Having a possible stye on my right eyelid I wanted to have a good look.I soon found that I could close my left eye and see through my right eye. But the other way around, I couldn't.Meaning I couldnt close my right eye and keep my left one open.I'm left handed. Has this something to do with it?

Try it and let's see the results.

Is this what you mean Mick? If so when would do this? Extract from Winkapedia:


Both eyes (bat/flutter)[edit]

To close and open, or "wink", both eyes is usually an involuntary action known as a "blink". Though if done intentionally, in a particular way (such as once slowly or a few times in a row quickly), while giving a sweet or suggestive look with the eyes, often with the head tilted or at an angle in combination with the shoulders, is known as to "bat an eyelash", "bat/batting eyelashes", or "flutter/fluttering eyelashes". This is most commonly done by girls, as a way of flirting, showing interest, or in an attempt to persuade the receiver.

I'm a lefty and can only do the opposite to you! (if trying to look through just one eye, can only close my right eye. My left one won't open/close independently, it's a tad frustrating).

Eh? What light Seabag?


PS The pounds certainly will be by my son. Trust you had a good trip.

Only being able to wink on one side is very common - it's linked to which is your dominant eye for 'sighting'


It's also pretty common for your dominant eye to be on the opposite side from your dominant hand; lots of right handed people find they have to shoot left-handed because they can only close their right eye.

I was pretty handy at target shooting as a kid and fancied I might have been a sniper, except I couldn't kill an ant without begging for forgiveness or more importantly keep my left eye shut.


It was a common problem in the rifle club and some of the shooters sported pirate eyepatches

Well I have learnt something today because I thought that a "wink" was only a "wink" when executed with ONE eye.


I can blink...I mean...wink with both eyes. I write with right hand, pluck eyebrows with right hand, saw branches with both right and left arm and play football with left and right foot.

    • It's also worth noting that heat, direct sunshine and dehydration all exacerbate the effects of alcohol on the human body. So get yourself out there and get truly spangled at a fraction of the cost.
    • Common sense does not prevail. Keep saying things that need to be heard, whether some people are bored of hearing it or not.  
    • For clarity,  since the heat seems to be getting to people - my friends in Hampshire, Essex, Cornwall tell me that the same insanity is happening there - probably in other counties to! I have in the past seen adults walking last year with  young children with no hat or to the best of my knowledge suns-cream on and idiots in Dulwich Park allowing their children or who knows maybe it is the au pair or nanny taking the kids to the park when it is over 30 degrees.. I rest my case - doesn’t matter if you have 4 feet or 2 - 4 feet suffer more as generally have a coat and no protection on their feet / 2 feet at least have foot protection. Like I said, I am just joining  the conversation - everyone has a right to their own opinion. For all you know or anyone, if a person has taken a dump might have been unwell, couldn’t find toilet in time.. numerous reasons - mental health problems, homeless whatever. Not pleasant I agree, but get a pair of rubber gloves and deal with it. We all live in the same community and in this heat with kids about, would have thought plus flies etc - do it if you live on the same street or area / people just walk past I assume and god knows how long council would take to come.  Says nothing about human nature - not my problem… seems to be the way of the world in towns these days.   
    • I don't think it's just dog-owners who are half-wits. An actual human has taken a dump in a newspaper and left it lying on CP Road. Flies are having a field day. I ought to tell the council but pity the poor person sent to clean it up.
