personal info

Dave Lister wasn't exactly cut out for space travel. The street smart gimboid's academic career reached the giddy heights of ninety-seven minutes at art college. Lister left when he found out there were lectures - first thing in the afternoon - and after 3,000,000 years in stasis, work is still a four-letter word.
For Lister, life on the Red Dwarf Mining Ship is spent salvaging space wrecks, playing poker and eating curry - without much salvaging. Lister hates Rimmer, but it's driving the supercilious hologram nuts that keeps him sane. Over the years, Lister has emerged as the good guy of Red Dwarf. Perhaps that's why he has ceased to worry about his appearance. As the ship has travelled deeper into space, Lister's original issue fatigues have been superseded by the scuzziest sartorial off-cuts in the universe. On important occasions Lister wears his special T-shirt - the one with only two curry stains - and boxer-shorts that actually blend.
