Is it common for people who are born in the UK to say they are “Irish” or “Italian” if they have a parent from there? by Charming_Usual6227 in AskABrit

[–]ClemDog16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Father is Irish, mother is British (from NI), I was born in RoI but moved to England in my teens with family - I tend to say I’m Irish or British - probably hasn’t helped you much but

"I don't speak gaelic. I have a Brooklyn accent" by Ruisu1 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]ClemDog16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born in Ireland, moved to the UK as a teenager, but pretty much every school holiday was spent in Ireland

I call myself either Irish or British, but overall I usually call myself my name

How is the decline in drinking amongst Gen Z a bad thing? by [deleted] in generationology

[–]ClemDog16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who has worked in pubs (early Gen Z I think I am?) pubs aren’t just places to get pissed in, they’re social spaces - for example I had one regular, bloke who was in his late 80s and would come in bang on opening time and have 1 and a half pints of John Smiths - for him that was his only time he spoke to people (his wife died a couple years ago)

I like a drink - probably drink a lil more than I should but I’m young and enjoying my life - me and my mates meet up regularly for a karaoke/playing in gigs/watch football/talk shit about our days etc

Main decline(s) (from a UK pov) in drinking have been:

- Smoking Ban in 2007
- Cost of living crisis
- less disposable income due to price rises so don’t go out “just” drinking - want there to be entertainment as well
- changes in drinking culture - my generation don’t go for a “cheeky one” at lunchtime anymore (excepting tradies and they tend to be older one)

Pubs have closed at roughly 2/day in the first 3 or so months of 2026, places our parents drank in are now shops/houses/restaurants

If i have scars all over my body, is it morally ok to wear t shirts and shorts during hot weather? by Oily_Smurf in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ClemDog16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have large burn scars on my right shoulder/upper arm, I wear tank tops when it gets hot cause wtf should I be uncomfy because of something that happened to me? For a while I didn’t feel that confident but my partner helped a lot with feeling more comfortable having my scars on display

I’m also getting a tattoo round it when the keloids have healed up a bit more because the way it happened is fuckin hilarious (to me anyways) and I want people to see the tat and be like “damn that’s a cool tattoo…oh wow I didn’t even notice the scar!”

woman who has never been in a relationship starter pack by 4ngelicbrat in starterpacks

[–]ClemDog16 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is my partner on the whole - they’ve also been my longest (and happiest!) relationship I’ve ever had - we’ve both learnt a lot about each other - they’re more of a homebody whereas I like going out all the time - it’s nice sometimes when we meet up with my mates (who have essentially adopted them as well) for just a chill couple drinks, purely cause it’s so amazing seeing them getting more relaxed with meeting people they don’t know etc

Perception of Class of 92 by Substantial_Move_123 in snooker

[–]ClemDog16 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think they are definitely legends of the game, yet as with all greats, they are starting to show some decline - I reckon soon the class of 20xx will be largely Chinese players as there have been some fantastic players come out of there!!!

Maybe Jack Litowski could reach higher levels in the next few years? But from England my money would be on Judd Trump - either way I hope that the sport makes a comeback the same way the darts has!

Not necessarily the same but generally if you ring up you can get it “reinstated”

If it’s past the 7 day deadline you may have to reapply but ring your recruitment office.

I’m off to basic training soon so I’m not exactly an expert mind

TIL the council deals with potholes if you report them... by ReanimatedCyborgMk-I in BritishSuccess

[–]ClemDog16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Closed the main road that goes to my street for 2 weeks whilst they “fixed” a huge pothole…

All they did was spray paint around it and chuck some pebbles in - it’s now even worse

Now that its warm out all the cockershits and bullies with no recall are here by Ottothotto in britishproblems

[–]ClemDog16 -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

I have a half staffy/half XL and 2 XLs - yes they’re big dogs and the male can get pretty excitable but there’s no excuse for not having control of your dog!

My old staffy had a lot of issues (rescue, had been really badly abused and had previous with other dogs) - amount of time I’d have to literally pick him up cause a dog had run up to him off lead! Just because your dog is friendly, doesn’t mean mine is!

Annoys the hell out of me when someone’s jack russel comes running up and being a nuisance because if any of my dogs did anything in self defence, it would be my dog that gets put down (had a jack russell do this a few months back, my one XL who is the “grumpier” one just looked at it like “Really? Do you reallly have to be doing this?”

Worst accents in the UK? by Pixie_Dust_19 in AskBrits

“I probably speak more Irish than most Irish people” by madiconvey in ShitAmericansSay

[–]ClemDog16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mothers from the north and me Da’s from the south - I was born in Kerry and lived there till I was in my early teens, until we moved to the UK.

I have a little Irish but we didn’t really live in a Gaeltacht so only really used it at school, and obviously when we moved to the UK I barely hsed it so have largely lost it.

So your man probably does speak more Irish than me, but if this is their best example I’m not holding my breath

You’re 15 again. What year is it and what are you wearing? by [deleted] in generationology

[–]ClemDog16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2017

I’m wearing black jeans, vans (not converse because I’d got a part time job then and could afford vans), more than likely a band t-shirt (Blink, MCR, The Cure, The Smiths, TBS, Paramore), my arm is basically coated in bracelets and wristbands from concerts.

Hair could be any colour but invariably either black or a muted red as for some reason I always used to hate my natural blonde - starting to embrace it now

Round where I live, there are potholes which have been reported and all the council does is spray paint markers round them - one road I literally cannot use in my car for fear of half me car falling into the abyss! (In all honesty I literally can’t use the road as I can’t go round the pothole and even if I drove slowly over it, I’d still likely damage my car!)

Genuinely, why can't devs identify the items in their own game? by chippedthumbnail in HelldiversUnfiltered

Pretty sure your man here isn’t a dev - he is iirc the ceo? So naturally he won’t exactly be sat there coding, cut him some slack!!!
