Really enjoying it, my Mrs is from Belfast and is loving hearing turns of phrase that she doesn't normally unless she's back home.

Bit like an Irish Inbewteeners for me.

Yep agreed leans very much towards the inbetweeners ,swap the nun for Mr Gilbert and so on...not a bad thing though. 

I'm a bit surprised that some of the humour has made it across the water in all honesty, most of it is very local based ,a few of the characters have lots of potential,the grandad,the phsyco shopkeeper etc...

This just gets better.

(Looking at the IRA mural someone has painted on their gable end)
"What are they, stilts?"
"Golf clubs."
"I thought spatulas."
"They're RIFLES!"
"Really? Are you sure?"
"Fairly sure!"

"You do not want to attract predatory animals into your sleeping area. Bears are particularly vicious."
"I'm not sure how many bears there are in Portloo, though, Jim."
"But there was a cheetah on the beach one time."
"That was a greyhound, Orla."

 

And the whole thing with the Orange Walk. Of course this is set in the 1990s and that sort of thing doesn't happen any more... er...
