According to a recent study spending too much time sitting down can shorten your lifespan. American researchers spent 14 years studying 120,000 men and women and found that the more time they spent sitting, the greater their risk of dying prematurely. They discovered that women who spend six or more hours sitting per day had a 37 percent chance of dying, as compared to women who spent less than three hours a day in a chair. It was 17 percent higher for men.

I wonder how many hours over the 14 years the researchers spent sitting collating this?

I have only a short time left then.

I guess all office workers must die young.



Old age is a wonderful thing.................................at times

good point jeane, bus drivers and cabbies that do not get out of their seats and have a walk around to get the circulation going when they get the opportunity usually kick the bucket quicker than most of us.

I must admit I got up from my computer and stretched my legs after I read it! Although after more years than I care to remember with the Civil Service I guess it’s too little too late!

So, there is a good argument for reintroducing the kitchen sink chain to keep women standing and therefore healthier?

Very funny Sidney!

Yes lots of ironing cleaning and scrubbing are also very good for wimmin as it stimulates the inner self, burns calories, and gives masses of satisfaction!!

Dr Klaus Swinleybotm of Vienna has found in a recent study that the wearing of very high hells is also very good for women generally, trying to tother at a great height helps with balance and posture, and as an aside he noted that they get taken out more.

You're on..I don't frighten easily..however wearing a basque does that mean you're a terrorist in the bedroom?

Marek

Not because of the basque Marek, it's the balaclava I also wear that gives it away............

Bern

Oh no, not a balaclava !!




Roger

Hmm, now there's an image. Bern arrayed sexily on the kitchen table, in her best basque and covered in baklava. What feast that would be!

Bern I must apologise. My last posting made you out to be nothing more than a pure sex object, I'm sorry.

Sid, you carry on mate. It's been a while.......................................

Bern

Ah! this topic has certainly woke me up basques, stockings and high heels, bring them on! and certainly not for standing over the ironing board or scrubbing and cleaning PaulB, tut tut, where's your memory gone, have you forgotten to take your pills today

Honestly! Fassbinder, Fellini, Bolando ............I dunno!!!!!!!!!!
