- Webcurios 14/05/21 - Reading Time: 30 minutes HI! HI EVERYONE! It’s…it’s been a bit of a struggle this week, I’ll admit, mainly as a result of my having been out three nights on the bounce for the first time in over a year and having slightly lost the hang of hangovers rather; still, in a way it’s slightly-comforting to be sitting here…

- Webcurios 07/05/21 - Reading Time: 35 minutes You’re lucky to be getting this, if I’m honest with you (‘lucky’ is doing a lot of work here, I realise) – I feel a bit iffy after vaxx #2, but figured that the only thing that was likely to make me feel worse than the jab was being backed up for another week with…

- Webcurios 30/04/21 - Reading Time: 37 minutes HAPPY BANK HOLIDAY FRIDAY EVERYONE! Except of course those of you who are either not fortunate enough to get bank holidays off, or who are freelancers for whom the term means nothing other than NO MONEY, or who are foreign and for whom the entire concept is meaningless! Hello! Thanks to everyone who said nice…

- Webcurios 23/04/21 - Reading Time: 35 minutes Hello! Well, it’s been…er…Jesus, it’s been 9 months. 9 MONTHS! How are you all? Or at least those of you who’ve not taken the opportunity to put a hard block on these emails by now. Are you all…ok? No, of course you’re not, we’re all fcuked by over a year of death and misery and…

- Webcurios 31/07/20 - Reading Time: 39 minutes Well that was a fortni…actually, no, fcuk it, I can’t be bothered. IT’S ALL OVER. I wrote my first Web Curios for Imperica on 8 February 2013, a few short months after binning off a reasonably-good job with an email that, even now, is the single piece of writing that people most remember me for and, in…

- 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…
