it's all gone mental!
it's normal that the offies (or should that be offys?) are closed on a friday.,
it's their holy day, fair dickum, stock up on booze on thursday, deal with it and respect the culture.
a couple of hours ago i started getting text messages...
somebody, suddenly today, in a position of power, has decided the booze shops must close down for 4 days.
no forewarning. boom!
because eid is upon us.
it all went mental.
i dived into a taxi to the supermarche to find total chaos in the cave.
the problem is alcohol stops being sold at 8pm on the fucking dot.
i was lucky, i got their with plenty of time, about 15mins to spare, and filled the trolley.
phew.
imagine being told the offys are closing for 4 days!!!
