  • Webcurios 08/02/19 - Reading Time: 31 minutes They’re getting rid of all the self-harm stuff on Insta! That’ll sort out the growing feelings of fear, alienation, anxiety, rootlessness, despair, precariety, anomie, anhedonia, listlessness, loss and general fcuking confusion amongst the young, won’t it? I would make some sort of joke about bandaging an axewound but, well, I don’t want to give any…

  • Webcurios 01/02/19 - Reading Time: 32 minutes SO COLD. SO COLD. But no, it is not cold enough to go home from work, IT IS NEVER COLD ENOUGH TO STOP.  I’m late with this today, what with…well, what with having been a bit slow, in the main. Anyway, as a result you’re getting little in the way of preamble; instead, enjoy this…

  • Webcurios 25/01/19 - Reading Time: 30 minutes Welcome to a week in which it appears that literally everything that happens in the world now is the news equivalent of ‘The Dress’ or ‘Yanny vs Laurel’ – EVERYTHING IS BINARY AND NOTHING EXISTS BETWEEN TWO EXTREMES.  Or at least it is if you live on the internet – so, er, why not stop…

  • Webcurios 18/01/19 - Reading Time: 28 minutes You want a summary of the past week? Here you go. Listen, IT’S ALL TRUE.   Yes, whatever the opposite of perpetual motion is we in the UK seem to have invented and perfected it. What’s going to happen next week? What? Nothing meaningful, but an awful lot of pointless hot air and rhetoric? Nah, thanks…

  • Webcurios 11/01/19 - Reading Time: 32 minutes AND SO IT COMMENCES ANEW! The days and the nights and the work and the fear and the grind and the… NO! No more! ENOUGH! You don’t need this! It’s hard enough for you, isn’t it, with the glow of the holidays naught but a distant memory and the unwelcome return to wageslavery, without me…

  • Webcurios 14/12/18 - Reading Time: 11 minutes  YOU HAVE TO LAUGH, DON’T YOU, EH? EH??? You know what? Fcuk it, neither you nor I want to read anything about the news or the state of the world right now. It’s almost Christmas, and I am tired. I imagine you are too.  This is the last Web Curios of 2018 – in a rare…

  • Webcurios 07/12/18 - Reading Time: 34 minutes Is it all going to be over on Tuesday night? Is it? CAN WE FINALLY STOP TALKING ABOUT THE FCUKING B WORD ON TUESDAY NIGHT??? ‘No’ is the short answer, but let’s pretend we didn’t hear it and instead envisage a glorious future where I open next week’s final Curios of 2018 with some sort…

  • Webcurios 23/11/18 - Reading Time: < 1 minute Can we now officially call everyone who supports UKIP a racist, then? Is that OK? Good!  I can’t be bothered to get angry about politics today, it seems (more) futile (than normal). I’m also in a hurry, so by way of preamble let me point out that it’s getting very cold, that this country is…

  • Webcurios 16/11/18 - Reading Time: 2 minutes What is it about politics that attracts the world’s worst people? I mean, it’s true isn’t it – look at them this week, plotting and preening and self-regarding and mindwanking themselves raw on the power fantasies whilst only-just-metaphorically sh1tting all over us. Thanks, Conservatives! Thanks! Thanks everyone! I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this…
