Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-03-27

Checking out the website of new low cost airine, Velvet Sky. Unfortunately for them Google reveals there is a 'classy' lady of the same name #

It appears Velvet Sky only flies between Durban-Joburg & CT-Joburg (launch special is R200 & R400 one way respectively). #

Southern Suburbs Green Drinks is happening at Josephine's Mill from 6:30pm tonight. The presentation will be on the proposed Karoo fracking #

Talking about fracking, a documentary on this topic, called Gasland, is screening at the labia tonight, Tues & Wed http://bit.ly/fkBdJq #

2 bars of Dove soap is cheaper than a pack of 2 and 2x750ml Handy Andy is cheaper than 1×1.5L – I don't understand. #

A lot of people commented on the issue of free internet at Hotels. My opinion is one should get 50 to 100MB per night's stay at least. #

Wild Woods is doing a craft beer and food pairing on Wed evening. 4 courses and lots of beer for R280 http://bit.ly/812SJQ #

Cirque du Soleil starts on Wed at Grandwest, until 3rd April. This is a must see & there are still tickets available http://bit.ly/dvBUBZ #

My legs are feeling fatigued after my workout earlier. Let's hope it doesn't affect my performance at Ultimate Frisbee too much just now. #

Watched a girl and her dog on Clifton 1st for a bit. Was unexcited when the dog took a crap and she just kicked some sand over it #fail #

Flanagan's Roasted Clove O' Garlic are the best crisps. End of story. #

I'm so used to buying steak & chops I don't know what half the stuff is in my portion of meat share. So I'm making curry no. 5. #

Today is World Water Day and the theme this year is Water for Cities: Responding to the Urban Challenge http://bit.ly/bmIjEe #

Recent survey asked users which cellphone they would get next: 48% Nokia, 24% Blackberry, 12% Samsung, 3% iPhone. Interesting. #

In support of World Water Day, Global Carbon Exchange is giving away a Water Auditing course worth R6500 http://bit.ly/gkOgJV #

While we're talking World Water Day, don't forget to like our Say No To Bottled Water Facebook page http://on.fb.me/i4s5J1 #

Chatted to Jason of Jardine Bakery at the craft beer festival re his plans for the future. I'm sworn to secrecy but can tell u it's all good #

Amazon.co.uk is offering free shipping to South Africa until May 15th! Details here http://amzn.to/fHMUY6 #

And done! Finally all 10 pub lunches evaluated. Who would have thought it would be so demanding? Visited some new spots, some good some kak. #

Read all about the Eat In Awards. The winners & what I liked about the new night market format & what I didn't like http://bit.ly/g4hpWU #

Many 5FM DJs have a unique skill of being able to do shows without ever saying anything interesting, funny, intelligent or consequential. #

I like eating at Sawaddee. Having dinner there tonight before the documentary screening at the Labia. #

Gaslands is a very interesting documentary. Now I know why it's important that we don't allow fracking in the Karoo. See the documentary. #

Read my review of Gaslands (a doccie on fracking) & if u want to see it get to the Labia tonight for the last screening http://bit.ly/dT6TGN #

2 more group buying sites now live, Zappon & CitySlicker. A third, Hot Deals, is coming. That's about 10 now, how many do we actually need? #

Taste Wine Mag's award winning chenins (http://bit.ly/eqOH3B) at the Mount Nelson on Thursday evening. Call Kathryn on 021 530 3308 #

Five Flies is under new ownership as of this month. Let's hope it improves. #

This may not be your thing, but the Toffie Pop Culture Festival & design conference starts tomorrow at the CT city hall http://bit.ly/glYK9U #

RT @foodwithastory: Found a great brand-spanking new brasserie/deli on Longmarket Street – Dear Me http://bit.ly/f9A7VW #

I'm reporting my One80 trainer for attempted murder. That was a killer session. Worked off all 10 pub lunches in that session I reckon. #

When I melt Nomu hot choc granules in the microwave to pour over my ice cream, I have a bad habit of using too much. My favourite bad habit. #

I need some new music. Bought Arcade Fire because people were raving about it. Very average. Any suggestions? #

Thanks for all the music suggestions. I'm going to work through them and see if there are any I like. Will let you know what I find. #

Quick breakfast at Caffe Milano. These Spier biodynamic eggs are really much better than regular eggs, I'm glad they go to the trouble. #

Talking about eggs, have you seen and tasted the Valrhona chocolate Easter eggs at Caffe Milano? Move over Lindt, this is the real deal. #

8:30pm on Sat is Earth Hour. Have you planned where you will be, what you will be doing and with whom? http://bit.ly/g2du8y #

It's browser upgrade time, Firefox 4 & Internet Explorer both available for download. But be aware IE9 doesn't run on XP, only Vista & 7. #

Here's my review of the Craft beer festival which took place at the Biscuit Mill on Sunday http://bit.ly/hpwyAb #

Zappon sent me a voucher. I might buy both of today's deals: R5 for a 3 month Sunday Times subscription & R50 for a R200 Exclus1ves voucher. #

Well that was relatively painless. The small print on the Exclus1ves voucher is that it's valid for 1 item only so it must cost R200 or more #

Fri through Sunday is the Getaway show at Lourensford estate. Should be fun for the whole family. Find details here http://bit.ly/gpLBrI #

Need to fly to Durbs next month. Kulula wants R3000! Mango is half the price luckily but they want an extra R40 to pre book my seats! #

Flip, I just upgraded my Blackberry to v6 of the operating system & now I don't know how to work my phone anymore. Just found Twitter again. #

Speed trap on Beach road, Seapoint, heading toward town. #

Would love your feedback on this. Please check out my first video review… of my suite at the Hyatt Regency Oubaai http://bit.ly/dWpbuI #

On Sat I'm doing the Cape Town pub Crawl for the first time. 100 people, 10 hours, 10 pubs, 10 pints http://bit.ly/ghCmCd #

And on Sunday I'm off to Cirque du Soleil, I have a feeling it's going to be awesome http://bit.ly/dvBUBZ #

I am a little disappointed to be missing the 2nd birthday of Nigiro Teas. While they are enjoying a relaxing tea ceremony, I'll be on pint 3 #

Busy setting up a RIACT display in Tokai at Art in the Forest. How stunning is this view? http://twitpic.com/4d5q3x #

Phew, that's a long work day. Finally on my way home to shower and head out to dinner. Looking forward to that first glass of wine. #

I was planning to take a 6 pack to this dinner, but a bottle of Ryk Neethling wine was the closest I had. Was quite well received. #

Was quite impressed with another wine at dinner, from Swartland, called Sequillo. A 2008 blend of Shiraz, mourvedre & granache. #

Just had a good workout, earned the pub crawl coming up in a bit. #

Ooh, just found Winestyle magazine in my postbox. Looking forward to paging through it. #

Gosh, Winestyle is a good looking magazine. Loving the article on boutique cheeseries and the fabulous photos in the mushrooms article. #

Just read Lewis Pugh's speech at the public hearings re fracking in the Karoo. It's brilliant, read it here (not long) http://bit.ly/goldT9 #

Have you entered the @MensHealthZA suit competition? You can win a bespoke suit. Here's my entry http://bit.ly/gfeoBJ #

And the pub crawl is off to a good start (see pic), leaving Olimp for venue 2, Purple Turtle. Haven't been there in 10 years! #

Purple Turtle thought 1 barman would be enough for 100 people so we're off to Fireman's. #

But Fireman's won't let us sit at their tables which not cool. #

I think Fireman's has the most taps of any pub in CT. Also, I think I'm becoming in knee brie ate it. #

Right, so we did O'Driscoll's and then Dias tavern. But I've pulled out at pub 5 because I have things to do and I have to wee. #

This is one of the cars in the road as we walked past the film shoot happening in town… http://twitpic.com/4djpo1 #

Slow Food Mother City is going chestnut foraging today (foraging is the new black). It's a perfect day for it, have fun guys! #

Thank you, Peroni, for the VIP treatment at the Vibe party last night. You're a great host. #

Right, settling into a dim sum lunch at Beluga. It's a tough life. #

Off to cirque du soleil… #

Cirque du Soleil was an awesome show and I thoroughly enjoyed it but it was just a little less impressive than I was expecting. #
