Sailed the glidepath to the sun

Congratulations on purchasing your ticket to the Riddled Fund-Raising Spring Cruise!
Of course the Early-Bird Special (worm not included) does not just buy you the cruise of a life-time in the vicinity of the Auckland Islands* and a chance to meet other Riddled readers in the flesh in various stages of decomposition. It is also your entree to an intellectually-stimulating course of seminars and symposia about marine worms, bicycles, trebuchets and salted pineapples. Another Kiwi and Smut Clyde will deliver their celebrated music-hall routine, "Symplesiomorphies in the Tracheates and Chelicerates", all this and a saucy catchphrase involving kippers. Tigris says she'll talk about something. There will also be guest speakers so expect no end of sodding buggery goddammit.

Community singing: always a possibility
And remember, your donations will ensure that the Riddled political agenda will remain in the public eye, or at least on the court pages.

* Exact vicinity to be determined, but Captain Knobloch has been assiduous in attending his AA meetings and we are optimistic that this year we will remain in the correct ocean at least.

    Not Set the controls for the heart of the sun?

    Love and kisses, Alison, who provides all the sodding buggery goddammit you'll ever need.

    Almost as much fun as the NRO cruise with Jonah (in this version he swallows the whale).

    Well, thank goodness for that.

    Having spent far and away too many years in the incorrect ocean, and suffered through the resentment and opprobrium it earned me, it will be nice to relax with a nice salted beverage and release periodic press notifications that this time I have gotten it right...

    This isn't one of those boats where everyone gets sick is it? Because I will not set foot on a Ship of Flus.

    Let the record show that there is indeed a tradition of early Pink Floyd references amongst my people.

    Smut, it is the entirety of my CV (which accounts for my less-than-stellar career path to date).
