One day - and then I'll come and haunt you.

Then I'll just have to be naked all of the time.

Actually maybe I already have done.

That's not called haunting Dave. It's called breaking and entering.

Well Aaron didn't complain. Maybe I wasn't stiff enough for him and that's why he wants me to die.

Awful, dreary, depressing song.

Yes!! I've never understood the British obsession with dreary music.

I like "Half A World Away". But then I love depressing music of every description, from Leonard Cohen to Syd Barrett to The Smiths to Johnny Cash with a special mention for the awesome Tom Waits.

Depressing music like the artists you mentioned is almost infinitely better than shiny, happy music. Give me 'I Know It's Over' by The Smiths any day!

Conor Oberst has written some really depressing songs too and in my opinion he's one of the best songwriters around at the moment, Bright Eyes are fantastic.

Ah I love Bright Eyes. They wouldn't be the same if the songs weren't depressing.

Ah I love Bright Eyes.

But it was quite sad when we thought Hazel was dying...

I think Watership Down will still make me cry when I'm in my thirties.

Bright eyes burning like fire!
How can the fire that burns so brightly, suddenly burn so pale, Bright eyes!

Sounds a bit shit.

I never saw it. I keep trying to read the book but always get bored 25% through the book.

We studied it in year 5 (dunno how that equates to your years) at school. And pretty much the same. It was so dull. Bravo for making it as far as 25% though! I remember nothing about it. At all.
