    Not to worry, Mullingar is hosting a Left Hand Festival for The Gathering next year. Left handed hotel rooms and all!! Finally, some equality :D

    The left is alwsys good for picking your nose when you're using the right hand doing something else . Choice of 5 digits and all .

    Two hands are often better than one.

    My left hand

    My left hand

    puts on the first glove

    My left hand

    is called Maurice.

    Lefty just doesn't have the same smooth and fluid action as right does.
    Years of practice win through in the end.

    The right hand might be occupied by the mouse; left hand must therefore handle the other mouse.

    Typical Righty. End the oppression now!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    I'm sure an unusually high percentage of boardsies are left-handed, actually. Well if the millions of polls we've had on here are anything to go by.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,981 ✭✭✭ElleEm


    My guy is a weirdo- he is right handed, and uses it for everything except for his special alone time. Only lefty will do for that!!!

    Which hand does he employ for your pleasure? :o

    Which is paradoxical, because I'm actually a leftie. I've just copped on.

    I only write with my left hand. Everything else is done with my right. Probably to do with living in a right handed world that I just learnt to adapt.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,048 ✭✭✭demakinz


    If you sit on your hand for a few minutes its like a different person.

    My granny used to say never trust a left handed person they are evil.

    Yes, I think it was seen as a disability is years gone by. My mother was left handed when she was a child. The teacher used to tie her left hand behind her back with a scarf to make her learn to write with her right.

    Muslims use their left hand to clean themselves after the toilet and eat with the right. The left hand is seen as 'unclean' and an insult to then if you go to shake hands with the left hand. I always thought it was cool little system.
    Among Muslims, the left hand is reserved for bodily hygiene and considered unclean. Thus, the right hand should be used for eating. Shaking hands or handing over an item with one's left hand is considered an insult.

    I'm left handed but right footed. Everything I use with my hand I use my lefty but I kick a football with my right.

    I'm the same. I use knives, scissors, lighters, whatever, with my right hand; but write with my left. That's pretty much the only thing I do with it. I could cut etc. with my left, but wouldn't usually.

    I'm basically a right-handed person trapped in the body of a leftie. I'm just living a lie.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89 ✭✭morton


    all this leftie/rightie talk - just realised I like sitting on the right side of the sofa and prefer leaning on my left bum cheek. That's mad now!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    I'm right handed, but my left hand is much stronger than my right for some reason, mainly when carrying shopping.
