  • Webcurios 08/08/25 - Reading Time: 36 minutes   HI EVERYONE HELLO! Ok, so this week I am eschewing any sort of pithy commentary on THIS FCUKING WORLD WE LIVE IN in favour of an update about everyone’s (ok, my) favourite annual awards – THE TINY AWARDS! (any of you who DON’T CARE about lovely, non-commercial websites can obviously skip this bit and…

  • Webcurios 01/08/25 - Reading Time: 38 minutes   We’re not going to talk about w4nking AT ALL this week, don’t worry. Instead I’m going to get this intro out of the way and crack on with the links with maximum alacrity as, well, I think even by my standards this is…perhaps a touch on the prolix side and I don’t want to…

  • Webcurios 25/07/25 - Reading Time: 39 minutes   HAVE YOU SECURED YOUR ACCESS TO BONGO YET??? Yes, that’s right, today is ‘if you want to look at people fcuking on the internet from a UK IP address you need to prove you’re over 18, or alternatively use some very simple software to fool the pornographers into believing you’re actually browsing from Haiti’…

  • Webcurios 18/07/25 - Reading Time: 35 minutes   Whoever you are, whatever you’re doing, regardless of the degree of fundamental dissatisfaction with your current lot in life, at least this week of all weeks you can bask safe in the knowledge that there are a couple of people right now having a worse time than you are – because it’s the schadenfreude…

  • Webcurios 11/07/25 - Reading Time: 34 minutes   To the best of my knowledge, nothing massively-humiliating has happened to me this week (NB – should anyone reading this have a radically-different opinion, feel free to let me know, but, well, *gently*) meaning that I don’t have a COMEDY ANECDOTE for you this week. Frankly even if I did I am down about…

  • Webcurios 04/07/25 - Reading Time: 38 minutes   So last night my friend Tom and I went to see a piece of ‘immersive theatre’ in London (I am not going to mention its name, for reasons that will shortly become apparent); I’ve been interested in this kind of thing since doing something called Journey to the End of the Night in London…

  • 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.

  • 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,…
