- Webcurios 17/07/20 - Reading Time: 16 minutes Blah blah blah week blah blah blah. We have some HOUSEKEEPING to take care of. Point the first: I am off next week due to having STUFF TO DO that is going to keep me offline for two whole days (unconscionable, I know). You will have to find a way of consoling yourselves in my…

- Webcurios 10/07/20 - Reading Time: 36 minutes CAN EVERYONE STOP SHOUTING AT EACH OTHER PLEASE? Sorry, I appreciate that typing that in all caps does rather render me a crushing hypocrite, but, well, really. Could we all just please be quiet please and accept the fact that the overriding principle of life ought to be something along the lines of ‘do not be…

- Webcurios 03/07/20 - Reading Time: 35 minutes ARE YOU ALL READY???? It feels a little bit like that moment at the start of Gladiators where that little bloke is doing his rolling Rs and getting the crowd all gee’d up, and the current crop of pituitary meatheads are all pawing at the ground and flexing their lumps in anticipation as they look…

- Webcurios 26/06/20 - Reading Time: 32 minutes It is TOO HOT and I am slightly hungover and, honestly, all I want to do is get into a bed made of ice and possibly never wake up. Because I’m really fcuking nice, though – or, alternatively, because writing this rubbish has now become the sort of weekly compulsion that I couldn’t stop even if…

- Webcurios 19/06/20 - Reading Time: 33 minutes Has the optimism persisted, I know you’re all dying to know? Is Web Curios once again going to be suffused with the sunny glow of potentially-better-tomorrow? Yeah, why not?! Come on, it’s Friday and I’ve spent the vast majority of the week at a point of just-simmering rage at the seeming incompetence of almost everyone…

- Webcurios 12/06/20 - Reading Time: 32 minutes I can’t speak for you, but I feel almost optimistic this week. It does feel a bit like there might be change happening – and, unusually for the past few years, it doesn’t feel like the sort of change that’s going to have us whimpering in terror! Yes, obviously this is all very previous and obviously nothing has…

- Webcurios 29/05/20 - Reading Time: 33 minutes Jesus, that was a week. It started with a national feeding frenzy over the minutiae of a series of car journeys, mutated into one of the biggest ‘fcuk you’s I can remember seeing a government giving an electorate since basically Italy in the 80s and 90s (and, er, 00s), segued into another series of demonstrations of how horrifically…

- Webcurios 22/05/20 - Reading Time: 36 minutes How are we? I mean, how are we all really? I’ll start – I’m…I’m quite tired of this, I think it’s fair to say, and it’s starting to make me fray at the edges slightly. I was approximately 15 seconds away from committing professional suicide on a client call yesterday; it was honestly so, so tempting to interrupt…

- Webcurios 15/05/20 - Reading Time: 35 minutes Gah! I am late, and, look, it’s nice outside and now that it’s ok to be outside – OR IS IT? – and go to the park and shout at someone I know from a distance of 2m – IS IT THOUGH? IS IT??? – then that’s what I think I am going to do. …

- Webcurios 08/05/20 - Reading Time: 40 minutes It’s almost over! We’re almost free! Summer is here! It’s not almost over! Shut up with your chat! NO TOUCHING OR FRATERNISING! I don’t know about you, but I don’t know who believe – the famously trustworthy and reliable gentleman currently in charge of the country, the simillarly reliable tabloid and right-wing press…It’s all so tricky! …
