    Did the Leftorium have a sale?

    I'm pretty impressed with the posters who profess to be left handed.

    I , too , am left handed.

    All hail , the Sinestre.
    P.S. Sinestre may not be a real word.

    Ha!

    Maybe this explains why the lady holding the power drill on the cover of the present Lidl flyer seems to be a southpaw ?

    I'll send a nice Christian brother around and he will help you with this problem and beat you with a leather belt until you learn to use the "right" hand..

    Any tips for a left hander? My young lad is left handed and it can be a bit awkward. Simple things like buttering toast are a challenge to teach and it will probably only get worse when he starts writing.

    try showing by using your left (practice yourself first!)

    I’d suggest Arabic but then he might lose it altogether

    Make sure you don't give him any gel or very inky pens to write with. He'll smudge the whole page. Bic pens are grand in my experience.

    Have you got a left handed toaster ?

    That's the part that is awkward!

    I'll probably cut my fingers when I try to show him how to cut some bread.

    Happy Left Hand Day to the greatest, most talented, beautiful-est people in the whole world!!

    :D

    It used to be thought that if a single child was born left handed that they were a twin and the other one died.
    Twins are more likely to have one left handed than single kids.

    I know of a few older people who are ambidextrous because they had their left-handedness bate out of them at school.

    Do you think the second born twin ever wonders about being not planned ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,191 ✭✭✭Jeff2

    The time I'm talking about there was years ago.
    And with family and friends it was fine.

    There was no way to plan for twins.

    My dad had that. Left Hand tied behind his back or something similar.

    Same as my dad, he was caned if tried to use his left. Does most things with his right hand because of that.

    Hand of the devil.

    I love scaring the Shíte out of right handers by simply using a bread knife to cut a slice of bread, freaks them out.
