when you play live? For instance 'The Beat that My Heart Skipped'?

Thanks for the good advice! I guess in general I am wondering about more than the door and the check. I am wondering if these 'old fashioned values' are outdated, and what NEW manners are we looking for in the age of 'teh internets'. Like, proper date etiquette for this day and age: 1. Turn off your phone when you go on a date. 2. Tweet what a nice time you had on your date. 3. don't 'kiss and tweet' etc. Stuff like that.
