Spike's "Can we rest now...can we rest...".
Teary now. I can still hear his voice in my head.
(That sounds creepy, doesn't it?)
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Children's song? Never heard of it. Enlighten me?
"With a roly-poly gammon and spinach, heigh-ho for Mister Rowley"
I think it's about a frog named Rowley trying to woo, um, Miss Mouse? Anyway, the cat eats them both up at the end. In grand English tradition, it will turn out to be allegorical for Oliver Cromwell, or something.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I liked it a lot, all the way through. The beginning, with that girl in Frankfurt--cool! I'm very interested to see where that's going. Then I liked Buffy/Dawn interaction (is there a better way to do that without the slash? 'cause, ugh), and Buffy/Dawn/Xander (ack!) were very cute, and Spike was great, and I loved how it all came together, with Anya, and then the scene when Spike stabs Ronnie and is horrified... um, yeah, I really liked this episode. Can I watch it again now?

In this particular context, it does rather.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Yes. The "Australian Version", oddly enough.
A frog he went a wooing-oh "Hey ho" sang Rowley For whether his mother would let him or no With a roly poly gammon and spinach "Hey ho" sang Anthony Rowley!
So, is gammon and spinach a common meal in Britain? Social/cultural connotations behind it?

In all the excitement about Buffy, I almost forgot that Australia got the first episode of The Office tonight. Oh yeah!

Not in my family. However, Google UK provides 21 hits, of which slightly less than half are the children's song.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Angus, I understand what you mean about the crying. Since I've been taking anti-depressants, I cry a lot less (belieive it or not) but when I watched Angel Season ! "I Will Remember You" I was just a wreck. I felt like Buffy in the "But theirs was a perfect love" sobbing episode. Was that Triangle?

Art Crawl!!!
So, "The Office" really is good? I've seen ads on BBC-America but none of them seemed funny. (Plus, lots of Thursday night conflict.)
