That's very mean.

But no, I don't fart.

aye ta, giving up the drink is actually easier than I thoguht it would be.

Saying that I did do a 16 hour session just before I started the booze free time, just to get it out of my system.

I gave up drinking once........... It was the worst eight hours of my life!!

"I am not a heavy drinker. I can sometimes go for hours without touching a drop." - Noel Coward

Whilst looking for the exact wording for this one found all of these http://www.allgreatquotes.com/alcohol_quotes.shtml -

some very good ones on there, I liked this one

Lady Astor: Sir, if you were my husband, I would poison your drink.
Winston Churchill: Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it.

Bessie Braddock: “Sir, you are drunk.”
Churchill: “Madam, you are ugly. In the morning, I shall be sober.”

"there are two things that are more difficult than making an after-dinner speech: climbing a wall which is leaning towards you, and kissing a girl that is leaning away from you" - Winston Churchill

English, please.

Translates into Thursday - Sunday off?

You saw through their cunning ruse

They can't say for sure when 3 Shawwal is until they confirm Ramadan is over

If you read the full article, this is for the Government departments, last paragraph says that Eid will probably fall on Friday and private sector holiday will be announced later - I reckon we will get just the Sunday.

Company's already announced we get Thurs-Sunday off.

But I will be working Thursday anyway as I am off to Singapore next week.

But most importantly, when will the boozers be shut?

The first night - eg. from sunset when Eid is declared - which we still don't know. Most likely Thursday, but possibly Wednesday. At latest Friday since at some point they give up even without seeing the moon crescent.
