It helps to know that back in the days, Gabbitas & Thring was the name of the leading UK teacher-recruitment company. Now they're Gabbitas, Truman & Thring and they call themselves "educational consultants", which somehow isn't so funny.
I'm beginning to fear that the forest is like a small hadron collider, and while Thring creeps around one way and Gabbitas creeps around the other, Gabbitas was actually an anti-Thring and when they eventually collided the annihilated in a burst of pure nincompoopery so powerful it rendered our hosts unable to function, hence the rather static nature of Riddled HQ these days....
Apropos of the illustration, thanks for the unexpected burst of Ronald Searle: I've got a marvellous novel from the 1950s illustrated by him, and he manages to sum up and ridicule the genteel englishman wonderfully well.

It can't have been the akvavit!
Mikey should know from noncompoopery.
Indeed, I did my postdoc studies in nimcompoopery, focusing primarily on it's cosmological manifestations and impact on stellar lifecycles.
'Cause those interstellar exercise bikes are awesome!
