Heh. It's interesting to see how the other Listers would think of themselves, and also nice background on how that Lister ended up with Kochanski. Btw, I lurk around LJ a lot and I thought it was about time I actually commented. I've read most of your table, and I really like your style of writing. ;)

Woah.

I liked the detail about Ace building Jim and Bexley identical racecar beds. Ace would totally do that, and do it perfectly. What a guy. 9_9

I liked the melancholy here and the sense of the grass always being greener as a bit of a theme. Somewhere out there, that third class tech who did whatever he liked is being incredibly jealous of him, the family man who got to settle down with Krissie.

A Lister who has to shave, who can't have curries and Lager whenever he likes... it seems almost unnatural....

It kind of is, and Spanners feels that, on some level. It's a tradeoff. I do wonder if there has to be one...

Thanks for the feedback!
