    My old PC chair has been on its last legs for months now. The screws holding the arms in place snapped, so I had to improvise and use attachments from an old screwdriver to keep the thing from falling to bits.

    Finally gave up and bought a new chair today. It's all new with soft arms and fancy headrest, and it DOESN'T TILT BACK! :(

    It's gonna take a hell of a lot of getting used to. I miss my old chair...

    Oh wait, I've found out how to get it to tilt back :D I just had to pull the lever that adjusts the height. Just like my old chair! How could I forget?


    I still miss the old chair's armrest level, but I'm getting used to this one now :D

    Did Mr V break it when he kept whizzing round?

    Nah, Mr V was on the new chair :)

    He likes the new chair, though he says the armrests are too high up for him. I have to keep reminding him that he actually has no arms [​IMG]

    What where you really doing on the chair to break it?

    Oh, all sorts. It isn't really a case of me sitting on the chair and it suddenly breaking, it was a gradual thing. The old chair had two plastic armrests held in place by four screws each. One screw snapped, then another screw snapped, so each side only had three. Then the middle of one side's armrest broke, and I had to add the third screw from the other side to keep it stable. Then the other side took a similar turn, and I had to even out the screws again and improvise. I ended up sticking screwdriver attackments into the screw holes to keep the chair from falling to pieces.

    I had that chair for nearly ten years. :(

    1) You definately are.

    2) Your meticulous attention to even the most irrelevant of details - and your numbering of your points here.
    3) So did I.
    4) I thought you were going to bed....

    1: It's spelt "definitely"
    2: Point 1 could be taken as meticulous attention to even the most irrelevant of detail
    3: Point 1 might even be wrong because I'm tired
    4: See 3
    5: I just had a look on the internets for symptoms of Autism and meticulous attention to detail wasn't mentioned. I tried putting that into Google though, and it identified it as a symptom of being a pedantic pain in the arse. It's as if Google knew me personally :D

    1) I did that on purpose because I knew you'd correct it and prove me right.

    2) Well, point 1 was so good, I don't even need a point 2....

    1: Yeah right, next you'll be telling me that you have proof that you beat me in the space game [​IMG]
    2: I din't even know definitely had two 'i's until about five months ago
    3: Similar story with "infiltrate".
    4: Why are we still talking in points?
    5: Now I really am off to bed. Or I'm gonna play some guitar first. Who knows?
