- Webcurios 08/11/19 - Reading Time: 31 minutes You know what? I have to say, despite my initial reluctance and general distaste for the whole thing, I’ve quite enjoyed the first week of the election. Of course, it’s partly the novelty of it all, and the fact that it’s all still quite fresh (ignoring, of course, the fact we’ve basically been being campaigned at solidly…

- Webcurios 01/11/19 - Reading Time: 35 minutes HABEMAS ELECTIO! See, it sounds almost like a good thing if you imbue it with a bit of unnecessary papal glitz (or, depending on either your Catholicism or your vintage, make it read like a spell in Harry Potter)! Maybe it will all be FUN after all? It won’t though, will it? A few short days into…

- Webcurios 25/10/19 - Reading Time: 31 minutes On the one hand, no one wants an election (you may think you do, but you really don’t). On the other, THIS COULD BE OUR CHANCE TO ACTUALLY MAKE HIM THE LEAST-SUCCESSFUL PRIME MINISTER IN HISTORY. Of course, so doing would mean finding someone else worth voting for, which at the moment looks a touch…

- Webcurios 18/10/19 - Reading Time: 33 minutes HERE I AM HELLO! I was meant to be in Venice this weekend, but due to Circumstances Beyond My Control I am in fact NOT in Venice! I am in my kitchen!

- 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! You don’t have to feel guilty about deleting this email without even taking a cursory looking at its contents for a whole FORTNIGHT!) I am in a weirdly cheery mood. He’s fcuking…

- Webcurios 23/08/19 - Reading Time: 29 minutes Amidst all the triumphalism in the Tory press this morning, did anyone happen to notice Macron’s body language during their joint presser yesterday? There was a point when our glorious leader was lying through his teeth about the meaning of Merkel’s ’30 days’ line and Manu’s index finger was spasming so hard against the lectern…

- 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! Yes, OK, fine, it might be a little light on the miscellaneous links and videos this week, but I’ve made up for it…

- 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! In which every week you’re entitled to a surprise FREE GIFT of HORRORNEWS, which occasionally, as in weeks like…
