Sorry meant other way around, I always get confused with left and right Blush

It's a serious point, in some cultures the right hand is used for eating and greeting etc...the other is used for certain toilet activities Ninja and its a bit of an insult to offer the hand you wipe yer arse with as a handshake Nod
