And he seems to be enjoying it!

Glad he took all recognisable features out of the photo. So another restaurant doesn’t get vandalised by TRAs.

He's been terfing for a while I think. I'm glad as he's a big sporting hero of mine.

I initially wondered why on earth he'd cut out the picture like that, but then gradually cottoned on that it was to avoid backlash for the venue. Which is shocking that it might be necessary, but I can well believe it is.

"If you're not in it you can't win it"
Hurray for Daley!

I had such a crush on Daley. I'm going to have to change the tense.

Regarding the table, do you think he read the thread on JKR's birthday cake and was worried about a FWR backlash for wrong bake?

GoatsareGOAT · 03/08/2023 23:56

He's been TERFing out for at least 4 years 😃

Or his whole life I suppose like most of us - we just didn't think knowing people can't change sex needed a label for most of that time!

Somanycats · 04/08/2023 00:01

Didn't he used to date the super terfy Sharron Davies back in the day?

TheCornflakeHotline · 04/08/2023 00:01

He dated Sharron Davies back in the day. Wonder if they're still mates?

TheCornflakeHotline · 04/08/2023 00:02

X post 😂

That 100m time of 10.45 would put him as 35th on the 2023 season's best so far for UK 100m sprinters. Don't know if that says more about DTs greatness or the current dearth of UK talent bar the top one or two.

They still are. He features in her book. He's an out and out terf.

Charley50 · 04/08/2023 00:33

He's a long-time Terf; took part in a Women's Place event with Sharron Davies a few years ago. He's also (still) extremely hot, and I rarely fancy anyone.

IcakethereforeIam · 04/08/2023 00:34

He was a decathlete, wasn't he? 35th is bloody impressive. Does that include all the sprinters too?

TangledRoots · 04/08/2023 00:36

I always liked that he did decathlon - it’s a ‘proper’ Ancient Greek Olympian thing.

WookeyHole · 04/08/2023 00:36

When British Rowing launched their (now freshly rescinded) trans competitors policy, he said on Twitter he would fund any female wanting to legally challenge it. I've followed him ever since.

littlbrowndog · 04/08/2023 00:37

He was a dechathlete and has been supporting Sharron Davies for ages

littlbrowndog · 04/08/2023 00:38

Decathlete

RoseslnTheHospital · 04/08/2023 00:39

@IcakethereforeIam that is the current UK mens 100m sprinters, not the decathletes! He was an incredible athlete across all the 10 disciplines.

I find it shocking that he’s had to delete his surroundings so the restaurant doesn’t get trashed.

Love love love love love
I have such admiration for the men who are willing to put themselves out there like this. He was a hero of mine in the 80s. So glad he still is.

It is horrendous that we have reached this point. As a Jewish woman I grew feeling that antisemitism and misogyny were in the past. The last 10-20 years has made me realise how naive I was.

JFDIYOLO · 04/08/2023 01:03

Ooh Daley Thompson 😍 And just one more reason to 😍 him.

HermioneKipper · 04/08/2023 01:10

I love this! Who else is at his lunch?

Sugarfree23 · 04/08/2023 01:13

I think he's been supporting Sharron Davies for a while

Who else is going to fess up to owning or playing Daley Thompson's Decathlon?

FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper · 04/08/2023 01:18

Yes, and it's very much a "Hold my beer!" sport!!

"Ah, you came top in your discipline? Well done! Oh, me? Erm, yeah, I won in mine, too... all ten of them, actually..."

There couldn't be a more massive gulf in outlook on this issue between the two British Olympians called Daley, could there?!
