You must get some funny looks at work?4 -

Ricky puts it down to being small.daveydanger said:Changing the subject from wonky humans and back to the thread title for a sec.. Ricky Holmes looks so effective at this level, you wonder what he was was doing in League 2 for so long?
He looks to me like he would probably even just about hold his own in the Championship, when you consider someone like Harriott.
Did he have a huge injury at some point? Or maybe does his small build hold him back?
Perhaps the deluge of foreign players in the English game held him back too.0 -
Academies seriously don't like smaller young players. I wonder what Messi would be like if he was English.0

Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson both bowl right arm and bat left handed.0

Funnily enough I'm ambisinistrous, but so are several League One players so it can't be that bad.1

I'm genuinely amazed there are people out there that notice these thingsfattmatt said:Just watching the highlights from Saturday with my step son.
Holmes' wonder goal was scored with his right foot.
We googled Ricky Holmes penalty and he takes pens with his right foot.
Yet he signed his CAFC contract with his left hand.
Media set up maybe? Surely being left handed and right footed is pretty rare?6 -
Being right handed and footed, I have always eaten with the most useful implement, the fork, in my right hand not the left, which seems to be the standard, yet illogical way for most right handed people.0

The standard way would be to have the fork in your left hand unless you were American ?seth plum said:Being right handed and footed, I have always eaten with the most useful implement, the fork, in my right hand not the left, which seems to be the standard, yet illogical way for most right handed people.

Because the fork is not the primary implement for dexterity - you are merely using it to hold your food in place whilst cutting it and to ferry the meal into your mouth. The knife is the implement you ought to be using with your stronger hand since you are trying to dice your food with it. Since you more or less only using a fork when eating, whereas knives are used for many other things, it is natural for you to be always holding the knife in your dominant hand.seth plum said:Being right handed and footed, I have always eaten with the most useful implement, the fork, in my right hand not the left, which seems to be the standard, yet illogical way for most right handed people.
Funnily enough I am left-handed for using a knife ordinarily (such as peeling potatoes, chopping vegetables, opening letters, sawing wood (with a saw, not a knife but still it's a bladed instrument), carving meat etc.) but I eat with the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand. So I'm the illogical one here. As I mentioned before, I am ambisinistrous, or cross-dominant, so to be honest it is always a bit of a lottery how I decide to approach an activity.2 -
Agree with this. The art in eating is always in your knife work. I cant imagine using a knife in my left hand to cut a tough steak for instance. The fork just prongs the food and you put it in your mouth. No finesse is required and you can use a fork just as well with both hands!Fiiish said:

My son who is left handed mirrors me with the fork in the 'wrong' hand approach.0

We mustn't forget that there is a whole raft of etiquette built up regarding this. It differs from Europe to America. Is it important ? Up to a point I think it is.0

Yet another thread gets to a fork in the road and ends up jack-knifed!

Right handed with illegible hand writing and very left footed. At racket sports, much stronger on back hand and can play table tennis with either hand. I think I was brought up in the days when you were told off if you tried to pick up a pen or pencil in your left hand.0

I would :-q2

I'm right handed but have two left feet when it comes to dancing.1

Anyway getting back to Ricky any news on his injury from Saturday. We will be very short in midfield if he doesn!t play0

Are you a veggie Seth? I find veggies don't need the knife so much so relegate it to the weaker hand (or promote the fork to the stronger hand).seth plum said:Being right handed and footed, I have always eaten with the most useful implement, the fork, in my right hand not the left, which seems to be the standard, yet illogical way for most right handed people.
God, I bore myself sometimes.4 -
I've got two left feet and I am all thumbs. Does that count?0
