Help! My mate never gets a round in!<\/span><\/p>\n William says: \u2018I would make them get drinks first. Let\u2019s say Producer Ben is renowned for not getting a round in. The next time we\u2019re out, I\u2019d say, \u201cBen, you\u2019re up first. I\u2019ll have a gin and tonic. Jordan will have a Guinness.\u201d You make the round dodger go first.\u2019<\/p>\n Jordan adds: \u2018You need to call them out, otherwise they\u2019ll never learn. I think there should be some sort of searchable online list for round dodgers.\u2019<\/p>\n Help! I hate people using their phones in the theatre and cinema!<\/span><\/p>\n William says: \u2018[In the theatre] if it\u2019s an emergency, of course it\u2019s OK to check your phone. But if your life is really so hectic that you can\u2019t be away from your phone for a few hours, do not go to the theatre until the pressure is off. Rebook!<\/p>\n \u2018In terms of cinema etiquette, there is an obvious point when you must put your phones away. It is OK to casually check your phone while the first set of adverts are playing out. But when the lights dim and the film trailers start, that is your sign to put your phone away and settle down to watch the film itself.\u2019<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Help! I Sexted My Boss by William Hanson and Jordan North is out now<\/p>\n Help! I get stage fright in the toilet!<\/span><\/p>\n William says: \u2018A female friend of mine once told me that she got stage fright, too. It\u2019s not just a thing for men. There\u2019s a condition where you\u2019re not relaxed. You just can\u2019t go. And women can fear other people hearing the sound of them weeing. Accept that when you\u2019re having a wee in public \u2013 it\u2019s generally very tough.\u2019<\/p>\n Help! Is it OK to kiss in the back seat of a taxi?<\/span><\/p>\n William says: \u2018There should be nothing deep and meaningful in a taxi, which includes kissing. You have to remember that the car is the driver\u2019s space and they may not take kindly to passengers cavorting outrageously. The only time lips should touch in the back of a car is when you are saying goodbye to someone.\u2019<\/p>\n Help! I\u2019m invisible at the bar!<\/span><\/p>\n William says: \u2018You need to make eye contact. Flash them a nice smile, look friendly, look like a nice person to serve. If you want to, and it\u2019s the right kind of bar, you could tip after your first round so when you go back, they will be more attentive, and you are much more likely to get served.\u2019<\/p>\n Help!
