Ahem...

onlygirl I suppose you just happened to have that to hand..?! Why is it called the Champagne Room position and I'm intrigued as to what would constitute a difficulty level of 10?

I always like a challenge and isn't it admirable to set your sights high?

Is that research, jen?

Damn! Someone's gotten in before me!! Can't see any stirrups or rear knobs and raising handles so got to get my patent application in pronto

If it was CJ it would defo be 10/10

I feel it my duty as MNSL to research a very wide array of QS possibilities before completing any writing.

And orphan, I make you right about the difficulty rating - surely it deserves at least a 9?! It looks hard difficult to me

orphan just thinking instead of working that kind of dismount and remount onto Rupert would require an incredible level of core pelvic floor thrust, especially if you think of how high you'd have to leap to leave CJ completely intact, so to speak. You're braver than I, and that's saying something for me in all things pelvic/CJ related

I think the stirrups/nobs would be essential if you were astride (my preferred option). That way one party could be paying attention to the thrusting and the other in charge of swivelling and wheeling between desk/printer/photocopier/franking machine.

Now thats attention to job satisfaction!

Oops was the 6 the difficulty rating? I thought it was quality and satisfaction rating, hence my 10/10 for CJ

pixie use of stirrups/knobs would depend, of course, on whether you were facing frontwards or backwards, but quite multi-functional really and from a H&S point of view, absolutely essential in case of protruding objects.

I think a swivel chair with arm rests would be helpful for the manoeuvre in the picture - so you could work out your arm muscles whilst doing short of push ups.

cjwoof maybe I am being a bit ambitious. And come to think of it, Rupert would probably be so terrified of me landing awkwardly on him when launch myself off CJ that he would deflate not be in the appropriate receiving position.

Sort of not short of (though with my arm strength, they would be short.)

onlygirl just read your last chapter and loved it of course. Now I'm in eager anticipation of the epilogue and Chris' reappearance.

Rupert doesn't look like the type who's ever had a deflated moment, orphan so I don't think your worries are in that department. However, a bit of wheel spin at the vital moment could cause an embarrassing slip up and impale you straight on Ruperts face by accident. And that would be an absolute shame for you.

cjwoof Hmmm, memo to self: ensure there is wheel spin at vital moment.

Maybe a few banana skins scattered around the office floor?

Make sure the wheels are well oiled

Indeed icemist and always, always pay attention to spillage.

I think for orphan's ambitious manoeuvre you will need one standard office chair and one with cjwoof's enhanced features. One could start on the standard swivel chair as per jen's useful fact sheet, make a sprightly dismount (aided by the strong arms of subject 1) onto subject 2 in a forward facing straddle position, utilising the additional features of the non-standard office chair.

Obviously ther is a need for rigorous prototype and H&S testing of this new line at the AGM.

I really hope no husbands are reading this

Definitely think road testing all potential swivel chair models will be necessary at the AGM, maybe across the vast ballroom floor after dinner and cocktails but before the international wrestling. Perhaps splitting the MN delegates in half, one section for the lingerie measuring service and one for the swivel chair road test would speed up the queues. CJ is going to be completely fragged after all that scientific exploration and will need some relief I fear. Best he comes back to my room for that...

jen I've just your photo.... Is it a booklet with other suggestions??

The chair would have to be safety checked and go through lengthly quality control procedures, I think another queue will be formed to carry out these checks if CJ is our model, or RL Chris?

You lot just crack me up, laughing so much I'm crying my eyes are all puffy, see eye consultant in two hours so think I'll just have to resist being on here until later. Note to self sign off now..........

my swivel chair has decided to plunge downwards can't pump it back up, help!

Must sign off!!

Sorry pixie just saw you said about health and safety! Always good to be thorough though ! I'm all over the shop, just got back home and unpacking my food shopping , whilst carrying the bags into the kitchen I realise I have wet feet, I've bloody broken a bottle of wine! It couldn't of been the jam but had to be wine! So annoying, fortunately I have the other 5 bottles :)
