We had a moment...one of THOSE moments

So me and Emma are in the hunt for a House....or a house share even because its pretty much furnished already!


We find this one house that is FIT. so they invite us round to view the house, and to see if we were all compatible. We were so compatible it was like a balloon falling in love with a cactus. Or a racist life long Tottenham fan falling in love with Ashley Cole...its was not going to work.


However it wasn't always like this...we hit off with them...they liked beer and absinthe! And cooking ME dinner, and music, and art, and staying in at an evening playing board games, or gardening...(okay maybe we werent going to get on, but i saw the best in them)


So they take us on a tour...and as per usual im clowning about, and Emmas ringing off random shit facts about feinting goats, and docking sheeps tails etcetc...


I see a painting on the wall...its a bit shit, so i only assume a friend painted it for them.


So i make sensible conversation...


'WOW a painting! Did a friend paint you this?'


and the guy 'HENRY' replies


'No my ex girlfriend did....'


I go 'oh' and laugh as i turn my head to look at his girlfriend, who is standing next to him, to see her reaction.


There was no reaction! Bareing in mind they had lived at this house for 3 days and already he had spent some time hanging a canvas painting from his ex girlfriend on the wall!


Then he continued


'....but she died'



i again laugh nervously as it goes silent and everyone stares at me in front of the painting...waiting for my next words.


So i go...


'OHHHH....THATS NICE!'


Obviously the painting...not the ex girlfriend dieing!!! But worst of all i think she was only an 'ex' because she died!!! Once i'd realised that i just said 'THATS NICE' to his girlfriend dieing and then i noticed the silence...the really REALLY awkward silence. The next thing i did was see an airing cupboard door. So i went...


'okayyyyyyyyyy...ooooooooo whats in here!?', and stuck my head in there and waited and waited and waited for the next person to speak.


Henry then says...


'ITS A CUPBOARD AND YOU CAN OPEN THIS ONE AND I CAN SEE YOU THROUGH IT.'


As he is saying this i have my head in the cupboard pulling a 'nicola your a stupid STUPID bitch!' face...and then i slowly turn left and see Henry on the otherside, waving awkwardly at me, i wave awkwardly back at him, and pull my head out of the cupboard.



NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE DIDN'T GET THE FLAT SHARE.



But things are looking up...ish on the flat share front as a guy called



NAPOLEAN


thats is correct. NAPOLEAN. Needs some flat mates.


I can only assume it is THE Napolean.
