A couple of months ago I asked a question about Office Chairs[^].
I was assessed by our occupational therapist, given a new chair to trial, which was an improvement, but still not right.
Last week I received an email telling me I had won £350 worth of ergonomic office chair, which has just turned up. It looks a lot like the one recommended by Bergholt Stuttley Johnson in the original thread.
A huge improvement straight away.
Only issue now is that the company I won it from wants to use me in a publicity campaign. I have a face for radio and a voice for email.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

You think there's space in there for a chair?!!!

If it isn't Armitage, how can you call it a thrown?

I live in Armitage.
Well, actually in Handsacre cos it is now on the maps as Armitage with Handsacre as the two villages have grown into one.

When I was a kid, I use to think their logo[^] said Armitage Sharks and toilets with this logo on indicated that there were sharks down there. Taking a dump was a stressful business for me as a kid.

Still stressful after a hot ruby?

Since this is about chairs, your ass is all that matters.

Let's not go there - I have no wish to see his ass next time I browse for a new chair...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I'm sure his will be extra-photoshopped since they do even a little of that to attractive females.

Now, there is a job I don't want!

I'm not sure how you sit in a chair, but when I do it my ass is the least visible bit of me.

If a woman was modeling a chair, I doubt her ass would be in it.

Good point.
When I get the photos taken I'll ask for a few in that style just for you

I think you are going to entirely the wrong part of the internet for your furnishing needs.

Perish Polish the thought.

Is it yours, or the companies?
I'd check, and take it home myself...I remember what happened to pens, chairs, desks, computers, whole cubicles even, when anyone went on holiday in one company I worked for...

Mine, but I have no room for it at home.
Plus, it is making a difference to me already and I've only had it a few hours, I want it where I am going to spend most time in it right now. Car crash was a year ago last Monday, I had been getting a lot of benefit from the physio but things have gone backwards in the last month or so, I fear the injections to my spine may be wearing off.
I think it should be OK, chairs are fairly safe around here, only travel a few desks when you are away.
Pens on the other hand.

Do you do any sports ? Like swimming, for instance ? Swimming is said to be good to anything.

If done right.
It's a common mistake, and one that a lot of people jump to whenever you tell them you have a back / neck injury.
I suffer from a lower-back and neck injury myself, and believe me if you don't swim correctly or use the wrong style it can do more harm than good.
But I guess that's true for just about everything.

I worked at one place where pens vanished instantly.
One day out of office: chair gone.
Two days: "good keyboard" and working cables.
One week: Computer, and probably desk (if any good)
Two weeks: Cubicle now inhabited by new employee...
