I doffed my cap to a lady this morning....
 
She turned and smiled, as I extended my arm and let her into the lift first this morning

I believe doffing ones cap, is a manner from time gone by, and old fashioned manners should be brought back into fashion, cos there are some really rude, arrogant, obnoxious arseholes in this place

I'd call him a lot of things...but smooth operator isn't one of them...

going down sounds more like it...

Honestly, a smile is great and really makes my day...

...not quite as good as sex though is it? One or both of you should feel cheated :(.

Did you know though that a woman smiling at you is her way of telling you that she'd like a spin on your pork sword because she finds you attractive? After she's "shared" her life story with you of course :zzz:.

I for one wouldn't mind bringing back the nicer aspects of western culture but if I am expected to wear a hat (which I certainly wouldn't not mind) I would expect women to make the effort too (ie, no flip flops except at the beach) but it's not going to happen so I live in my own eccentric bubble of pipe smoking, suit wearing and using my knife and fork properly.

Perhaps we should start a club to celebrate such things...?
