richtea there are all sorts of suggestions, including my own personal favourite, the Persian rug (see attached). I feel it could be easily adapted to suit CJs emu shag coat.

That's hilarious! Think we need to re publish your booklet and add CJ faces on it, another topic for the AGM?

That is by far the best use for the emu coat thing and probably some of cloaks worn in Reign too

P.s should not have read this whilst waiting on 5yo at school - cue lots of mums looking at me trying not to laugh out loud

According to the web site You Claim, accidents involving swivel chairs are common and usually attributed to misuse. Simple safety precautions cannot only help safely secure the chair but also can help users avoid body stress and strain. Lubrication - Movable components on swivel chairs, especially those on chair lifts, should be greased every six to 12 months, depending on use.
Just thought this might be useful for your AGM...

I don't think there will be any problem on having our swivel chairs well oiled on a regular basis - especially at the AGM

I'm waiting for cjwoof to respond to that....

Girls, you have brightened up my day no end!! Although those pictures should have come with a warning not to look at work (particularly whilst sitting on a swivel chair!).

fwk don't think you can get out of coming to the AGM by calling it "your AGM"!!! I'm afraid you are part of it now too !!

Oh goodie! I didn't like to presume!

I think I've already stated my insistence on following correct H&S procedures regarding prototype CJ Swivel Chair, but thank you FWK for confirming the necessity for persistent lubrication for ease of entry and disembarkation. It is, quite categorically, an absolute must in this day and age of litigation, not to mention to avoid serious damage to CJ's digits.

I'm worried that activities might come under the umbrella of 'misuse' though, and therefore render your cover null and void.

Am thinking it would be unfair to leave Richard Armitage out of the action, so propose to dismount from Rupert (the H and S lubrication would aid this) and land ready in the spread eagle position as shown by onlygirl's picture. RA would have borrowed KA's shag rug of course.

I'm pleased to see this last position is only a 2 level of difficulty but high in comfort level: I don't think I'd be in any fit state to attempt a higher grading by that point. A nice lie down on a comfy emu shag rug would be just the ticket.

I have to say that, although the attached refers to a ball chair only, I think it could easily be adapted to an alternative swivel chair option if even more variety is required. I do hope that wouldn't count as misuse though since it doesn't fall within the stated guidelines. It would certainly allow for easier access to the knob lever.

Intense stare...

That last one looks much more achievable on a swivel chair. Best order lots for the AGM

Tbh, that's the position I'd have thought of for the swivel chair. Adopting that position if time is at a premium, desks could be placed in front of each participant and emails etc could still be written and replied to.

If not too distracted by BA's intense stare of course.

OMG, these should come with health warnings when reading in an open plan office at work! Had to close the screen down immediately and take a sneaky look when everyone else had left.

Like the sound of them though for our AGM! Have we set a date yet?

Will read this more thoroughly at home in the comfort of my armchair (not swivel chair - though I am sitting in one now at work).

(Ilove fans herself to dispel the hot flush).

Re the levels of difficulty,are you just going to presume that every one is at advanced level or will there be forms to fill out beforehand??

In the interests if bureaucracy busting maybe there should be some sort of self assessment before the AGM.

Failing that a simple medical assessment with a thigh master to judge strength of thigh grip would be easy to administer.

Shelf assessment or self assessment pixie? Wouldn't want to get the two mixed up and lead to confusion, although if the shelf needs to be assessed prior to the AGM, I'm happy to volunteer for the task

WHAJEB I for one am at distinction star level of swivel and ball so deserve to be at the front of the queue.

RL still too ridiculously Busy. Have spent most of day sitting on kitchen chair, sadly nothe swivel chair planning lesson for observation . am wearing combat trousers and black top to unleash my inner MD and help me stay focused.

CJWOOF think I'm going to have to admit defeat in the company of such gymnasts and dedicated well practised perfectionists, I fear I shall be in the corner with my oil can reading jens ff and watching OG to pass on comments in the unlikely instance of anyone losing focus. I shall however be waiting patiently in the hope of a long slow screw coming along drink or otherwise
