I'll give you so many left handers you'll be begging me to hit you with a right.

 

[Mellotron]

The only issue with being left handed is writing a cheque, I find. Getting into the stub bit is a nightmare. Otherwise, it's worked out alright generally.

True, though the other things that have hampered/confused me have been:

- Less choice when buying instruments
- Having to set up a drum kit differently
- RING BINDERS
- I really struggle with scissors
- People saying "Oh, you're left handed".

It has helped when playing sports though...always seems to be an odd air of anticipation if I were playing cricket and was called to bowl. Batsmen didn't like facing me, not because I was good (I wasn't) but just that it was different to the usual pie chuckers we had

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

God made a few people perfect the rest he made right handed

 

[Mellotron]

True, though the other things that have hampered/confused me have been:

- Less choice when buying instruments - I play right-handed
- Having to set up a drum kit differently - I play opened handed on a right handed kit. Which is a bit stupid, and makes going cross hands for the ride look utterly RIDICULOUS.
- RING BINDERS - Not noticed the issue here?
- I really struggle with scissors - Yeah a bit
- People saying "Oh, you're left handed". - You could choose take it as a compliment, more likely to be creative etc.

Batsmen didn't like facing me, not because I was good (I wasn't) but just that it was different to the usual pie chuckers we had - Used to bowl "chinamen" left arm wrist spin, and I think the oddness of it definitely helped at times. Although as a batsman I found people bowled at my body more than I would like...

Yeah.
