Slightly excited - Derry Girls is back this week

[Eve]

Starts Tues 5th.

Looks like it’s set in the 1990s this time.

Do protestants really keep Toasters in the cupboard?

I do

Oh how good was Sister Michael and her prodestant counterpart both as fed up as each other , I was loving the subplot of the big bowl

Fantastic. Though for the first five minutes until my ears had tuned in I felt like I needed subtitles.

Sister Michael is a star

It's amazing. Michelle telling stories when she can't remember the person's name is every time DM and DSis tell me one. And we're not from Derry🤣

The list on the blackboard was hilarious.

Well now I'm Catholic (very lapsed) as are my family and all of our toasters are kept on the worktop.

Dh had to put subtitles on for Michelle when she is on a tangent he couldn't catch what she was saying.

Well now I'm Catholic (very lapsed) as are my family and all of our toasters are kept on the worktop.

A quick poll in my office this morning, where I am the only Protestant, revealed that I am the only person who keeps their toaster in the cupboard (as do all my family). 😂

I am a prodestant my toaster is on the worktop i think it must be your family quirk Isabelle although I am nota NI prodestant we might do things a wee bit different in Scotland

I just watched last night's episode I could barely watch the residential - I was at loads of residential, peace building weekends between 16 and 18. I'm hitting a beamer now thinking of all the icebreaker games and trust exercises.

As an aside, at the weekend my 13 year old wore exactly the same outfit as Erin does at the beginning of the episode

I'm a NI Protestant and I don't keep my toaster in the cupboard and I like ABBA!
Although I do like soup

Ha ha. Im out with 2 protestants tonight (my bffs) so will ask them about their toasters. As a Catholic mines never moves off the worktop

Aye ask them , just noticed Protestant has no d

Just found this thread. Love this show.

Love the 'Big bowl' conversations

Sister Michael’s contempt for Father Peter was great

Was brilliant. It's like the NI version of the inbetweeners

Love it. Sister Michael is just perfect, (though possibly a little too kindhearted) reminds me of my 70s/80s convent school so much!

Lapsed Catholic here and my toaster is on the counter. I love Sister Michael though she's at least 100 years younger than my old headmistress.

I’m a southern Catholic and I like the toaster out. Dh, an English Protestant always puts it away 😂. He’s tall, I have freckles, he hates ABBA and I love them. 😃

The big bowl subplot was cracking me up.

“Why wouldn’t she want her big bowl back Jerry? It just doesn’t make sense”

Ok so I thought the ending was a bit shit, but the rest was hilarious. So excited for the rest of the series! I think the Protestant lesbians question was my favourite.

I have a Protestant ex boyfriend from Bangor and a Catholic ex from Derry. Both kept their toasters out on the counter!

Love the show, also loving the big toaster debate it’s provoked

Hearing the Cranberries at the end though made me after hearing about Dolores O’Riordan last year.

Really enjoyed this but another one who got lost when Michelle was talking fast. The big bowl storyline had me in stitches.
