all curios

  • 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…

  • 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…
