I feel as if Berek's lost a friend

Thinking about it I do remember most left handers at school developed a style of writing that involved curling their writing hand round the top of the paper and attacking things from that angle ~ sort of upside down. I suppose because fountain pens, in those days, would have dug into the paper had they pushed rather than pulled through the letter strokes. We had an English Master who particularly hated this style and frequently caned boys who used it.

I remember that too – they almost always had their tongues sticking out as well, retards.

Harsh BM .............. But possible accurate in some circs.

I was taught to write by a bastard who made us use nib pens dipped in inkwells. As a lefty I inevitably smudged my own writing (which is why some of us developed that style of which you speak - I couldn't). He slippered my hand every day for a year. Why I never told my parents (I was 7) I cannot imagine. Why he didn't let me use a pencil I cannot fathom. I could punch him to this day.

Bastard Mr Brown!

Not a good precedent to set. Next thing you know threads will off topic right, left and centre. Some people will get stroppy.

True .... but it is his ball so I s'pose we'll have to play along.

I got to thinking about AManda Burton for some reason

I can see there are times when being left-handed with a right-handed mouse must be an advantage… 

[Uncle Mort]

Seeing as my OP was about Paul Raymond at least we seem to be getting back on track!

According to the Daily Mail you are not the first.


Apparently they had "dinner" together on a number of occasions.

Being a politician does have some benefits I see.

Still I don't suppose Blunkett knows he's ugly.
