I read something about Nikon manufacturing a prototype lefthand camera but deciding against marketing it in the end.<BR/><BR/>SL - I know, I was in A&H shop last wk and bought 9 (coincidence). I love the Selma one "wake up and smell your husband", and the classic "lies make baby Jesus cry".Bonnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010986736813010003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-29837026425972509622007-08-13T22:19:00.000+01:002007-08-13T22:19:00.000+01:00The blasphemy Milan!

Are you lot all to artistic for that?Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-29620979606257533662007-08-13T19:27:00.000+01:002007-08-13T19:27:00.000+01:00I can't believe we have so many lefties in 49£.

This is great.<BR/><BR/>Fitzy - the cut mark for opening revels, say, will be for pouring with right hand, same with the little boxes like with tic-tacs, etc. Malteser boxes will have the string for opening the plastic on the right side, etc, etc.<BR/><BR/>Polkadot - I have a similar issue with the kettle fill level. I think there are some kettles out there with level indicator on both sides but haven't seen them.<BR/><BR/>Jothemama - Ned is indeed a lefthand icon, and I found myself a Ned Flanders badge only last week - BUT in the badge, and in the trailer for the new Simpsons film, he's waving with his right hand. The Blasphemy is incorrigible.<BR/><BR/>There's a shop in London and a few internet sites that sell leftie stuff but they're quite limited and most of it is very overpriced. They're selling leftie keyboards now though for 30 sterling which isn't bad. No cameras yet though.Bonnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010986736813010003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-77927047571177272952007-08-13T14:48:00.000+01:002007-08-13T14:48:00.000+01:00As another leftie, my main issue is the glass meas...As another leftie, my main issue is the glass measuring cups!!! I HATE having to hold it backwards and pour with my "bad" hand. <BR/><BR/>However, I do, when I play tennis, have two forehands, which are equally powerful :-D.PolkaDothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760855421957187566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-77274871948516883792007-08-13T14:22:00.000+01:002007-08-13T14:22:00.000+01:00I'm so impressed with the drawing program - it's a...I'm so impressed with the drawing program - it's a far cry from Microsoft Paint!<BR/><BR/>What odes Ned Flanders call his sho9p, the Leftorium?

I have bought one and it really works! I don't get smudges on the side of my hand or pinky anymore! You can check it out at www.SmudgeGuard.com. <BR/><BR/>Hope this new tip will make your life as a lefty more easier! =)<BR/><BR/>Again, Happy Lefthanders' Day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-19649231691768648982007-08-13T10:55:00.000+01:002007-08-13T10:55:00.000+01:00I never thought about it really before but yeah yo...I never thought about it really before but yeah you're so right (hehe or should I say 'left' given the day thats in it!) I write (again, sorry!) with my left hand but have to do everything else like taking pictures and cutting with scissors with right hand because all implements are designed to be used by righthanders. However I am confused (and a bit intrigued!) as to why one would need specifically left-handed sweets/chocolates!?! Whats that about??Missfitz Marionetteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13418569249584157079noreply@blogger.com
