There were about 180 towers in Bologna in the 12th century. The tallest, 97 meters high, still stands.

Tomorrow is day one of 52 days of rugby. 😍
48 games. 20 countries.
I aim to watch every. Single. Game.
And post Gifs on each, if World Rugby permit it.
I. Can. Not. Wait. #RWC2023.

🥹🇦🇷 Paulo Dybala to @SofiMMartinez:
“When Montiel scores the penalty I run out to hug him and suddenly I saw Dibu who was alone.
And I said 'nah, I'm going to hug Dibu'.
He was the first one I hugged. We shouted 'WE ARE CHAMPIONS'”

I'll tell you one thing that won't help Mannie Libbok.
Is people having a pop before the RWC has even started.
He's an excellent 10.

May Sinead O’Connor rest in peace. Let me share my moment meeting this Great Women. I performed at the @MTV music awards crying singing band in the USA. When I got backstage, the first person to greet me was her, knowing the weight of the world was on me, fighting this fight for free speech and hip-hop. She hug me we talked. She told me I was fighting a good fight. She knew the industry was not supporting me. She wanted me to know she was. I always love that woman for that. May God bless her soul my condolences go out to her family. 🙏
