Also wear my watch on my right hand.

I'm a southpaw, but do most 'Daily' things right handed...

By day a mild mannered IT guru, but when annoyed beyond reason turns in to... 4X4 response guy!

I wish. But no, all my own work. This post completed using right hand mouse manipulation.

Using a boxing term to describe which hand you use.

Is what?

That description is commonly used for left handers.

Dogs on trains*

Don’t get me wrong I like dogs, but a train is not a suitable environment and their owners invariably let them run riot, on the seats, under the seats, slobbering and pissing - rotten

• except guide dogs, they’re well behaved pleasant animals

Although is predominantly an American term.

I must say that I find left-handed people rather sinister.

That's just bad dog ownership full stop. I've had my dog on an off-peak train and even though he can be quite nervous, he was happy to sit on the floor next to me and keep out of peoples' way. Anyone letting their dog on the train off lead is a complete tit.

I don't think I'd take him on a commuter train though, it'd be too stressful for him and everyone else involved.

Dogs and kids both, in my opinion.

Nothing worse than kids let off the lead to run around a train, drooling and pissing everywhere.

One that we lefties embrace.

Only when mentioned by RH folk..

I should probably point out that my use of the word "sinister" was an allusion to the etymology of the word, which is derived from the Latin sinestra (“left hand”) and stems from the fact that left-handedness was seen as in some way demonic, and is how we arrived at the word "sinister".

In olden days, left-handed people would quite literally be beaten into using their right hand like "normal" (sic) people.

Fortunately, we are more enlightened these days.

Also, as nicanary alluded to, the word "dexterous" is derived from the Latin dexter (“right, ready”).

You're perfectly entitled to be annoyed by that if it annoys you.

However, I don't think that I did use it incorrectly.
