Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-02-20

9 March 2011 by CapeTownNewsReader
  • Big companies are scum RT @brauteseth: Chevron may never pay the $17 billion fine for environmental damage in Ecuador http://bloom.bg/dNIxxr #
  • Win tickets (& a bottle of wine) to the BMW International Polo tournament at Val de Vie… http://bit.ly/ggMGni #
  • Off to media lunch at the 12 Apostles Hotel. I’m assuming we’ll be drinking Bouchard Finlayson wines again #nice #
  • Drove past Clifton earlier & some toffoluxe was climbing the stone face. The rocks he dislodges will land on the cars below. #
  • Gosh, I hate fish knives. Why are they still around? #
  • http://twitpic.com/403rh3 – Some desserts are not worth the calories, this cheesecake was totally worth it. The whole lunch has been fab. #
  • After a fab 5 course meal courtesy of Red Carnation, I’m on my way to the Table Bay for a media table with Lira http://bit.ly/igFknq #burp #
  • Just picked up my U2 (+afterparty) tickets courtesy of 8ta. Feeling a strange emotion. Think it might be excitement. #
  • Lira was really good. Now multi course pairing at the Atlantic Grill. Had to reject Voss water & request tap. Bread trolley is impressive! #
  • The waiter is starting to think I’m a freak. After rejecting the water, I’ve also rejected the fish knife. Can’t do 2 in one day. #
  • 7 courses at the Atlantic Grill, some very good, some less so. Same for the pairings. Service was impeccable, ambiance pleasant #goodnight #
  • RT @thecru: Draw R500 from FNB ATM’s – not the easy R600 option provided! Bastards! http://bit.ly/eIAcMr #
  • Keen to do your bit? Check out this Water Auditing course, learn to properly manage & conserve water at home or office http://bit.ly/h0zAIR #
  • El Burro doing pop up bar in ex Shu space for U2 concert. Open from 1pm on Friday. #
  • A violinist & waiter delivered an invitation to the Capitec Le Budget Cafe. I might pop in on Thursday, looks fun http://on.fb.me/gxrUTv #
  • Interesting article on group buying at iMod, maybe I need to add ‘are they a scam’ to my current poll on Relax With Dax http://bit.ly/g3jnyh #
  • Testing out the new restaurant at Theatre on the Bay, Side Dish. It’s owned by the Dish people. Decor is fabulous and appropriate. #
  • Menu is short but appealing, even after my 5 course lunch at Glen Carlou which basically just ended. Having chilli & prawn linguine starter. #
  • My partner’s gnocchi is delicious & so light, yummo! My yellowtail was also good. #
  • Have you been to one of @undomestikated‘s dinner club evenings yet? If not, you should and here’s your next chance http://bit.ly/dNuOJw #
  • Just had my first workout at One80′s new gym. Double the space apparently means twice as many ways of making me sweat. I survived. #
  • Check out my review of the launch of Ryk Neethling’s wine at Val de Vie http://bit.ly/ewptUv #
  • If u would like to be a larney, don’t forget we’re giving away 2 pairs of tickets to the polo @ Val de Vie next weekend http://bit.ly/ggMGni #
  • Starting today, the Earth Fair Market will happen every Thurs in upper St Georges Mall. Midday to 6:30pm. Hope it’s not too windy… #
  • The 6 course lunch we did at Glen Carlou yesterday was excellent, as were the wines. Today, sadly, it looks like I’m having a sandwich. #
  • Kings Club meeting later at Kitchen Cowboys Canteen. Blind tasting of 16 beers then steak roll and free access to a keg. Yummo! #
  • If all goes according to plan, I will be mothballing my Nokia next week and joining the Blackberry club. This makes me happy. #
  • Some random dude elected himself pointsman at a non functioning intersection in Salt River. Okes weren’t loving it and he was getting angry! #
  • Found the home of Kitchen Cowboys, it’s opp the Upper Eastside Hotel. This cold draught is being very friendly. #KingsClub #
  • Blind beer tasting, this is going to be challenging… #
  • Out of the first round of 6 beers I guessed 0 correctly. Don’t tell anyone. This is tough! #
  • Ok, before you judge me, I got all the beers correct in the second round. Thank you very much. #
  • Still not sure whether Aspartme is bad for u? Here’s a very interesting article u might want to read http://bit.ly/gqfgi3 (via @yuppiechef) #

  • Been buying, or planning on buying, overseas lottery tickets online? You should read this http://bit.ly/g5G304 #
  • Auto Atlantic says it will take only 1 hour to service my BMW. Can’t be difficult then, so why does it cost R2000 minimum? #
  • Why is it that the more I have to do, the more I procrastinate? #
  • Off to the concert. Thanks 8ta! #
  • Oh no! I just noticed that the U2 concert is organised by Big Concerts. Something will definitely go wrong. #
  • http://twitpic.com/415ijx – I’m completely blown away, I’ve never in my life seen anything this impressive. Wow. #
  • I can’t tweet during this concert, I think it may be disrespecful. Seriously. #
  • Ouch, only surfacing now. Free drinks at the after party could be the problem. Don’t know of I should thank 8ta or blame them. #
  • Just watched some of the videos I took of the concert last night & my heart started beating faster. The concert was AMAZING! #
  • Some chick just washed grapes in the beach shower. I’m sure that water is not potable. Probably safer to eat unwashed grapes. #
  • Today’s your last chance to win tickets to the polo next weekend. It’s as easy as sending a mail… http://bit.ly/ggMGni #
  • Off to St Yves for the last Goldfish ‘Submerged Sundays’. Gonna be a goodie and I think the sunset will be awesome too.. #
  • Great warm up music at St Yves, getting amped for Goldfish… #
  • The Olmeca (gross) promo girls (hot) are selling tequilas but in the same used shot glasses each time. Not rad. Cuervo wouldn’t do that. #
  • Hijacked 1 of the gazebos without paying the (apparently R7000? -seriously?) hire fee. Clear view & not being bumped by brazilians of people #
