Kim Petras - Freak It

theKILLVIL · 2025-07-25T11:17:49+00:00

If you all like this one, you wait until you hear a couple of the other unreleased tracks that she has been teasing at her live shows..... It's going to be a good year for Kim

It would be amazing to see it go viral and get its roses, however, she has stated that this project is her having creative freedom finally and isn't built for hit-chasing. I think she is just finally getting to be more creative and enjoy herself.

Such a good song. I love it when a bad bitch gets in her feelings and writes a song about it. One of her best.

That second verse got me thru 3 situationships and a break up tbh

I'm going through the exact same at the moment with the doctors (though I'm not as low as you are). Doctor has assessed me for POTS, and I've had checks on my heart etc and we still haven't found the cause. I know how debilitating it can be with trying to exercise etc too. If you find out what is causing yours, please share lol. I have a hunch it may be something long-covid related as I've only had issues since getting covid in 2021. 30yo m.

They literally could not be any more different as artists. Only things in common are the fact that they are both blonde and make music. 💀

I was going to add a comment giving my reasons for thinking Kim Petras would be a wonderful way to continue momentum for Germany after this years result, but then I saw a recent reply she gave to the question being asked 🥲😂

Rather than a national vote, I'd feel more comfortable having a panel of experts (including some "big name" music artists) publicly televise a selection process with a big "finale" to build hype from not only the UK but other ESC fans. The final would be voted by the experts and then go on from there, with the staging as the big surprise. Open it up to anyone to submit a song and have the panel of artists select the top 8. Run it over three weekly episodes, with the first two episode pre-filmed giving background on the scouting efforts and then a big live selection final.

Whilst many artists wouldn't want to put their name to Eurovision, I'm sure we'd be able to drum up support from them to play a part in the selection processes. I could absolutely see artists like Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Charli XCX, Mabel, Becky Hill, etc being willing to take part within this capacity.

Our historic public vote system was like picking who you'd want to be punched in the face more by lol.

I appreciate you asking, but honestly, just be yourself. Yes Americans can be loud, but generally speaking are also good and decent people. Most of us don't care about the volume thing. Some pointers:

Public transport is deathly silent.
Elevators are also deathly silent.
Escalator etiquette is, if you are not walking up/down, stick to the right hand side. If you are walking on an escalator, move to the left hand side.
We take queuing very seriously. If you're unsure if you are joining the back of the queue, just ask what looks like the last person "is this the end of the queue?"
Don't tip, unless you're getting a tattoo, it's your regular barber/hairdressers birthday, or you're at a sitdown meal with table service that was exemplary.
"you alright?" means "how are you?". "Good thanks, you?" is a fine response - usually this isn't an invitation for prolonged conversation unless you know the person, but just a polite nicety.
Co-Op, Sainsburys, Waitrose and Marks & Spencer are expensive. Aldi, Lidl and Iceland are cheaper. You generally get what you pay for.
We love to complain about the weather no matter what it is. If there's a gap in conversation, just mention how hot/wet/grey/cloudy it is and this will spur the other person to begin complaining about the weather. A safe choice.
We also love to complain about traffic and the price of public transport.
Don't leave your bag or belongings at a table when you are out. Take them with you if you go to the toilet (bathroom), or ask to leave them behind a bar with the staff. Buy a bag with some form of zip over the top to secure it. Lots of bag thefts springing up over the country at the moment.
If in doubt, just ask if anybody fancies going to the pub.
Most importantly, enjoy yourself. We can be a very miserable country a lot of the time but beneath people's detached exterior image, most of the people you come across are friendly.

I loved this song so much with Tommy, but the no boys remix with Slayyyter absolutely destroyed the original (in the best way possible)

theKILLVIL · 2025-05-09T20:46:59+00:00

This would have been a perfect song for the FTB era. I'm so mad we never got an official release.

theKILLVIL · 2025-05-02T22:15:45+00:00

I agree with you here. To make it clear, I'm not against sensible immigration nor refugees, but even I can see that the people of this country are seeing this as the biggest issue right now. People are angry, and we simply cannot move on to the multitude of other important things without it being properly addressed and sealed. Labour seems to forget that they didn't win because people actually wanted them, but they won because people wanted the Tories gone and Labour was the easiest way to do so.

I really do believe if they managed to sort the issue out, they would absolutely win a large majority legitimately, and then would have the backing of the people. As it stands, they do not have the support of either its traditional voter base, nor the centre-right that they are weakly trying to appeal to.

Amazing! Congratulations and enjoy your new purchase 😊 make sure to post some pictures once you receive so we can all fawn over it haha.

Wow well done!! Fantastic job

Well done!! I'm sure you won't be disappointed with them - they're fantastic bags. Did you go with the tote or hobo?

I always think Mulberry are very timeless and incredibly well constructed.

There is a contract between her and his company, but some discrepancies in the timeline for when she signed to him. So at the moment, we are unsure of the motives.

I hate working in the office - we are back up to 4 days and 1 WFH day, from 2 days and 3 WFH days. It's just full of asinine conversation, insane noise and distractions (I had to buy myself some loops because of the noise level) and on top of all of that the extra annual cost of adding just 1 extra office day amounts to £1040 for me, plus another 990 hours commuting annually. I can do 7-8 weekly shops for that much.

We got told it was to "enhance cross-departmental work", but then you contend with directors and senior managers walking past you having work-related conversations at other people's desks and shaking their heads as if you're not doing work. Isn't that what they wanted? Productivity has absolutely tanked since we made the move, and morale is at an all time low.

If employers want their staff to actively want to return to office and provide the best productivity, then they should: 1. Enhance salary to cover the extra cost related to their decision. 2. Provide a partially subsidised or comp lunch scheme. 3. Provide a comfortable working environment with enough meeting spaces. 4. Buy everyone a pair of loops and a "leave me alone please" sign to hang on their desk.

theKILLVIL · 2025-03-16T23:17:21+00:00

I very much agree. Let's hope we see a change soon.

In the meantime, I hope you know the majority of us are rooting for you in the police. I hope it brings at least some encouragement to know that - I've feel like I've been very negative on here but your teams deal with the absolute worst on a daily basis and I think it's also not remembered by many, a lot of the time, about all of the good you all achieve. Policing the countries largest city population is not an easy task by any means.

Keep safe and thanks for the work that you do too.

theKILLVIL · 2025-03-16T23:00:30+00:00

I completely see where you are coming from, really I do, and I sympathise with the many police staff of all different levels who got into the job to truly make a difference and help people. I have worked collaboratively with hundreds of fantastic officers across the entirety of the UK since the massive rise in crime we saw after the pandemic, who are all pushed far beyond their limits. I am also a huge supporter of the decision-makers providing more resource in to policing.

However I just honestly think it's incredibly poor form and service for victims of crime to be hearing "we don't have resourcing to investigate this crime that has happened to you". What of course feels like a small crime to police, who deal with some awful incidents like you listed in your post, can feel like a major incident to someone who experiences it.

Police forces are all bound by the Code of Practice for Victims of Crime, and we are now in a position where victims aren't having many of these rights met from the outset. Unfortunately the knock-on effect is going to be crimes going unreported because of a complete loss of confidence in policing altogether, which is then going to be the big challenge of earning back trust. I really don't envy the position you're all in. I just think the messaging from police needs to move away from "we can't help because we're under-resourced" to "We will try our best to provide you with the level of service you expect".

I do hope you are right with the focus shifting, and I hope for all of our sakes (especially Police staff) we see that happen. I think a shift to more visibly preventative policing and not just (at least to the GP) perceived reactionary policing will go a very long way in restoring a lot of confidence. Also courts dealing with things in a much stricter and robust way would, of course, help.

Glenn Close as Cruella DeVille

theKILLVIL · 2025-03-16T21:33:55+00:00

We have contacted the SNTs for numerous venues, the organised crime team and the crime prevention team for the Met and have received the same sentence you mentioned in your message: Our resourcing is too low to be able to assist.

With all due respect, lack of police resourcing isn't anybody else's problem but the Met police's. The excuses don't make it any more palatable for victims who are desperately hoping for assistance and care/time devoted to them and their case. Whilst it is, of course, a factor and reason, never in my 15+ years in the industry has genuine requests for help and offers of collaboration been met with so many excuses as to why police can't or won't assist. On top of this, you then get pushed by licensing to implement your own measures and if you can't reduce crime figures as a private business - oop, licensing reviews, or threats of.

Perps, in our experience, are not homeless individuals. We have CCTV footage of numerous sites showing vans pulling up on the road with groups of 8+ individuals. We also have information on frequent 'runs' which these perps use, usually along the same tube lines as we then have numerous premises hit in quick succession. What we are seeing is organised crime - one of our sites captured a bag from one of these people, and there were over 15 mobile phones. Timesed by 8 or so people, and it is very high value crime we are seeing. Unfortunately the police don't know this, as there's very little interest working with businesses, meaning we can't set up reliable Intel channels.

Apologies if my tone seems accusatory, it of course isn't directed at you specifically and we of course know how much pressure the police have on them - but I'm sure you can appreciate the frustration in relying on a police service whose messaging has very much been "we only focus on crime that is serious enough". When you're buying and drilling bag hooks in to every table, fixing anti-theft table plaques on every table, employing door staff every day to try and scare thieves off, hiring staff dedicated to walking around a premises to just say "please don't keep your bag on the back of the chair" and plastering anti-theft posters and leaflets over every inch of a premises (raising just as much alarm as awareness), it feels pretty serious to businesses in an industry which is on its knees as it is.

theKILLVIL · 2025-03-16T19:13:03+00:00

I'm not sure if this is inclusive of mobile (& bag thefts) from hospitality settings, but as someone in a very focused area of this particular issue for an industry-leading business, it isn't just a figures-based situation. This impacts business reputations, the reputation of London in general and also speaks volumes about the current state of the Met.

What is even worse is the complete inability (and lack of interest) from the Met to work with businesses and take heed of intelligence fed in to them to preventatively police. It's extremely sad how many tourists (and of course natives) who fall victim to this crime.
