Southpaw too. Also use the mouse in my left hand, but don’t swap the buttons over as some do.
My right handed ex also uses the mouse left handed. Because when she first started using one it was on my computer and to the left of the keyboard.

I’m left handed and eat like a right handed person. My sister’s right handed and eats like a left handed person.

Come on, this is Fesshole! At least do some earwax cleaning or bum scratching with it before putting it back on the sink.

Is there a provision for digital ID to only exist on the phone for a specified period?

I have an early morning Eurostar to Paris in a few weeks, which will mean doing my biometrics for the new European EES scan at 5am. Those are not going to be great biometrics!

I wouldn't travel without paying, but when I buy my ticket and board at an open station, disembark at an open station and nobody's checked it on the train I do feel a slight disgruntlement that I've kept my side of the bargain and they could at least have stamped it somewhere along the way!
