Slightly excited - Derry Girls is back this week

[Eve]

Starts Tues 5th.

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

All i got from Michelles rant was somebody was a RIDE 😂😂

I keep my toaster on the counter (catholic) but my sister keeps hers in a deep drawer (and she lives in Derry) . I remember staying in her house once and being so confused because it appeared she didn't have a toaster. Genuinely never occurred to me that it would be put away.

The whole show is so realistic, it's basically a documentary.

I'm a Catholic and I put the toaster in the cupboard.

And I hate Abba.

Funny as anything. I went to an all girls catholic convent school in the NW of England and it reminds me of me and my friends.

I'm appreciating the toaster research on this thread! I was that people keep it in the cupboard.
I loved this episode. I've never felt closer to my Irish Catholic roots than with the big bowl subplot. I realised I'm exactly like Erin's mum

"I think they should be kept separated"

Sister Michael "I think they should be kept in cages"

The big bowl chat was hilarious

MrsJayy she was talking about Hugh Grant getting caught with Devine Brown. The ride who paper clips her frocks is Liz Hurley. Once you know what it is it makes sense 😁

The list of differences had me in stitches! Protestants like flutes!! I should have hit pause to see the other ones! the big bowl subplot was cleverly done. The last scene of Erin writing "parents" on the board and the Protestant boy and her sharing a wee moment , series two did not disappoint!

The small angry penguin woman

'you'll go far in life, Jenny...................but you won't be well liked'

I think everyone knew a Jenny in school!

away here's the full board. The 'wee English fella' posted it on Twitter

Thanks for that Fraying

Just as brilliant and fresh as it ever was. Laughed and cried (especially with Dreams and Dolores at the end).

The bowl discussion, the athletes/catholic's, and the boards.

All hail Sister Michael! (as an ex catholic convent school girl raised in Northern Ireland, I never thought I'd write that, but I mean it!)

I've just come back from visiting family in Northern Ireland and I always smile at:

'Would you like your wee receipt with that?'

Placemats - my kids find the use of wee hysterical! When they are trying to annoy me they go full on wee - would you like a wee cake with your wee cup or tea?

Can someone explain Protestants like soup? That was a new one to me?

I love Abba and keep my toaster on the top counter.

Eve

I've no idea about the soup and Protestants, even though I did date have sex with a Protestant once. I had all the moves.

MrsJayy she was talking about Hugh Grant getting caught with Devine Brown. The ride who paper clips her frocks is Liz Hurley. Once you know what it is it makes sense

AH Right clear as mud she is

Years of practice with my family saying things that clear😁 I've had to translate 'you know that thing with your man, the old rugby supporter lad, there's a bird that belongs to a dead guy, who wrote that yoke' to groups of outsiders before.

Michelle's 'it's got your man in it, what do you call him,the disco dancer from look who's talking' is nothing compared to our lot.

(The answer to the first one is Stephen King btw)

I love it - brilliant show.

I'm a Protestant from NI & love ABBA & keep my toaster on the kitchen counter. I'd no idea anyone kept it anywhere other than on the counter?

I didn't understand the big bowl though - is that a Catholic thing?

Protestants liking soup refers to the fact that during the Famine, many Protestant churches provided soup kitchens for the Catholic Irish people on the condition that they converted religion.
Doing this and becoming Protestant was known as " taking the soup" and a family would be described as such for decades later.

And as an accompaniment to soup? We always said that " Protestants make lovely sandwiches" .These were naice fillings, cut in triangles .As opposed to Catholic ones, thick bread cut in half with only ham and cheese options.

You can't beat a good Catholic sandwich.

I love a good Protestant tray bake. For years I just thought tray bakes became more popular around the time I moved from Dublin to Belfast. Had no idea my friends down south weren't enjoying Malteser squares every week.

I'd convert for a good traybake tbh.

I also loved one of them saying they dubbed over Gerry Adams’ voice on TV because it was too sexy
