@dilhanfernando I’ll be thinking of the great man and your family. You carry his spirit and values

At 6.32am tomorrow we mark 3 years since my father, Dilmah Founder Merrill J Fernando, passed away. My family’s loss is amplified by the world’s loss of a pragmatic and kind leader whose philosophy of kindness to people and nature resonates more strongly in our fractured present than ever before. This is my reminder of the value of that philosophy tinyurl.com/59p6sktj

Any other England fans still upset about the semi final? No idea how players must be One of highlights of this World Cup has been how good and enjoyable @RestIsFootball on Netflix with @GaryLineker and the gang

Thanks Josh x

Last night I went time travelling for my Monday night dinner as I was home alone... I saw it shimmering on the supermarket shelf, this 90s manna from the gods CHICKEN TONIGHT! It's still with us, the magical jar of grey. My 19 yr old daughter commented as I scanned a lone chicken breast and this jar of joy... "You're giving off major divorced dad vibes" Lets build a 90s Menu...

🔥 HOT WORLD CUP TAKE 🔥 Most "hot takes" are lukewarm at best I have an actual one after a long flight with too much time of my hands... Which member of Paw Patrol would've been a great striker and why

Three virgins and a microphone See ya America! We've got it from here

I’ve been back in the UK for a week seeing family and having meetings and count myself blessed to have been with the country at 1am watching the greatest England performance in my lifetime! We’ve shouted at our team over the years, sworn, despaired and vowed never again to believe this tournament will be any different but, I think I’d take all of that to watch THAT GOAT England performance Nothing on TV matches the sheer heart stopping drama of sport in moments like that 🦁🦁🦁👏👏👏

They should have a Legends World Cup for Middle aged former soccer gods.

The first review of my new book UNSCRIPT is in! Dr Amantha Imber — organisational psychologist, bestselling author, host of How I Work — read it and enjoyed it so much she genersouly left this review on Booktopia! I wrote a book that argues your magic is in the mess. The unpolished, unscripted, real bit of you. So to have someone read it and feel it — laugh, think, well up — that's the whole thing. That's the only review I was hoping for. UNSCRIPT: The Radical Act of Being Yourself. Out 29 July. If you pre-order you automatically get invited a special live You Tube show I'm doing, AT HOME WITH CHRISTIAN. Send your receipt to Christian@christianoconnell.com.au Its 20% off at @booktopia if you use BRIGHTSIDE20

what do you always see in every country pub? 1. One eyed very old dog 2. Mens toilets with a bust lock 3. Local sat at the bar who always says "Where you from then?"

@joshuacliston Thanks so much Josh, let me know what you think when you get it end July. email me direct, christian@christianoconnell.com.au

Pre-order complete for the @OC’s new audiobook 👌👌

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
