- Webcurios 13/07/18 - Reading Time: 29 minutes Oh Christ. What a MESS. Look, let’s focus on the positives – the kids got rescued! What else? Eh? Oh. Sorry everyone, I have literally NOTHING else today – it’s all just TOO MUCH (and I have a lunch to get to, then theatre with a godchild, and then dinner with my girlfriend and then…

- Webcurios 15/06/18 - Reading Time: 31 minutes Another BIG step towards full dystopia this week – you don’t need me to list all the reasons, but my favourite “Christ, we really are living in a poorly-crafted miserable future novel from the mid-1990s” moment came with this Twitter thread which, amidst all the furore over Don’n’Kim, really is worth reading. Otherwise though it’s been more…

- Webcurios 08/06/18 - Reading Time: 26 minutes HAHAHA BORIS! HAHAHAHA DAVID! HAHAHAHA ISN’T IT FUNNY! ALL THIS INCOMPETENCE AND INFIGHTING AND BACKSTABBING AND MACHINATING AND No, it’s not, is it, really? It’s boring and tedious and childish. WHY IS EVERYONE – AND I MEAN SEEMINGLY EVERYONE, GLOBALLY – WHO PURSUES POLITICAL OFFICE SUCH A COMPLETE FCUKING CNUT? I mean, it’s a rhetorical…

- Webcurios 01/06/18 - Reading Time: 28 minutes Even by the standards of 2018, this has been an absolute ROLLERCOASTER of a week. A Government falls in Spain, one stumbles and maybe gets back on its feet in Italy (but if it makes it to Christmas I will personally be AMAZED), Don met Kim, a Ukrainian journalist came back from the dead, and…

- Webcurios 11/05/18 - Reading Time: 30 minutes I went to the seaside last weekend. It was LOVELY, apart from the racist graffiti (residents of Broadstairs – you’re right, it is OK to be white, and literally NOONE is attempting to tell you otherwise! I promise! Also, looking around, I’m not 100% convinced that it’s you who need to worry about being unwelcome) and the…

- Webcurios 04/05/18 - Reading Time: 10 minutes HELLO AGAIN EVERYONE! After a brief hiatus born of my having the selfish temerity to step away from the web for a long weekend – did you take care of it? is it ok? I worry, you know – Web Curios is back, ready to almost immediately clock off again as we look forward to celebrating…

- Webcurios 02/03/18 - Reading Time: 28 minutes I AM SO CHAPPED! SO CHAPPED! I appreciate that it’s pretty low down on the list of legitimate reasons to moan, but seriously, you really don’t want to see my smile right now (plus ca change, eh?) (SO MUCH BLOOD!). Have you been toboganning? Have you thrown a snowball? Have you, at the very least,…

- Webcurios 23/02/18 - Reading Time: 26 minutes Even by the standards of a pretty fcuking febrile 2018, this one’s been a doozy. Things I have seen or heard about this week, and this is just a small selection – teachers should have guns, we’re letting Assad getting away with (lots of murder), Jezzus is a spy, Jezzus isn’t a spy, Darpa want to weaponise…

- Webcurios 02/02/18 - Reading Time: 27 minutes Crikey. For reasons you really don’t want to know about but which can accurately be explained by the first picture in this week’s Curios I am slightly up against it this week, timings and deadlines wise. So that means NO TIME to say a super-special HELLO to all the people who might have come here…

- Webcurios 26/01/18 - Reading Time: 30 minutes Whilst ordinarily following a week like that we’ve just seen I’d be fully entitled to go FULL DYSTOPIAN HOWL, you’re spared that specific horror this week – so you’ll have to imagine all my white-hot takes on the Presidents Club and the rest, as I am running LATE. That said, for the few new people…
