  • Webcurios 04/10/19 - Reading Time: 33 minutes HELLO EVERYONE! What’s happening? Does anyone have any idea? No? GREAT! For once, though, I genuinely don’t care. I am about to embark upon a disgustingly lavish weekend of eating and drinking with my girlfriend, and, frankly, everything other than food, booze and the happy functioning of my gastrointestinal tract can get royally fcuked until…

  • Webcurios 27/09/19 - Reading Time: 28 minutes HELLO I AM BACK MY GOD I HAVE MISSED YOU! I went to Spain! I saw some sun! I met an Australian millionaire who was responsible for coating one of Perth’s major roads with 1000 litres of concentrated sulphuric acid a few years back! I saw young women who’d had such aggressive lip-fillers that they…

  • Webcurios 06/09/19 - Reading Time: 27 minutes HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I wasn’t expecting this, I have to say, but as I prepare to take two weeks off (yes, that’s right, I’m AWAY!

  • Webcurios 16/08/19 - Reading Time: 30 minutes HI EVERYONE! I MADE IT! Yes, despite having only had three days in which to scarf down all of the week’s internet, I have somehow managed to curl out an almost-fully-formed Curios this week!

  • Webcurios 09/08/19 - Reading Time: 30 minutes HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE! What’s that? It’s not a happy Friday? You feel strangely anxious about the state of, well, everything, and it feels ever-so-slightly like things might be becoming, well, perhaps a tiny bit much? WELCOME TO THE MODERNITY CLUB!

  • Webcurios 02/08/19 - Reading Time: 33 minutes A majority of one! It could all fall apart within weeks! PLEASE GOD LET IT ALL FALL APART! It almost certainly won’t, of course, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t all pray fervently just in case there is a God – if there is, they’re definitely not a Tory.  Anyway, I usually use this preamble to complain…
