- 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…

- Webcurios 08/12/17 - Reading Time: 24 minutes So, how was it for you? As you peeled the crusted lids from each other at the alarm’s insistence this morning, gingerly ran the cracked, dried sponge of your dessicated tongue over the crenellated horrors that your lips seemed to have become, tentatively explored your nostrils to dislodge the lignocaine rocks obstructing the airflow, and…

- Webcurios 24/11/17 - Reading Time: 23 minutes Gah! So much to do, so little time! This intro is necessarily going to be on the short side as I have STUFF to be getting on with and to be honest I imagine that most of you are going to be far too busy buying VAST QUANTITIES OF STUFF to be bothered with links…

- Webcurios 17/11/17 - Reading Time: 28 minutes Russia! Sexpests! Brexit! Mugabe! And that’s just the past 6 hours I’ve been writing this damn thing. Web Curios may take a week off but the world certainly doesn’t, as evidenced by the absolute tsunami of links about to engulf you. I am tired, you are tired, we are ALL tired. As we limp towards…

- Webcurios 08/09/17 - Reading Time: 28 minutes One of the unfortunate side-effects of the filter bubble in which I find myself is that I’ve notmanaged to stumble across any examples of right-wing climate change deniers desperately attempting to explain away the BIG WEATHER in terms that don’t involve, you know, ACCEPTED SCIENCE. Still, it’s good to know that there’s a positive side-effect…

- Webcurios 01/09/17 - Reading Time: 27 minutes Mist! Mellow fruitfulness! Decay, rot, dampness and the annual reminder that everything tends towards entropy and entropy means, biologically speaking, death! That’s right everyone, it’s SEPTEMBER! I mean, the seasons are all so banjaxed with climate change that this is sort of meaningless, but I though I might wax lyrical at the advent of the…

- Webcurios 25/08/17 - Reading Time: 26 minutes There was meant to be one of these last week. I had dragged myself from my pit at 6am as per normal, drunk unconscionable quantities of appallingly-stewed tea and spaffed out about 6,500 words before a stray swipe of a sausagefinger on trackpad condemned each and every single one of those words – and they…

- Webcurios 11/08/17 - Reading Time: 30 minutes There was meant to be a Curios last week, but I had to go to a wedding. Sorry about that. Also, if I’m entirely honest, there was going to be one until I fcuked up the CMS and lost 4000 words of TOP QUALITY PROSE and was too dispirited to contemplate starting again. So it goes. Anyway,…

- Webcurios 28/07/17 - Reading Time: 24 minutes In a largely unanticipated development this week, the discovery by the idiot rump of the world that moral philosophy is A Thing and that it is HARD and COMPLICATED has made me almost wish for the return of politics, not to mention making me agree with Melanie Phillips. UNPRECENDENTED. Anyway, that was the week that was…
