What is the purpose of the question?

just seeing

I’m cack handed and I come from my mummy’s tummy.

• what’s the rough location of where you live/ come from?

Left-handed.

I come from the East, travelling to the West, seeking that which is to be found.

None of us know where we came from because since we were born the Earth has moved a vast distance.

there was a kid in my primary school class, Ronnie, who was ambidextrous. I always wanted to be ambidextrous. He was in Woollahra.

Aren’t most people ambidextrous to some extent

I write left handed, but use a computer mouse with my right hand and I am sure most males interchange hands for certain solo activities

I’m not as left-handed as i used to be.

I write with my left hand, point with my left hand, use a hammer and throw with my left hand.

I use the mouse with the right hand, and i shoot right-handed – turns out that i’m ‘right-eye-dominant’ for sighting.

As this is a rightie world most lefties are more ambidextrous than righties.
I write left but rifle shoot right. Most other things I do with whichever hand is more convenient

I come from Black Rock, I am right handed at every thing except for golf, cricket, and baseball.

Ronnie could write with both hands. He was a smartypants.

Making note now…avoid Woollahra…and especially…people… called…Ronnie.

Just on “handing” of two handed clubs, I can swing the club/bat and hit the ball one handed, but it has to be my right hand.

I play squash left but can swap hands with no real loss of accuracy.

Very useful ability, do you think it gives you an advantage?

I can write equally legibly with either hand, but if I use my left the writing is backward (mirror-image).

Can’t deny it; i’m impressed.

Bloody brilliant!

(I find it difficult to write legibly with my preferred hand, let alone the other…)

I was forced to be ambidextrous when I broke my right arm at the age of 6. I could write well with my left arm for a while but that skill disappeared with lack of use once my arm recovered.

I’m not completely left-handed.

I do things that need fine motor skills with my left, things like writing, using tools like knives, scissors, saws, chisels, soldering iron etc.

Things that need power and strength I use my right side – throwing, bowling, kicking swinging a bat or golf club, and so on.

one of the twins is left handed and the other is right handed… about 25% of identical twins exhibit mirror characteristics

anyone here in Melbourne / victoria and left handed or has family members that are left handed?

Yes. A LH backhand doesn’t have as long a reach as a RH forehand when going for the same ball.

Me too. When I broke my left wrist I “wrote” with my right but really I was drawing the individual letters.

I write right handed, bat left but bowl right and lick a ball left footed.

Go figure :)

I work in a field that’s “artistic” but technical at the same time. Maybe I’m a bit left brain, a bit right brain?

>> ball left footed
Catholics are referred to as left footers(no idea why) so balling left footed would be using the Rhythm method of contraception. Usually referred to as Vatican Roulette.

My mother smacked my hand if I used my left hand as a child.

I ask all of you. Can you split very thin pine kindling chips with the axe in your left hand and hold the bit of pine being split in your right? Would you put your right foot where you were swinging an axe left handed?

I know most of you can switch hands with a broom or a shovel or can you?

I’m right handed but I’m a lefty for rifle, archery and 8 ball. I can play 8 ball as a righty, but I save it for hard to reach shots. I swap cutlery backwards and forwards depending on what I’m eating.

I come from an island a long way from here.

A more useful question. Where can I get a left handed pencil sharpener for my left handed daughter? She destroys pencils.

The same place you bought the left handed pencil?

Quite a few roughbarked trees in the vicinity. Mainly Acacia pendula, in places there’s warrior bush and Belah, a few stands of Black Box.

ahh but can you do it upside down as well?

• ahh but can you do it upside down as well?

I taught myself to write upside down and back to front using my opposite hand such that if you were sitting across from me you would see the words as normal I.e. left to right, top to bottom…

So what prompted this little poll Wookie?

lots of left handers in Melbourne

wookiemeister said:

could be a demographic distribution thing. Melbourne is the furthest established major population base from the origins of the anti-lefty renaissance. Lefties are genetically re-establishing themselves. Soon we will discover that the legends of ‘lefty-magic’ were all too true but it will be too late………
