- Webcurios 27/06/25 - Reading Time: 37 minutes Blah blah blah blah Glastonbury blah blah blah. I can’t imagine any Curios readers who are currently on Worthy Farm will be opening this week’s edition (although a special, all-caps HELLO YOU POOR FCUKS to anyone attempting to read this on a crushing comedown and three hours’ sleep on Saturday or Sunday morning!), so…

- Webcurios 20/06/25 - Reading Time: 37 minutes Yes, yes, it’s hot, WE FCUKING KNOW. Hopefully you’re not so broken and exhausted by the EXTREME TEMPERATURES (lol my word you really are not going to enjoy The Future, let me tell you) that you are too tired to click and read, because otherwise I’ve spaffed out 10k words of high-quality (look, it’s…

- Webcurios 13/06/25 - Reading Time: 36 minutes I went on a hen party last weekend. I appreciate given Everything Going On this is not exactly seismic or thrilling news, but, given the aforementioned Paucity Of Nice Things To Talk About this week, I thought I would open with some HEARTWARMING LEARNINGS from my experience. WOMEN ARE SO NICE! I am obviously…

- Webcurios 06/06/25 - Reading Time: 37 minutes THEY LET ME IN TO AMERICA! I was, I confess, momentarily a touch scared as I prepared to hand over my documents to the nice (INCREDIBLY MUSCULAR) man behind the immigration desk, but other than asking me one genuinely baffling question (“So, this is your goddaughter?” “Yes” “So did you baptise her?” “Hang on,…

- Webcurios 23/05/25 - Reading Time: 39 minutes So it turns out that the long flight I thought I was taking on Sunday is in fact tomorrow, meaning I am SLIGHTLY UP AGAINST IT, timewise, and should probably have spent more time washing pants than staring at webspaff – but you’re grateful for my endeavours, aren’t you? Eh? Oh. FINE, SUIT YOURSELVES.…

- Webcurios 16/05/25 - Reading Time: 37 minutes WELL. What a great week for everyone invested in picking up the overton window and moving it ALL THE WAY OVER THERE! There’s an odd irony in the fact that as everyone debates the assisted dying bill in parliament this week, noone seems to be making any connection between the need for a serious…

- Webcurios 09/05/25 - Reading Time: 34 minutes Last night I got a copy of a GLOSSY MAGAZINE with MY ACTUAL BYLINE IN IT and, er, as a result I got quite p1ssed in celebration and as such a) this has been a real fcuking struggle, as might become apparent from the coming carcrash prose; b) if you are the nice person…

- Webcurios 02/05/25 - Reading Time: 41 minutes I CAME BACK! Much like Jesus, I return after Easter! Tbh I probably look about as healthy he did after the tombstint too, but let’s not dwell on that. I achieved! I went to Italy, I battled The Forces of Bureaucracy, and I returned! I DID NOT KILL THE POPE! Briefly, actually, on the…

- Webcurios 11/04/25 - Reading Time: 40 minutes HELLO EVERYONE! There’s a slightly demob-happy air to Curios today – don’t worry, you won’t be able to tell and it’s obviously made no discernible difference to the quality of the coming prose, so don’t get your hopes up – given I am taking a couple of weeks off and so can maybe remove…

- Webcurios 04/04/25 - Reading Time: 34 minutes Perhaps predictably, I have spent this week feeling…somewhat jaded – it turns out that while it is still very much possible to stay up all night at my age, it is perhaps not necessarily entirely advisable given the likely impact on one’s general sense of wellbeing. That said I had a very fun time…
