    My wife doesn't use Twitter (very sensible) so won't see this...but anyone who knows her, or has even met her for five minutes, also knows that when I married her, 25 years ago today, I got SERIOUSLY lucky. #PunchingAboveMyWeight

    SO excited about the year ahead. Loads of great stuff on the way to celebrate 20th book and 20 years of Tom Thorne in 2020. NONE of it possible without readers, of course, so thanks for everything, and a heartfelt and humongous happy new year to one and all. #2020

    Now that SAS TV show has started again, am swamped with tweets from folk who can't tell their Mark Billinghams apart. Please stop! I'm the weedy writer. Much as I enjoy being told I'm a "well hard geezer" and the "dog's bollocks" I was never in the SAS. #CouldHaveBeenThough

    Every night when getting ready for bed, I try to flick my underwear up with my foot and catch it on my head. I look for applause when I succeed. I am a grown man. #HelpMe #NotJustMeRight

    Ok, asking for a friend. Does ANYONE know of someone who charges their own family for Christmas lunch?? I’m talking about mother, sister, nieces, nephews. They are all CHARGED. £45 a head this year (up from £39 last year due to ‘inflation’). I’m gobsmacked. So, is this common?

    I know, horribly tossy to retweet, but look...it's in a frame and everything!
