Apart from my school problem it's never caused me grief tbh. When I changed primary schools they made us use fountain pens and I found them so much easier to use than those awful berol pens. In this day and age there's definitely no problem being left handed at all. As for this thread being closed don't you think what started out as something fairly nasty has become quite a nice sensible discussion (or at least it had before the last few posts lol) Great to see great spirited threads on here
I heard a story that when Bob Paisley took over from Bill Shankley, he received a card from Shanks saying, "Bill Shankley says Bob Paisley is the greatest manager". According to the story, Paisley inserted a comma so that it read, "Bill Shankley, says Bob Paisley is the greatest manager", and returned the card. Whether the story is true or not, maybe the Liverpool board would know.
Well maybe that is possible Resurgam, it is a good story anyway. I liked Shankley's line saying there are two teams in Liverpool, Liverpool and Liverpool reserves. he was probably the best character ever in the game. Not conceited like Clough or Ferguson.
Cloughie wasn't conceited, it was all humour with him, like whan he said, "I wouldn't say I'm the best manager, but I'm definitely in the top one!"
This: My Dear Pat, The dinner we shared the other night -- it was absolutely lovely! Not in my wildest dreams could I ever imagine anyone as perfect as you are. Could you -- if only for a moment - think of our being together forever? What a cruel joke to have you come into my life only to leave again; it would be heaven denied. The possibility of seeing you again makes me giddy with joy. I face the time we are apart with great sadness. John P.S.: I would like to tell you that I love you. I can't stop thinking that you are one of the prettiest women on earth. or this: My Dear, Pat the dinner we shared the other night. It was absolutely lovely -- not!

If it's been brought up in the past and nobody has paid attention then you should've realised not enough people cared to mention it again.
