[BNM] Office chairs...

[AndrewGill73@gmail.com]

I have a 24 hour operator chair from Furniture at work
(http://www.furnitureatwork.co.uk). It has many adjustments, looks
good in black and is a reasonable price.

I have no back ache despite ignoring all guidelines and often sitting
for 8+ hours coding with no breaks!! Very unhealthy.

cheers,
Andy
