I couldn't read Kahvi's wonderful Leave It To Spanners and not do this.
I don't like getting into Ace's head; I don't like the guy. ;) Concrit always welcome.
It follows:
Bongo.
Leave It To Spanners.

Dear lord, what had he been thinking?

Aww, thanks!

Yeah, Ace is full of himself, and he really does look down on his alternate self - who is him - rather a lot, doesn't he?

Follow up, up, up, and away!

Tangent - you know, I've been thinking about this ever since the first time I saw VII. Remember that scene in Dimension Jump when Arn and Lister are talking, and Arn asks how Lister would feel if there were a much better Lister in another dimension? And Lister says how happy he is for the Listers who are doing better, and how he doesn't begrudge them anything? Well, I just want to take that bit of tape and play it back for the Lister in VII, who is very annoyed (and constantly whinges about the fact) that there is a "much better Lister" that Kochanski thinks more highly of. Perfect parallel for the Ace that Arn thinks Lister thinks more highly of, isn't it?

Ah, well that's confidence and paranoia for you. Lister's confidence allows him to be happy that some Lister, somewhere, has Kochanski... But his paranoia sets in when it suddenly gets too close to home. Heh, that's my boy. Silly man...
