I’m at the gym, limbs splayed akimbo, eyes full of sweat and tears, and I accidently clicked on Moose The Mooche’s avatar. Well call me surprise! cos I never realised there’s such a thing as a cover photo! Checking other avatars I see very few people have put one on their profile. And why would they? No one ever sees them. Because, that’s why! Moose, Disappointment Bob and Ruff Diamond are the only AWers I could find who have taken advantage of this hidden gallery (having posted photos of, respectively, Ena Sharples, Disappointment Bob and books or records or something). I’ve rectified my omission with a sexy pic (hope that’s allowed) and hereby invite everyone else to join in. Post your cover pics for the delight of no one ever!

I have one. It’s pretty dull though, flight cases on racking in the warehouse.
Gary says
I have to admit that is a dull choice, davebig, but what it lacks in outside appeal it makes up for in idiosyncrasy.
H.P. Saucecraft says
Do you often accidentally click on strangers’ avatars at the gym, Gary?
Gary says
The Mooche is hardly a stranger! More like a favourite Auntie, or a neighbour’s pet, or a much admired idiot savant.
But yes, I do.
H.P. Saucecraft says
I’ve just changed mine. Want a peek?
minibreakfast says
I can’t see the lips in question. Your mug is in the way.
bungliemutt says
It could have been worse.
Moose the Mooche says
Parrp!
Gary says
I could have sworn there was only one b in Gruebbersolvik.
H.P. Saucecraft says
You’re thinking of the Bad Teinach-Zavelstein Gruebersolviks.

I cannot tell you how long I laughed at this
Gary says
😉
H.P. Saucecraft says
We can guess, though. Pretty long.
Moose the Mooche says
Rama rama, hari rama….
minibreakfast says
I’ve got one too. It’s very exciting, as you can imagine.
Gary says
It’s of Ruff Diamond’s shelf!
Moose the Mooche says
*imagining*
Hurrrrrrrr
GCU Grey Area says
I’ve got one. ‘Dobbin’, the White Horse at Uffington.
Moose the Mooche says
I’ve always dreamed of Dub Side of The Moon-style album of XTC covers by Jamaican artists.
The title? Sensi’s Working Overtime.
H.P. Saucecraft says
Black Star Liner Sea
Gary says
Better that than the similar one of the chap with his male penis and its accompanying genitalia exposed.
Moose the Mooche says
The Cerne Abbas Giant, wielding his mighty club.
Moose the Mooche says
@gary – Accidentally?
The last pathetic excuse of the incorrigible stalker.
All you needed to do was ask.
*flutters eyelashes*
Gary says
Now you tell me! The money I could have saved on Private Detectives!
Deviant808 says
I just tried setting mine with the same image (a collage of favourite album covers) I use for Facebook etc, but it appears to have scrambled it a bit. Suspect the original was a bit small and the AW site has attempted to re-size it.
However it does now function as a rudimentary “How many of these distorted images can you identify?” type game if anyone’s really bored 🙂
Moose the Mooche says
Cor! Nowhere and PE? Where have you been all my life!
Deviant808 says
Gazing at my shoes while wearing a backwards baseball cap 🙂
Moose the Mooche says
Turn it up! Bring the feedback!
Kid Dynamite says
Big Black and Jets To Brazil. I knew there was a reason I liked you.
Deviant808 says
*hugs*
NigelT says
Just set one up…roughly A-C of the record cabinet!
Moose the Mooche says
I can see your Baccara!
duco01 says
Crikey – the Barron Knights are in there, too!
Moose the Mooche says
I see that on his enticingly-named Member’s Page Gary is now cradled in the the bosom of his* dream woman.

davebigpicture says
Brilliant!
mikethep says
I now have a wol, on my member’s page, flying straight at me. Went to a bird show at a wildlife park the other day. It’s a barking owl, moreover, so called because, well…
Moose the Mooche says
IT COULD ‘APPEN!
GCU Grey Area says
Two lines in this still used at Chateau Gris…
Moose the Mooche says
I’ve never forgotten this. Such a breath of fresh air.
“Bought a pair of trousers….”
H.P. Saucecraft says
What larks! Didn’t even know there was such a thing. There is now!
Gary says
Scottish people say “What ptarmigans!”.
hubert rawlinson says
A Scottish ptarmigan recently.
Lemonhope says
I’ve had one since I joined (wipes away tears of disappointment that I had to point that out…)
Gary says
And jolly lovely it is too.
H.P. Saucecraft says
Can I just break in here to compliment you on your nuanced curation of this piece, Gary?
Gary says
If only everyone had your good manners the world would be a nicer, safer place.
fatima Xberg says
You learn something every day on the Afterword.
Moose the Mooche says
Yes. I often log off at the end of the night on the Afterword and say, “Well, that’s taught me a lesson”
fatima Xberg says
…as the virgin said to the sailor.
minibreakfast says
Just changed both of mine.
Gary says
And jolly lovely
it isthey are too.hubert rawlinson says
Slow day at work for me.
minibreakfast says
Nice ass.
hubert rawlinson says
You smooth talker you.
Moose the Mooche says
You’re never gonna do it without the fez on.
bungliemutt says
Can you guess which one is me?
Moose the Mooche says
Didn’t I see you in the Blackstar video?
Arthur Cowslip says
Greetings from Novice’s Corner.
I can’t work out what you are all talking about. I’ve clicked all over the place but I can’t see anyone that has a background picture separate to their avatar picture.
Is this some big in-joke against me?
Gary says
Click on Bungliemutt’s name in the post above yours. You’ll see two pics, one of a dog and one of a scarecrow. The scarecrow is him.
Arthur Cowslip says
Ahaaaaaaaa!!!
Baron Counterpane says
Late as usual but I’ve had a go.
Lunaman says
This is fun – I didn’t know there was a cover pic. I’ve just added one. I recently came across a few pics of this day. Can you guess which one is me?
Gary says
Hat, sunglasses, plastic bag, glint in the eye, surly lips, devilishly attractive? Or the ugly one?
Moose the Mooche says
He’s actually the skinny wee feller on that album cover.
Lunaman says
lol – you got it (;
JustB says
Well I’ve had one for ages so NERRRR.
Gary says
Coulda told us!
duco01 says
I’ve now uploaded a cover image.
Don’t bother checking it out – it’s not very exciting.
Kid Dynamite says
looks somewhat geological?
bricameron says
Afternoon.
Gary says
Is that your house? Can I have it?
bricameron says
Have you got 2 million Canadian?
Gary says
That I have not. I used to have millions of Italian Lire, but I spent it all. On chocolate mostly.
H.P. Saucecraft says
Sure, the Human Bong is young, good-looking, rich and single – but can he curate a thread? Hah!
bricameron says
He could if he was awake at the same time as most everyone else was here.
Black Celebration says
A tripod from War of the Worlds going past the office I worked in in 1985. You don’t read about this sort of thing in MSM.
Gatz says
We’re all bound for Elsbels.
minibreakfast says
I see @tiggerlion has changed his avi to resemble the new UKIP logo….
Tiggerlion says
What’s UKIP?
Freddy Steady says
I am slightly confuse (d) . My photo has been out there for a while. An elderly gray haired drummer from a ever so slightly AC/DC copyist band from Switzerland. You don’t get it? Your loss.
minibreakfast says
Not your profile photo, your cover image. Yours is a blank grey rectangle currently.
Is that what you were going for?
Freddy Steady says
Oh. I did say I was confuse (d.) Not sure what the difference is between a cover image and profile photo. I’m a little over refreshed…..soz Mini!
minibreakfast says
I’ll explain it in the morning then. 😊
(I’ve sobered up.)
Moose the Mooche says
Not the first time you’ve said that, missus.
minibreakfast says
@freddy-steady
Morning Fred, how’s the head?
If you click on your name in blue (next to your avatar, or just here where I tagged you) it’ll take you to your personal homepage, where you’ll see your little grey haired man in a square against an equally grey rectangular backdrop. Clicking on Profile just below this, and then on Change Cover Image will give you the option to upload a pic to serve as the backdrop of your choice. Mine is a wall of jazz CDs in the wonderful Wells of Southwold, where I am NOT ALLOWED because it’s just too tempting.
Alternatively you can begin by clicking on your avatar found in the top right of every AW page, which will take you straight to your profile page, skipping the home page step.
Hope this helps.
Freddy Steady says
@minibreakfast
Thank you for this, if I can raise myself from my Saturday afternoon stupor I might have a look.
Love Southwold by the way. Grew up in East Anglia and stay in Southwold every new year when visiting my mum and dad who live in Beccles. Actually, we’d don’t stay right in Southwold as that would be financially ruinous but in Reydon and we stroll in and pretend we’re part of the Range Rover brigade of North London.
Always see signs for CD fairs just off the High Street but haven’t been allowed in yet.
Edit. The head’s fine ta…nice sauvignon blanc since you ask.
Moose the Mooche says
I’ve been playing with mine for over an hour. You might notice my General Dreedle has disappeared.
Gary says
You’ve taken away the one of Ena Sharples! I was rather fond of that.
(And who the feck’s General Dreedle?)
Moose the Mooche says
You’re a very weird person, Gary.
H.P. Saucecraft says
“I’ve been playing with mine for over an hour. You might notice my General Dreedle has disappeared.”
This is so very wrong, in so many ways.
mikethep says
She’ll bring him back.
mikethep says
Anyone know why imgur images aren’t appearing?

Here are all the link codes you can use with imgr. As you can see, none of them works.

Twang says
I’ve given up posting images since the demise of Photobucket. Imgur is useless.
H.P. Saucecraft says
I’m wondering if it’s now Blog Policy not to allow images in the comments?
