struck again. Yesteray I had mentioned how good my Viking steel kneelie chair was, two years service from it and still going well compared to the previous shitty wooden chairs which broke within 4 months of purchase.

Of course it broke on me today ; fortunatly as I was standing up - cast metal thingy at top of the gaslift sheared in half from a round bar it connected to. New one on order with Viking (60 quid or so, so still a bargain at 30quid/year for very comfortable chair)

May now have to go spend several hundred quid on an arc welder to fix up the old chair though :)

D'oh!

I've got to agree about steel kneely chairs. I'm sitting on one right now :) I'm sure mine didn't cost as much as that, though -- it was more like £45, from Staples in Crawley...

I keep meaning to ask work to get me one for there. So much more comfy than the chairs we have in the office...

I <3 kneelie chairs ; besides enabling one to do davros impressions, they've also made my back a lot better than it used to be, sitting upright & having to support myself has made all the muscles sit up and toughen up and do their job properly which has helped with an L4/L5 skiing induced ("hello tree!") injury.

So, for how long have you been looking for an excuse to buy an arc welder?

[beermat]

does one need an excuse? I'd have thought it was an essential piece of household equipment, you know, like a TV, kitchen sink, kettle and PDP11/44...
