- Webcurios 24/10/25 - Reading Time: 34 minutes So it turns out that the nation that most of you (or at least the ones who bothered to engage with my shameless engagement-bait last week) find most irritating or least-fun is, er, your own!

- Webcurios 17/10/25 - Reading Time: 37 minutes It turns out that I am in a bit of a hurry today – THINGS TO DO, PEOPLE TO SEE, YOU KNOW HOW IT IS (I need to get on a bus, it’s all glamour here in South London) – and as such I am going to eschew too much preamble in favour of…

- Webcurios 10/10/25 - Reading Time: 39 minutes Oh Christ, it’s one of those days when I get to the bottom of Curios and have to write this opening bit and I realise that…nothing. I have NOTHING. I leave it to you, then, to imagine the THRILLINGLY SATIRICAL and BITING take I might have instead put here; don’t worry, you’re almost certainly…

- Webcurios 03/10/25 - Reading Time: 36 minutes Leaving aside the obvious tragedy of the attack on Manchester synagogue and the deaths that resulted, and the miserable reality of the continued rise in antisemitism being seen the world over, it was also miserable to be able to broadly predict the way in which the attack and its perpetrator are likely to be…

- Webcurios 25/09/25 - Reading Time: 36 minutes You know, I haven’t felt nostalgic for the experience of attending political party conferences for…well, never, as it happens, they are fcuking AWFUL things.

- Webcurios 05/09/25 - Reading Time: 38 minutes HELLO I AM BACK I AM REFRESHED AND I AM READY TO STUFF YOU FULL OF LINKS ONCE AGAIN! How have you been? For those of you in the UK, have you taken the rest of the country’s lead and decided to spend the past few weeks becoming massively racist (or, more troublingly, just…

- Webcurios 15/08/25 - Reading Time: 42 minutes Have you detected a…a certain ennui about Curios in recent weeks? A degree of fatigue, possibly? A slight uptick in my mentioning how FCUKING TIRED I am? No, of course you haven’t, because I am a PRO-FESH-YUN-AL (a professional *what* is, of course, open to debate) and I wouldn’t ever let the mask slip!…

- 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!
