On, I wear mine on either, because I am an annoying either hand person.

Being an annoying either hand person who always insisted on mounting horses from both sides it staggers me that on the times I have 'after' I have only been able to coordinated from the left side (which is the 'correct side') but its 'wrong' to do it that way every time. :rotfl:

Otherwise, things like watches, it depends which watch and what I am wearing.....obviously!

People have picked up, in the past, when I do things left-handed.... although I am right-handed, so I must be some form of "either hand" person. I do things/pick things up/use things by the hand that makes most sense and feels most safe/comfortable.. Sometimes in the past people have seen me doing things and pointed out it's "back to front". I am right-handed though .... with foibles.

Has somebody got a grudge against them?
Our nearest one burnt down five years ago. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7781036.stm
But they've built a new one a couple of miles nearer. Result!:beer:

Surely all exam rooms have clocks, don't they?

For all I know, reading them might be a lost art to young'uns, like using a slide rule or log tables, or saying hello to each other without making it sound like a revolution's starting!

That was an over-reaction to their having sold out of croissants.

absolutely not.

I agree about jewllery on main and I reckon even cuff-links is a bit poncey - why by a shirt with double cuffs in the first place unless you are planning on wearing jewellery...however I do a wedding ring which never comes off.

You lot have been busy all afternoon - is it just too hot to do anything more productive? I have sorted out the pool and started refilling it, taken and fetched DD1 from birthday party, picked up a few freecycle wins and been to the supermarket and cooked dinner. Yesterday I changed two leaking rad valves - I hate plumbing, why have they felt the need to change the compression threads so that you then have to try and get the old compression ring off to get the old nut off

So we are still in the dark as to why you're together then.

but none of those are actually left handed watches because you can't wear them on your right wrist because the stupid windy thing digs into your hand when you bend your wrist.

Just like 'normal' watches do if worn on the left hand?

Chewy, what exactly do you want by way of a left handed watch? The only thing there is to change about a watch is where the windy thing goes, so if you don't want that switched to the other side, what kind of lefty-adaptation are you looking for?

I have no pool to sort out. I've no parties to attend, nor anybody to take to any. There's never anything on freecycle within 20 miles I'd give houseroom to. I went to the supermarket on Monday or so, so have no need for more food. I cooked baguettes, made a chilli/mayo pasta salad and ate both with a boiled egg and some cherry tomatoes.

I have no rad valves that leak.

I'd have gone out if there'd been somewhere worthy, if I'd had appropriate clothes and a hat and suncream and if I'd had somebody to go with and it weren't far and there were free parking

My experience of a lot of lefties moaning is ..... they don't realise that righties also put up with things too, without moaning. e.g. those folding chairs with the can holder in the right arm.... lefties will moan "there's none in the left" - you know what...? Righties don't use it because it's in the wrong soddin' place, they don't want it where their 'dominant' hand/arm are and it's in a stupid/awkward place as their dominant hand/arm are probably waving all over the place and it'll end in tears as they whack what's in there. People don't use the drink holder..... so, lefties, buy the soddin' chairs.

You are welcome to visit here any time and I can offer all of the above apart from the not far bit.
