What's Awimb' Opinion on standing desks?

[Pat Vegas]

There is a woman here who has one.

She looks like a conductor.

I can't see the benefit. maybe if you have a bad back. But I don't see how doing your work whilst acquiring aching legs can benefit your life.

Only if you have a mini-fridge underneath

I would hope she'd have something rather warmer underneath, to be honest, although I'm sure we've all been in your scenario too :-(

I would mind if there was a treadmill under me. I could run all day* :cloud9:

Never heard of something so fúcking stupid. I can tell you they will never catch on in Ireland.

You're lucky though, you get plenty of exercise what with picking the spuds and the tarmacking and that.

We're a bit more sedentary on the mainland.

I did pick spuds when I was younger. My mother’s family were of a rural background, and I am being generous here, and at the appropriate time each year we would be despatched to the fields to pick the crop. Needless to say being sophisticated “soft” urbane townies we were mocked endlessly and picked on by the rougher hewn locals.

We always had the last laugh mind you.

I have never been involved in the tarmacadam business though I have laid concrete.

I arrived at Shannon for a visit when I was about 18 and was collected by my cousin who explained that we'd have to hurry as it was the start bringing in the hay and we'd have to help out.

Three days I chucked fúcking bales around. 3 fúcking days. With my aunt bringing out milk bottles full of cold fúcking tay.

You wonder why I'm bitter?

Ignore Sir C, sw. I doubt his soft, unmanly hands have ever known the joy of lifting the sod and seeing God's holy tubers winking at you from amidst the soil, promising to give to you of their starchy bounty.

[World's End Stella]

I have applied for one as I suffer from sciatica. Seems a nice solution, the desk easily transitions from sitting to standing so that I can avoid the walks around the office that allow me to stare at the hot secretaries as well as relieving the pain.

Hold on...

Indeed. I expect as others toiled the land he was in fact driving around in his car picking up imaginary women for dates.

It was far from baling hay that Dutch nancy boy was reared.

That's one of those madey-up nonsenses, isn't it? Like peanut 'allergies', or asthma or, God help us, autism. :rolleyes:

Not at all, if I sit more than 20 minutes my left arse cheek begins to develop a searing hot pain which forces me to stand up and walk around to get rid of it.

It's miles more painful than your pretendy prostate nonsense, as an example.

:shrug: I never claimed to suffer with prostate pain. I told you that I was resigned tro eventually being killed by the bloddy thing, is all.

Your anus hurts because you insist on eating that grain-fed mush, rather than honest man-meat, fed on grass. Because that's what cows eat, see? Grass.

The greatest steak in the world is fed on grain, Charles. You have my pity for thinking otherwise and trying to tie it to your arsehole issues.

Ya great Dutch poof ya.

steak is an inanimate lump of meat generally so attempting to feed it grain or grass would seem like a futile gesture

I see the Germans propensity for being pedantic dullards has worn off on you, Luis. You'll be watching porn in shorts and sandals next.

Hockey or field hockey?

Yes to the former as I am a red blooded, heterosexual male who was raised in Canada and it's pretty much impossible under those conditions to have not done so.

And yes to the latter now that I am an old man and need a really slow game in my old age. :old:

Hockey is a girls sport F.

I only refer to it as Ice hockey on here but to me it's hockey.

Not that you will be interested SW but I was pleasantly surprised that the 'Cooper' brand is still alive in well in Ireland in the world of curling. http://www.cooper.ie/

They were a big hockey equipment manufacturer for years until the mid 90s. I had no idea they still existed in Ireland. I know those old school hurling helmets used to go for a good amount on ebay.

Hurling F, hurling.

Curling is something they do in Scotland, on ice, with a floor brush. And believe it or not it is actually an Olympic “sport”.

:hehe: sorry typo. I have curling on the brain. Apart from shouty scots women there are some tremendous ladies in curling.
