:bowdown: Lefties are the finest of all society, that's just how it is.

Although I'm one of the bad ones, I write left handed, play pool and snooker left handed as well. But tennis and darts are right handed. ??? I can't throw left handed either, it feels totally wrong. I'm also natural kicking a football (badly and inaccurately) with both feet. Ambidextrous and ambipedal!

Aah, those lovely memories from school using blotting paper under my scribing hand to prevent the cartridge ink pen smudging as I wrote.

My son is one of those freaks like you.

He writes left handed, plays tennis left handed. Cricket being his main thing he's a left arm bowler. Left footed at football.

But he plays golf right handed, bats right handed, throws with either arm and stands orthodox on a skateboard.

Plus the other day we went ten pin bowling and he used his right hand (wtf?!).

All good attributes but when his mate had an archery party a couple of years ago, he was shite as neither way worked until he'd had about 20 shots. [emoji23]

As a left hander playing all sports right handed, took me years to work out why I was cr@p at darts.

Left eye dominant, I was throwing right handed.

Left is best.

That is so much an acknowledged and known fact I don't need to end the sentence with FACT.

I know it, you know it, we all know it.

Smudging was a right old bugger at school though.

When my son plays cricket he bowls left handed and bats right handed. I think it was probably because when he was first taught to bat he was taught right handed and has stuck with it ever since.

Batting right handed the left hand is in control, right hand for strength and power only. :)

Born a leftie but made to do everything as a rightie! Facists !!!!!

My son is a leftie and so to help him out I started to revert back to type. I now write with my left hand and slowly the left is taking over the right.

Left handed, left footed.

I was not born for this world.

Me too. A definite advantage batting right-handed with my strongest left eye down the line of the ball.

I'm also one of those freaks! I do everything left-handed, except tenpin bowling. Mate who I bowl with is exactly the same.

Anyway I love being left-handed. Although it really gets me when people see you write and say "oooh I didn't know you were left-handed"

Er why would you? What a silly thing to say.

Why silly?
It wouldnt be silly to say "oooh I didn't know you were gay" yet statistically, the chances against that would be very similar.
