Lovejoy throws a Mulligan

As many of you are doubtless aware, in the 6th series of Lovejoy there was an episode entitled "Fruit of the Desert" in which out titular hero bought some antiques from a retired diplomat, only to discover that the antiques were in fact stolen.

Lovejoy, as I'm sure you recall, had borrowed the money to acquire them from a dangerous loan shark using his daughters flat as collateral, and therefore had to find a way out of the debt. There was also some difficulty arising from his trademark philandering too if I recall correctly, the filthy swine.

Lovejoy's (Richard) Orcs & Goblins

Hello, Lovejoy here (Richard C - Orcs & Goblins).

There will now follow an at times discursive (some might say tedious) recap of my gaming history, so feel free to skip down to The Army section if you can feel your insides going grey at the prospect.

I have a few names online I suppose, but Lovejoy is my gaming moniker. It was chosen because of my fondness for the be-mulleted 1980s BBC TV character, a loveable, leather-jacket-wearing antique trader, rogue and philanderer. Ian McShane played the role, and Lovejoy was often portrayed sprinting across a bored housewife's lawn stuffing his manhood into his stonewashed jeans as a suspicious husband's range rover swept up the gravel drive, or else Lovejoy was passing off a fake Edwardian commode as genuine. I suppose the Lovejoy name is pretty relevant for me, as it says a lot about my nostalgic attitude to life as I get older. Like myself, Lovejoy delighted in old stuff which not all could appreciate. Like me, he was a collector of sorts, or at least an appreciator of beautiful objects. Like myself, the character was terminally stuck in the past. For me, it seems that my favorite stuff in life, as in gaming was better in the old days. The good stuff is largely old and gone, and I am given to misty eyed reminiscence over the past. Retro telly, music, and games - especially games...yes, I am Lovejoy. But I digress. Let's get on with it.
