I thought I’d give this a go, not that I’m much cop at satirical writing, but it sounded like fun. I rather like the whole dragon-slaying idea, so went with it. It’s a first draft and I’ve got 7 weeks to either forget about it completely, or touch it up (ooer- sounds a bit rude). [...]

Here is some very serious, heartfelt poetry. Don’t you dare laugh at this or belittle it in anyway because this took me fifteen minutes of my time to put together. You know what I could have been doing with those fifteen minutes? Yes, exactly! So you just watch it. Dave An ode to our Prime [...]

This was something I knocked together in a coffee break; I included Dan in it simply because he’s a friend, but I wouldn’t mind doing something similar with someone who doesn’t mind making a tit of himself on stage…Jim? The Incredibly Careless Brothers In Darwin Awards. (enter Esquire and Careless) Careless: Good evening Ladies and [...]

Branching out into new areas isn’t exactly something that has become synonymous with the name Scott Carless, I’ll freely admit I’m not the most adventurous individual in the world but nevertheless I did actually perform Stand Up comedy this Tuesday at the Wheatsheaf on High Street and I did actually get people laughing so I’m [...]

An excerpt from the radical new translation of Aeneid II by Scott Carless, with notes by the translator. 1. Dido, well up for it with Aeneas, flutters her eyelashes and gets the weary sod to recount how he and his fellow Trojans got done over by the Greeks, a bizarre woman really. Everyone shut the [...]

Throwing myself into a world of make believe, I’ve realised what was missing from my life all these years, Twin Peaks was what the sleepless nights were all about, the heartache and the feeling of existential angst.

I found this a source of great amusement as I flicked through a copy of ‘The Week’ magazine, for everyone’s benefit I have reproduced it in full. To Craiglist, the New York online messageboard. What am I doing wrong? I’m tired of beating around the bush. I’m a beautiful (spectactularly beautiful) 25-year old girl. I’m [...]

Here are some quotations from various people regarding the Daily Mail (please note these are not actually real) Al Gore: I used to worry about global warming…and Manbearpig; but ever since reading Richard Littlejohns column I’ve realised that global warming will kill people like him and so will Manbearpig, so its not all bad and [...]
