A COUPLE on a weekend in Spain are feigning interest in a boring old cathedral because it is too early to start drinking.
Nathan Muir and girlfriend Emma Bradford visited Segovia in Spain for a weekend of winter sun only to find it cold and raining, so visited the cathedral because Google suggested it, it was hard to miss and it would be dry inside.
Bradford said: “Apparently it’s one of the latest works of the Gothic style. I suppose the other must be Disintegration by The Cure.
“We bought tickets and shuffled around like everyone else, pretending to be amazed like they were at what’s basically a church like we’d drive past without a glance at home. There’s loads of stained glass. It shows religious stuff.
“Everyone else acted like it was the dog’s bollocks and I suppose we’ll do the same when we get back, because otherwise it’ll seem like we went away just to drink Cruzcampo and shag. I bet I’ll even end up recommending it.
“Still it was this or the gastronomic museum. F**king shit choice.”
Muir said: “Our flight’s not until half-five tomorrow, so we’re going to the Alcázar or some shit to do the whole fake admiration thing again. Next city break we’re having will be f**king Leeds.”
