That's the trouble with p**tob*ck*t,ade. I mean, terrific service and all that, but suppose, for example[/i] I wanted to host this tasteful, randomly selected cover from those lovely people at Robinsons, the home of the brilliant VFM Mammoth Books! What's the betting I'd get .... ... even though, in this instance, it is actually an arse? Nudity, KC. They just don't like it one bit! But you're safe with stuff like:

Nothing to offend here! Weird how long it took Tim to take on this kind of job.

Christopher Wood wrote the first Confessions as a bet over a weekend. By the time he'd finished the series (and the James Bond films) he pretty much didn't need to work again.
But you all knew that already, didn't you?

But you all knew that already, didn't you? I hope you're not implying that Timothy Lea wasn't real, John... I've just about come to terms with the idea that there's no God, and little tangible evidence for the existence of Father Christmas, but no Timmy Lea? I'm not sure I can go on...

Weird how long it took Tim to take on this kind of job. Or this one... And talking of privates... And who could possibly take offence at this fine example of British workmanship... Hosted by imagehosting.com (let's see how long they last).

Ooh er! Not seen that Milkman effort before. We never did find out the photographer(s) as far as I can remember?
I wonder if we have enough Globeswatcher's left to have a Favourite Confessions cover poll - there's only one way to find out, I guess ......

That Long Distance Lorry Driver cover is priceless! Were flat caps and string vests ever considered 'saucy'? Nice to see a 'Jonathan May' Confession making an appearance (as if I needed an excuse to post more of these)... That one for Shop Assistant is quite clever how you can see him unhooking her bra in the mirror, isn't it? I mean relatively... I'm really not sure if anyone could get away with Confessions of a Games Master these days. Just wrong? On any number of levels I'd have thought. Nice to see a couple of Rosie Dixon's 'titles' as well. I mean, it stops this thread from being open to any accusations of sexism if it includes a woman's viewpoint, doesn't it? I do feel it's important, like Rosie in the photo above, to try and maintain a bit of balance.

It doesn't if they're actually written by a man. (Oh sh*t, what a giveaway). It's a shame that Jonathan May mutated from being a reasonable facsimile of Timothy Lea into that weaselly faced bloke. I'm very tempted to post the cover of Confessions From A Strip Club by Mr May but I'm worried that A) It would make Photobucket (or indeed any image hosting site) explode, and B) put anyone seeing it off sex for life.

This is going to sound rather sad but I remember seeing these covers and at the time didn't notice where these phallic symbols were pointing.
I prefer the spaceman cover as that is clearly the same ladder used in confessions of a painter and decorator
