- Webcurios 29/03/19 - Reading Time: 33 minutes So THIS is what control feels like! How novel, at yet simultaneously how utterly familiar! Yes, that’s right, it’s BREXIT DAY, on which we are all honour-bound to paint our faces with the cross of St George and to drink pints of warm bitter until the blood vessels in our faces burst with happy pride…

- Webcurios 22/03/19 - Reading Time: 29 minutes ONE WEEK TO GO! OR NOT! As Schrodinger’s Brexit sits patiently in its box, we anxiously await the big reveal. Is it alive? Is it dead? IS IT IN FACT WE WHO ARE DEAD, KILLED BY TERMINAL BOREDOM? Obviously that’s all rhetorical – I have no idea! Neither do you! Neither does anyone else! Watching…

- Webcurios 15/03/19 - Reading Time: 32 minutes I had a whole thing ready to go in my head last night about TWO WEEKS TO GO and all that jazz, but a) I was quite stoned and so it was almost certainly awful; and b) the news this morning was so horrific that I don’t really feel in the mood for making funnies…

- Webcurios 08/03/19 - Reading Time: 31 minutes What’s been YOUR favourite stupid this week? SO MUCH TO CHOOSE FROM! It’s nice of the powers that be to ensure that the ‘Brexit’ box set we’ve all been enjoying for the past couple of years doesn’t peter out towards its denouement – though does anyone else get the feeling that, muchlike in Lost, the…

- Webcurios 01/03/19 - Reading Time: 31 minutes First up, an apology from me to you for screwing up the html quite so spectacularly last week; hopefully this week the links should work and the words should be readable and the only issues you ought to encounter are the ones born of authorial inadequacy rather than the peculiar strain of CMS-luddism I appear…

- Webcurios 22/02/19 - Reading Time: 21 minutes A NEW PARTY! JUST WHAT WE ALL WANTED! Except it’s not the good sort of party, the type with party rings and sausage rolls and a secret stash of uppers that you find at 3am in the host’s sock drawer and which you know will add a whole new spin to the gathering – no,…

- Webcurios 15/02/19 - Reading Time: 32 minutes OH GOD THERE IS A NEW NEWSLETTER CMS AND I DON’T UNDERSTAND IT AND I AM LATE AND HAVE A MEETING IN 90 MINUTES AND I AM STILL IN MY PANTS (little peek behind the authorial curtain for you there, you’re welcome). I have to run – you take care of all the links and…

- 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.
