I can’t find any photo evidence, but I think Nick Clegg is right handed. (Strange really, pictures of politicians used to frequently show them signing important documents, but very few do these days) Apparently David Cameron is believed to be the first left-handed Prime Minister since James Callaghan.
Does that make this new political situation an ambidextrous alliance between Conservative and Liberal Democrats, or that we’ll have a situation where the left hand won’t know what the right is doing?

As I started reading your post Pseu, I felt your last sentence coming on, wonderful, and I think you are right. It’ll be fun watching.
🙂
I am of course left handed myself, and my husband is right handed and we work pretty well together… different thinking styles, maybe?

I used to play squash with an ambidextrous guy. Extremely difficult to beat as he seldom had to return the shot with a backhand.
Although left handed, in a right handed world I have to assume some ambidexterity… and it is a useful thing to acquire.
To be utterly coarse about those two.
Both are complete tossers with either hand!
I knew a girl who was ambidextrous – in art lessons at school she would use both hands at the same time to paint…
Wow. Did she produce good art with either hand?
A left handed guy filled in a form for me today. As he wrote with his arm stuck up in the air so he could see what he wrote, I couldn’t help thinking how cack handed he was. Woops.
Some folk lack elegance and style whichever hand they use
Showing your usual level of humanity – a common failing among the vertically challenged.
Why did someone else need to fill it in for you, Madeof?
Nym, he couldn’t reach the desk.
How on Earth would you know Janus, how tall he is?
Brilliant! She was one of the best in the class. 🙂
So the left writes right and the right writes left, it is all rather sinister. Our new bloke’s a lefty-lefty by the way, at least he’s consistent.
Re #14 I think Janus knows how much Richard looks up to people like Henri Toulouse-Lautrec.
Dawn of a New Day: I like it!
I really think it may be.
Boa, re your ambidextrous artist: A bit of a Leonardo? He used both hands, and produced mirror writing when using his left (which apparently I used to do when I first started to write. )
I knew Leonardo was ambidextrous and most of his notes are in mirror writing, but I wasn’t aware that he did that with his left hand. But since you mention it, I would imagine (having waved my left hand around a bit!) that it would be quite natural to write backwards if you were left-handed.
As long as with the marriage made in smoke-filled rooms, we don’t hear the cry “99, change hands!”
I heard someone on the Toady programme on R4 today describe them as the Ant and Dec of politics!
Which would be which?
Ah, well! Some time ago he was boasting about an antique bed which he said the Madeofs use. It is only long enough for one Snow White’s diggers.
This has nothing to do with the subject of the blog.
We were visiting some relatives today who have ‘French’ grandchildren apparently the kids are taught that Trafalgar was an indecisive sea battle in which the English Admiral was killed.
As you see very little to do with Cameron or Clegg
Good to see you back!
I suppose if you can’t change history you can always re-write it!
