I can finally announce!
This Christmas Eve, 2:15pm, BBC Radio 4, a drama I've written - 'The Truth about Phyllis Twigg' - will inform, educate and entertain about the first ever radio drama! 103 years later to the day.
If you like this classy image, you should see our cast...

This is better than the time there were two copies of the same book on eBay, a (genuinely) signed one for 99p and an unsigned one for Β£8.99, making my signature worth minus eight quid.

Just seen there’s a signed copy of one of my books on eBay and it’s a forged signature. I am equal parts appalled and quietly thrilled.

About four different pronunciations of β€˜Liechtenstein’ so far. It’s not that hard ffs.

Commentator on the Liechtenstein v Wales game in Vaduz managing to mispronounce β€˜Liechtenstein’ and β€˜Vaduz’, so he’s clearly done his homework.

Reeling from the news that Todd Snider’s died. What a songwriter, performer and storyteller he was.

Ah, I know I'm back in Dublin when I get the penis seat on the Dart... There's been many a commute through the years where I've marvelled at the dedication it took someone to burn a penis onto the Dart wall.. One day penis Dart will be removed but that day is not today... #Dart #PublicTransport

Today's spent a few minutes prodding at it gingerly while looking slightly terrified until the drawer sprang open unexpectedly, firing the cup of tea she'd left in front of it straight into her midriff.

There is something vaguely comforting about how whenever I buy something in any Oxfam bookshop the cashier is always kindly and appears never to have seen a till before.
