Olympics: Bromance

Presented without comment.

Olympics: Diving News

It really is tragic I only know the name of divers.

Anyway, well done Chris and Jack (who's a bit plain, tbh).

Now onto the golf!

PS...

 

Mail Online.

Despite?

AND men! 

Mirror.

Can women wear Speedos?

Maybe on the libertine French Riviera, I guess.

I bet Miss Daley's FEWMING *

* In Chris Mears' GT interview he basically outed Tom Daley by saying he'd met so many lovely gay men via him. LOL etc.

Tom Daley: Against Empire

Our Tom is in Russia right now.

Here he is pictured in the Kremlin with Chris Mears and the other one (Jack?).

This is a clear two-fingers to Nato and American empire, and all the right-wing gayers (and anti-gayers!) who've called for a boycott of Russia.

Well done Tom.

PS And here she is outside St Basil's cathedral (clearly mocking the dimwitted Tilda Swinton).

Hey, Dustin's not with you, Tom, I see. Hmm...

Tom returns to the Motherland in July to compete in the FINA World Championships in Kazan. *

Good luck, babes! x

* But can he be??? Fagburn seems to remember reading last year Tom was boycotting Russia cos anti-gay fascism.

Update: Tom, Russia, Gays and Stupidity, a great piece by Eruestan Brethil.

Attitude: Sex

Fagburn sees the new SEX issue of Attitude also features lots of naked dudes in a badly photoshopped STRETCHED nightmare, inc. Chris Mears in his pants. 

One may presume the usually obligatory 'TOWIE hunk Dan Osborne!' was busy.

And 'SEXY Ben Cohen!' was busy counting his money.

GT Naked Issue: A Few Questions

Who on Earth and the many moons of Jupiter is this?

That beard - WTF?

Why is he trying to climb up a stepladder the wrong way round in the nud?

PS Please can you send me a free GIANT Chris Mears poster?

Tom Daley: Missing In Action

There were disappointed faces all round when Olympian Tom Daley left Clare Balding high and dry after pulling out of her debut BT Sport chat show last min.

The diver and telly fave, 20, had been booked months in advance as her star guest for the first ever recording of the programme on Tuesday.

The reason for Tom’s absence on The Clare Balding Show, which airs tomorrow, hasn’t been revealed and emails to the youngster’s reps went unanswered.

But it comes after Tom has been enjoying a well earned break in Berlin with boyfriend Dustin Lance Black, 40, after winning a gold and a silver medal at Glasgow’s Commonwealth Games earlier this month.

Tom had been widely advertised as a main attraction and a big draw for potential audience members, but cancelled the appearance last week – rescheduling for October.

Swimmer Chris Mears had to step in as replacement.

Daily Mirror.

Oh Tom, what have you done now?

What could you and Lance have possibly found to distract you in sleepy old Berlin town?

I knew this would happen - you're about to do a full-on Justin 'Good boy gone bad' Bieber, aren't you?

He's led you astray!

It'll probably be heroin next.

Then the leaked sex tape.

There is clearly nothing else for it... 

YOU MUST LEAVE DUSTIN LANCE BLACK IMMEDIATELY!!!

The ageing svengali casts his evil voodoo spell again!

Sports: Diving

Don't forget it's the men's diving today in the Commonwealth Games.
Thankfully these cheating American whores can't take part.
#ComeOnTom!

Commonwealth Games: The Excitement Mounts!

Best of luck to all taking part, especially the plucky contestants from our colonies.

The Opening Ceremony looks first-rate.

John Barrowman hosts - let's hope he remembers to talk in his Scottish accent today.

The Krankies, Lulu and Andy Stewart headline [All STC].

Oh look! Saint Peter wants 42 of the 53 member states taking part to be banned from the games. 

But why stop there, Pete?

Why not ban 'em all?

Or boycott all countries without a 100% perfect human rights record?

That'll learn 'em.

I take it you are inspired by America's incredibly effective boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics, yes?

Anyway, here's the important bit - THE MEN'S DIVING SCHEDULE!!! (It doesn't start til next Wednesday. BOO!).

PS The Advocate have spotted a new diving talent... Jack Laughter!

Tom Daley: Personal Best

Tom Daley won silver for Great Britain in the men's 10m platform at the World Series event in Mexico.

The 20-year-old, coached by Jane Figueiredo, recorded a personal best of 577.20 points as he finished second to China's Qiu Bo, who won with 583.95.

"Silver! And a new personal best score! So happy all my hard work is paying off! Massive thanks to my coach Jane," Daley wrote on Twitter.

Fellow Briton Sarah Barrow finished sixth in the women's 10m platform.

Britain's Jack Laugher won bronze in the men's 3m springboard on Saturday, after clinching silver alongside Chris Mears in the 3m springboard synchronised the previous day.

The event, in Monterrey, was the final leg of this year's World Series.

BBC Sport.

Well done lads - every fag's favourite freesome!

Just screamed in the middle of my own film Q&A! Congrats @TomDaley1994 on a new PB and the #SilverMedal. ❤️U

Winq: Another Gay Magazine

As we unveil the all new Winq, the luxury lifestyle magazine for gay men, we do so in good company, with an array of launch advertisers that includes the British Government’s GREAT campaign.

Winq’s premium positioning has seen a number of companies advertising in the sector for the first time, attracted by an environment that better reflects their brands and products.

Among launch advertisers producing tailored copy for the new gay title are long-term LGBT supporters Virgin Holidays, Air France KLM commuter service CityJet and even the archetypal traditional car manufacturer, the Morgan Motor Company.

Most notable of all, though, is the British Government’s GREAT Campaign, which has adapted its hugely successful GREAT Britain work, more normally devoted to extolling the virtues of the country’s manufacturing or business credentials abroad, to focus on the achievement that is equal marriage...

Blurb on Winq's website.

Best of luck to them, but Fagburn suspects he may not be part of the target demographic for this "luxury lifestyle magazine for gay men".

Now, like any other corporation, they have a product which they sell to a market. The market is advertisers - that is, other businesses. What keeps the media functioning is not the audience. They make money from their advertisers. And remember, we're talking about the elite media. So they're trying to sell a good product, a product which raises advertising rates. And ask your friends in the advertising industry. That means that they want to adjust their audience to the more elite and affluent audience. That raises advertising rates. So what you have is institutions, corporations, big corporations, that are selling relatively privileged audiences to other businesses.

Well, what point of view would you expect to come out of this? I mean without any further assumptions, what you'd predict is that what comes out is a picture of the world, a perception of the world, that satisfies the needs and the interests and the perceptions of the sellers, the buyers and the product.

Noam Chomsky.

Jack Laugher: Straight Like Daley

HERE’S British Olympic diver JACK LAUGHER following in the footsteps of his best friend TOM DALEY – by stripping off for a gay mag.
In a revealing interview in this month’s GT magazine, the hunk sets straight rumours he’s gay but says sportsmen should feel comfortable to come out.
He says: “Everyone should feel comfortable to be gay and be who they are. With diving it doesn’t really matter – you’ve got the middle-aged women and young girls anyway, and then gay men.
“That’s the entire fan base, and that following would be supportive.”
On close pal Tom’s heart-throb status, he adds: “Tom Daley is nice and tanned, and that draws in quite a big gay following.
“Tom’s poses are pretty questionable though!”

The Sun. 

Erm, "the hunk sets straight rumours he’s gay but..."

That's gobbledegook, love.

So is she or isn't he?

Had to check what this meant.

I am told by an insider; "No, he's not gay at all - his girlfriend was at the shoot."

Phew!

And I think if "his best friend TOM DALEY had stripped for a gay mag", Fagburn would have heard about that.
Still, now that GT has had both Chris Mears and Jack as their gorgeous pouting coverboys, surely it can't be long before they get our Tom to reveal all, too?

Tom Daley: Attention Sports Fans!!!

Well, I don't care know about you, but I've been gagging for some good news of late.
So - at last - here is some.
TOM DALEY IS DOING SOME DIVING THIS WEEKEND!
That's right, fellow watersports fans - tomorrow begins something called the FINA/MIDEA Diving World Series 2013 in Edinburgh.
It's pretty important, apparently.
Our Tom is competing.
And so is Chris Mears.
Sadly not together, though.
Here is the schedule.
It's on Sky Sports, and may be streamed online.
I can't figure that bit out.
It's all a bit complicated - I don't know how straight men cope with this whole "watching the sports" thing.
Anyway... enjoy! 

Update: An hilariously and clueless, sexist article in The Guardian; 'Tom Daley transforms diving as girls go wild for their heart-throb'. 
Reader comment; "Something tells me a lot of girls are going to be left very disappointed."
Compare and contrast to, say, the Sunday Herald; "A combination of world-class diving prowess and GQ cover star looks has guaranteed that, wherever Daley goes, he is the main attraction. His life exists in a perpetual goldfish bowl: while teenage girls swoon over him, he has garnered a burgeoning gay fanbase, as well as a legion of adoring grannies who want to pinch his cheek."

Update: The Daily Mail is thrilled to report Tom has been seen in public with a young woman called Lemon. It must be love!

Charity: Chris Mears' Bum For Sale

GT - the magazine formerly known as Gay Times - is selling signed copies of photos from its last Naked issue on ebay.
Obviously I don't approve of this sort of thing, but it's for charity*, innit.
And, you know, Chris Mears.
Oh dear.
Oh dear, oh dear...

* Good for you, but I'm sure there are many gay charities, support organisations etc more in need of money than the THT...

Chris Mears: IN GT OMG!!!

Goodness me!
I haven't seen a copy yet, so have absolutely no idea what the delicious Chris says - or if he talks about "that" or "him" - but golly gosh, crumbs and crikey, this is exciting enough for me for now anyway.
On sale next week in all good, middling and so-so newsagents and from your local seedy filth emporium - though hopefully someone will thrust one through my letterbox.
Think I need a lie down now...

PS Future cover star for the next GT Naked issue? 

PPS Okay, so I've complained about fag mags' Naked issues before, but this is the Divine Miss M... So do one! 
If you want consistency buy ready-made Bird's Custard.

Fagburn: Apology Accepted

Fagburn is unwell, but will be back when he feels less mental.

Good day.
