Dave met Hayley when he was in his band, Smeg and the Heads. She worked in the bank where he had his account, which was always overdrawn. She started to date Lister and the two of them would spend saturdays in bed watching zero-G football and eating curry. She was the first person who had ever mentioned the expression "The real McCoy" to him and scrunched up her nose when she told him a story. He found it really cute.
