- Webcurios 20/05/16 - Reading Time: 30 minutes Turns out Copenhagen is lovely, like some sort of LEGO model socialist utopia with lovely food and free, EU-funded coffee (HEAR THAT, BREXIT PEOPLE?). But I’m back now, and although we have a new mayor everything’s still pretty horrid, so what was the point of going on holiday anyway, eh? What? To give you a…

- Webcurios 06/05/16 - Reading Time: 26 minutes WE DONE A DEMOCRACY! Well done us. At the time of writing it’s still unclear whether London made the RIGHT choice in the Mayorals, but still, well done us on being bothered to take 10 minutes out of our day to contribute to the illusion of political choice (right, kids!). Of course, the Americans are…

- Webcurios 29/04/16 - Reading Time: 29 minutes In a week in which British politics has proven conclusively that we have little right to laugh at anyone else’s political goings on, and Syria continues to quietly, almost bashfully, get evermore banjaxed by the minute (BUT WE WON’T TAKE THE CHILDREN!), console yourselves with the fact that all of the UK’s media have been…

- Webcurios 22/04/16 - Reading Time: 30 minutes Jesus, would everybody please STOP DYING? What’s that? There is no divine power that either cares or listens to your pleas, and even if there were do you actually think that the answer to any of your selfish demands would be ‘yes’? Oh, ok, as you were then. So as another load of talented people…

- Webcurios 15/04/16 - Reading Time: 32 minutes In a week in which we have appear to have returned to the 1980s (Tory spanking scandal? Celebrities* all over the papers BUT ONLY THE FOREIGN ONES? We’ll all be doing cocaine and talking excitedly across each other nex…oh), it’s been cheering to see that the future is still happening, what with the whole SpaceX…

- Webcurios 08/04/16 - Reading Time: 33 minutes HELLO WE ARE BACK! That was a slightly longer break than planned, for which apologies – not that I imagined you noticed, though, what with all exciting events of the past few weeks. By ‘exciting’ I obviously mean ‘tremendously dispiriting’, but that’s sort of par for the course with THE MODERN WORLD. Which, frankly, is…

- Webcurios 18/03/16 - Reading Time: 25 minutes Did you hear that, young people? THAT WAS FOR YOU! Forget about the fact that you’re going to have to work until you’re in your 80s, that we’re bequeathing you a planet that is soon going to be banjaxed beyond all utility, that we’ve taken all the houses and that you can’t have any, that…

- Webcurios 04/03/16 - Reading Time: 29 minutes So this week it’s all been about FEAR! FEAR! SCAREMONGERING! FEAR! Without wishing to get bogged down in the minutiae of an already-tediously hyperbolic debate, I’m not sure that the ‘let’s stay in the EU’ side of the debate can really be said to be ‘fearmongering’ when you compare what they are saying to all…

- Webcurios 26/02/16 - Reading Time: 25 minutes Well, now we know. 4 months of tedium as a bunch of dullards attempt to convince a largely ambivalent electorate of the validity of their point of view – I thought we did this last year, but it turns out that referenda are even WORSE than general elections from the point of view of them…

- Webcurios 19/02/16 - Reading Time: 26 minutes HELLO AGAIN EVERYONE! Rejoice, for 2016 can finally properly begin – Web Curios is BACK FOR GOOD (barring additional holidays, sickness, a general continuation of the overall lack of anything resembling a regular audience for this, the publisher pulling the plug, death or serious illness, or just the eventual victory of the crushing sense of…
