What’s the best thing you’ve read this year ?

Really enjoying @RestIsFootball on Netflix. Men sat around a kitchen island giving insightful analysis with bold glasses of red wine on the go BUT, it’s killing me the cheese board is untouched There is no way six guys drinking and near a cheese board aren’t demolishing it Also, as part of the breakdown @GaryLineker should detail the wine being drunk and cheeses on display. Maybe cheeses of those countries being discussed

@matthammond9 82 went went out unbeaten ! That’s when the heartache began …

@OC Probably same as you, born in 71 but can only remember Spain 82

HOW MANY WORLD CUPS OLD ARE YOU? From the first one you watched I’m 12 World Cup old My first World Cup I watched was the 1982 World Cup in Spain. I was 9. Still remember being sat on the floor of our little front room, dad in his chair behind me, and seeing Bryan Robson score in the first 27 seconds of our opening game Against France! Think Paul Mariner scored next 12th world cup, Come on England x

@PatMcAfeeShow @USMNT @MikeGrella10 Pat! Is Mike in hiding there? In Trumps bunker ? Pat can we chat to you on my radio show ? We are live across Australia and I am a fan of your show. Don’t worry about Mike he’d put my listeners to sleep

"The @USMNT has more quality than Australia.. We're gonna see that on Friday" ~ @MikeGrella10 #PMSLive

@Reggie8jb Love it !

@OC flaming galah

AUSTRALIA! The Socceroos will beat Türkiye today. My shows World Cup Predicting Tigers, went for the Socceroos Enjoy the game #thirdeyeofthetiger

@Higgo74 Third Eye of The Tiger

The psychic tiger called it!! @OC

THE TIGER CALLED IT! #socceroos

The only Hollywood sequel we really need to see is to Charlie and The Chocolate Factory 2. Charlie Bucket in his 50s, with undoubtedly the biggest midlife crisis after running a f*****g chocolate factory since he was 10

@Pontifex Do you want to be in our World Cup sweep?

The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

@PaulTonkinson Yeah it’s such a joy and your years of stand up would have schooled you in the craft of it all. Like when a bit that’s kinda there just clicks

@OC Ha !!! I’ll read yours. I actually think they’ll be slight cross over themes. I love writing. The “ getting it right ..”

A box turned up today. I knew it was coming. Still wasn't ready for it. Three years of drafts, doubt, deleting whole chapters at 5am, and now it's a thing you can hold. To me, books are magical. UNSCRIPT. The radical act of being yourself. I'll tell you the truth. I sat on the couch and held it to my heart. That's where it came from. Out 29 July. Pre-order now Booktopia, use code BRIGHTSIDE20, get 20% off, and you go in the draw to come watch the show live and meet the team — my way of saying thank you to the people who got in early. AND! Pre-order + forward your receipt to christian@christianoconnell.com.au and you also get invited a special live YouTube Show I’m doing just for you, At Home with Christian

@PaulTonkinson thanks and just seen you've a new one! Book swap?

@OC Congratulations !!!!

What was in every school tuck shop ?

@foxinthebox2010 Great talent and show too. Not interested into being moulded into any one way in radio or life !

@OC Thought you were more in the Tommy Boyd mould. His human zoo was something else.

What a trailblazing show this was. Before I started in radio, this was my schooling in how a master like Danny can really play with radios possibilities

What are the best World Cup podcasts ?

@runner_scarlet @prodnose Yes!!!

@prodnose @OC Got to be done

Of course Australia has a goalkeeper called Pat BEACH

@CameronYardeJnr @jamiesont Yeah mine too. Ronnie Barkers comedic and dramatic genius

@OC @jamiesont It's my favourite British sitcom. So perfectly cast with all the characters with Ronnie Barker's magnificent performance at the head of it all. Clement & La Frenais wrote two perfect episodes 1 with the pilot then again with episode 1 proper.

Harry Grout only appeared in THREE episodes of the sitcom Porridge. THREE!
