- 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! …

- Webcurios 01/05/20 - Reading Time: 40 minutes Hi everyone! Hi! How are we all? An uncessary question, obviously, for we are all ecstatic at the news that our Prime Minister has managed to not only cheat death at the hands of the pandemic, but, equally, SPAWN ANOTHER JOHNSON! To the…indeterminate extant ranks of the brood, then, we can welcome whatever the fcuk…

- Webcurios 24/04/20 - Reading Time: 40 minutes Oh Christ, I’ve gone long again. Look, there are too many words coming up, so I’ll keep the intro short. Everything’s still weird, we’re still mostly inside, neither the girfriend or the cat have so-far attempted to kill me (or if they have they’ve been spectacularly subtle about it)…it is what it is. I hope you’re…

- Webcurios 17/04/20 - Reading Time: 35 minutes This is all quite long, isn’t it? HELLO EVERYONE ARE WE STILL HAVING FUN? Ready for another three (ahahahaha) weeks of this? GREAT! I know that obviously it’s not possible to gain any sort of accurate impression of This Fcuking World We Live In via the medium of spending all one’s waking time on the web, but,…

- Webcurios 10/04/20 - Reading Time: 37 minutes Ordinarily I don’t do these on Good Friday, what with the fact that, in my head at least, the only audience for Curios is people so terminally-bored at work that they’ll deign to read even this poorly-birthed mess of stuff if it means that the time in front of the Powerpoint will pass quicker. This year, though,…

- Webcurios 03/04/20 - Reading Time: 40 minutes Jesus, even by my standards that was a big one. I am spent – seriously, I have been typing almost solidly since 640am and my fingers and my back hurt and I can’t imagine for one second that any of you woke up this morning thinking “Yes, I really can’t wait to hear Matt’s tediously-cynical meanderings about…
