I know most of you guys would be pronuncing the title the Singaporean way, i.e., no intonation, no accent, just "ITS BLAARDY HOT".
But for the fun of it, lets do it the British way. Try it: "Its BLAD-y HOT!". Ah, I guess intonations doesnt get conveyed just thru the spelling of the text.
Sorry about that, I guess I got a little carried away with accents after watching this movie Matchpoint. Pretty good movie, and its not just because Scarlett Johansson is starring in it. It was based in London, where this ex-tennis player becomes a tennis coach at Wimbledon, gets aquainted with the British upper-class, gets married to this sweet girl with tons of money, then gets involved in an affair with Ms Johansson. She gets pregnant, wants him to leave his wife. He's too used to the upper-class lifestyle and isn't willing to give that up. So he kills her.
Anyway, back to the point. I hate the weather here. It really sucks. One moment ago it was so cold it snows. Another moment it gets wet. Not just wet but dull gloomy misty foggy kinda wet. And now its just blardy hot! Why? Why can't the weather be like oh sunny California, where its sunny yet cool.
I'll never settle down in London. The weather may be a convenient topic to discuss over coffee/beer, but I'd rather give that up to live somewhere nicer.
