[BNM] Office chairs...

[Adam Kemeny]

I bought this IKEA chair a year or so ago and am amazed at how long I  
can sit in it with no discomfort at all. It's not the prettiest but  
for less than £100 I can't complain really. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/70096457

As an aside most back experts will advise you to take regular breaks  
from the screen which involve getting up and moving around. I always  
forget so use http://www.dejal.com/timeout/ to remind me. It greys my  
screen at specified intervals.
