198: Bendy bike

Hello.

I've been kitting out a new office recently, and (carefully) buying useful things. Here are my equipping-an-office recommendations:

  • Chairs: Okamura Contessa https://www.back2.co.uk/okamura-contessa-chair-black-mesh-w-silver-frame-carpet-castors.html
  • Monitor: 24" (2560 x 1440 pixels) for £195 http://amzn.to/1OhRsKg
  • Printer/scanner for £200 http://amzn.to/22pp1E0
  • Wireless router for £120 http://amzn.to/1Sbqlcm
  • Projector for £355 http://amzn.to/1NFX7QX
  • Fridge for £80 http://amzn.to/21JBIck
     

My old gaffer Mike Bracken was at Hillsborough

And finally a verdict this week
