- Webcurios 10/01/20 - Reading Time: 35 minutes HELLO! HI! Christ, er, writing this newsletter is HARD WORK, turns out, My tendons are all aflame and I feel like…well, like I’ve just spent the past six and half hours typing near-solidly with only occasional breaks for tea (oh, and urine; it’s not like I catheterise, I’m not that dedicated), which is about as delightful as…

- Webcurios 06/12/19 - Reading Time: 34 minutes There’s something I need to tell you. It might come as something of a blow. You may want to sit down. WELCOME TO THE FINAL WEB CURIOS OF THE YEAR AND IN FACT OF THE DECADE! Yes, that’s right – I would ordinarily do another one next week before turning off the internet for Christmas,…

- Webcurios 29/11/19 - Reading Time: 30 minutes It’ll all be over in two weeks, just think of that. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NO IT WON’T THIS IS JUST WHAT LIFE IS LIKE ON THE ISLAND FOREVER!!! How much more election do you think we’d able to take before we all collectively decided that normal social mores no longer applied, that the rule of law could…

- Webcurios 22/11/19 - Reading Time: 31 minutes 20 days left. 20 days. At least there’s one less ‘leader’s’ ‘debate’ to get through (both those words doing an AWFUL lot of heavy lifting this week), but otherwise this week’s been largely free of positives. Although I did meet a friend who’s standing as an MP (no, I don’t understand either) and got to…

- Webcurios 15/11/19 - Reading Time: 32 minutes HI EVERYONE! An extra special HELLO to any of you who are reading this for the first time, having taken the ill-advised decision to sign up to this as a result to me telling you to at the end of a lecture! It’s been…well, it’s been another week, frankly, and that’s the best I can…

- 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! Radio4 is on! I have been typing for approximately 6 straight hours and my fingers hurt! I should be heading towards art and culture…

- 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…
