Maybe where you're from it does, but certainly not in Derry.;)

I've had this little chat with my English friend before, and don't even get us started on the macaroon/macaron debate! :eek:

Ah you see as I watched I got annoyed because they were pronouncing scone incorrectly. Everybody knows that it rhymes with bone not gone, and while we're on the subject, jam first then cream :P

Where are you from? In Derry it's scone/gone, and maybe some snobs in Derry used cream to distinguish themselves from the hoi polloi, but I only ever saw butter being used by anyone who ever offered me scones.

I'm in Limerick, and definitely not a scone snob

Do Protestants eat Scones?

What's with the tash on TT, it needs to be gone or explained

I thought that was great. Sr Michael is absolutely hilarious

Say Your Number

I liked how Eamonn was a mild mannered mammy's boy for most of the episode and then he turned into his mother at the end.

Wanted to see Colm after eating a scone.

Maybe that was Colm after eating a scone...

There's no doubt the acting/comedic talent and the writing on the program is outstanding. Its an example of what can happen when you get the right people and let them at it, like with Fr Ted.

DrPhilG

Never spotted the full uncensored version before. It always had that girl standing in front of it.


"Distance between the eyes" is my new favourite.

Acosta

Overall enjoying it a lot, but that was the weakest episode of both seasons. It barely got a chuckle from me.

Is this the wake one?
I disagree I think it was by a distance the best episode of this series

My ranking would be:



E1: Best of S2


E2: Worst of S2


E3: 3rd best of S2



E4: 2nd best of S2

Just caught up with the wedding/wake episode now and to be fair it was very good.

Jerry in the kitchen was gas

The mother's suit for the wedding reminds me so much of the style from that era. We all have a grand-uncle like Colm

Return to form definitely, but I hope the final two episodes of the run are closer to this one in terms of quality than the other three, otherwise the season can only be regarded as a flop in my opinion.

Clearly I think this series has been a case of saving the best for last, because both this week and last week's episodes have been brilliant.

BoroMan32

Yeah, tonight's episode was brilliant.

Ciarán Hinds daughter Aoife played Mae Chung.

Tonight's episode was a lot of fun.
Last week's was also good, thank feck because the others in this series were poor enough.
The aunt and mum quietly steal every scene they are in, Orlas choice of date was also really sweet

E mac

You'd have imagined the last scene of the last ep would have been the IRA ceasefire. It really was such a big deal watching that BBC clip reminded me of that time

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Saw it coming, but James stepping in to save Erin's night was such a sweet moment.

Cosmo Kramer

Had actually put off watching episode 4 because I had found the first three to be a bit of a grind, but after watching the last two episodes last night and tonight they have more than compensated for the poor start to the season.

Really good again tonight, maybe not as funny as last week but a good storyline with the ceasefire was worked in well. If they can pull out one more episode of that standard next week the show will be well worth a third season.

I've found all 4 episodes much of a muchness - funny but not many LOLs

There have been 5 now in this series.


I thought the first 3 were poor enough but 4 and 5 a lot more enjoyable.

RhubarbCrumble

I thought the grandad and Orla tucking into the popcorn just as everything was kicking off with the buckets was very good funny ��

JP Liz V1

Jenny reminds me of Shirley Henderson

Can you name a TV comedy nowadays that has 'many LOLs' ?

Some trivia-the band playing in episode 5 are a wedding band called
The Bentley Boys

this week's episode was pretty good i thought. possibly the best of this series.
