Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-04-24

And another group buying website has launched, CitySlicker http://bit.ly/dJDh4O #

So many public holidays coming up, very exciting. Is there a collective noun for public holidays? An extravaganza? A treat? A blessing? #

Southern Suburbs Greendrinks tonight at Josephine Mill will be looking at the role of art in activism (6:30pm, all welcome) #

Lonesome Dave Ferguson is leaving CT forever! Wipe the tears from your eyes, then click for details of his last gig http://on.fb.me/gXlXGa #

And it appears another group buying site went live a few days ago, dealson.co.za – am I missing something? #

Man, I wish it was April 1st. I just came up with the most awesome April Fools. Would have totally fooled everyone. Will have to wait a year #

Was just offered some cashola to do a 'sponsored post' about a weight loss product. I turned it down because I believe they are all a scam. #

Amen, sister! RT @CapeTown_Girl: @RelaxWithDax yup – only way to lose weight is to eat healthy food and exercise. #

100% RT @GregSym: @RelaxWithDax on the money my man! Supplement & Diet market one of the biggest marketing scams! Including Vitamin water. #

And that's the end of Ultimate Frisbee season. Nice last game. Will miss the Monday sunsets too. #

Having Rob Vember fill in for Gareth Cliff on 5FM this morning is great. It means my day can only improve. #

Heading to the Top 100 SA Wines awards a little later. Should be interesting http://bit.ly/hegK4V #

Arrived at The Rodwell boutique Hotel in St James. Nice spot #SAtop100 http://twitpic.com/4muuy0 #

Cedarberg, Saronsberg & Simonsig have all got more than 3 wines in the #SAtop100 #

Wow, nice to see Oldenburg with 3 wines from their MAIDEN vintage in the #SAtop100 I told you that Cab Franc was tip top. #

Flipsakes, this Saxenburg Private Collection shiraz '06 must be worth whatever price they are asking #nectar #

Inception: If Leo &his wife grew old together while stuck in the dream, why were they young when they lay on the railway track to 'wake up'? #

Today is the anniversary of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Can you believe it's been a year already? #

La Colombe drops out of the World Top 50 restaurants. View the full listing here http://bit.ly/hllTgt #

Heading to Hemelhuis for my first visit. Thought I'd save it for a rainy day. Hehe #

I don't mind paying the parking attendants in town, but they never have change and neither do I. #

That was a very pleasant lunch. Lovely space, service was acceptable & the lamb pie was delicious. As were the potato wedges & truffle mayo. #

And tonight, dinner at The Roundhouse. Eric should have settled in nicely by now. Looking forward to seeing what he is producing. #

Pre drinks at Kitima. Because it's right next door to The Roundhouse! #

7 courses paired with wines at The Roundhouse last night, 'fallow deer' a highlight. Think I need a toasted bacon & egg for breakfast today. #

Wow! Olympus now offers 'Multi Recording' so you can shoot 2 videos at once (zoomed & not) or take photos while filming http://bit.ly/eZuQkC #

Don't forget about the Earth Fair market at St Georges mall this afternoon… #

John Cleese will be doing stand up comedy at the ICC in Oct. Tickets start at R350 and will sell out fast http://bit.ly/eVIARx #

Is Nuclear the answer to our energy needs? Watch The Nuclear Comeback at the Labia tonight, 6pm http://bit.ly/fjtIPE #

Keeping it real with lunch at Vasco's today. It comes at a price though, burping rancid peri peri sauce all afternoon is not pleasant. #

Karma: after complaining about the peri peri sauce it turns out Vasco's has RUN OUT which means I could actually taste the chicken. Gross. #

Sorry, the link to John Cleese was wrong. Here's the correct link http://bit.ly/eVlARx #

Tomorrow is Earth Day. Have you pledged your contribution to the goal of a billion acts of green? http://bit.ly/hFJcyg #

Just watched doccie at Labia, now quiz night at Fireman's. We got 9 out of 10 in first round. Thank you very much. #

It's the last round and we're still in the lead! #quiznight #

Ah man, we slipped up in the last round and came 3rd overall. Who knew the plural of opus is opera? #quiznight #

Just installed Blackberry Protect app. It backs up your phone to a server & u can remote format as well as locate your phone if stolen! #

I like that CT is more about lifestyle than money but it means that on a public holiday there is a 50% chance that any eatery is closed. #

Google's doodle for Earth Day is quite cool. It's even animated http://www.google.com #

Just had lunch at the JC Brasserie. It's fairly inexpensive & we have a nice table in the sun. But there are definitely some negatives. #

Just popped into the Waterfront to meet a mate for a beer at Mitchell's and the place is packed. #

Sawaddee for dinner again tonight. Will I have the courage to order something different this time? #

I see Kink in Park St is closed tonight. Is that permanent? #

Seeing as Kink has closed down (I've been told), we opted for Blake's. Nice music & dress up party has made for an interesting crowd. #

When I say interesting, I mean women in mustaches and men in wrestling masks! #Blakes #

Ha, turns out Ryan Dent is on the decks (explains the good music) & I've been dragged into… http://twitpic.com/4o4xzb #

Flip, things are hotting up at Blake's. Just had Jeannie D waving hello to me & about another 40 people have arrived so the place is pumping #

Right, who's coming to the Hope St market today? I'm on my way to see what the breakfast options are because I'm hungry. #

This Bean There coffee is yummo! Nice to see Rudi the sausage dude here. Some good looking cheese, biltong, etc. & too many brekkie options! #

Oh boy, it's beer o' clock already. Look at all those beautiful taps #HopeStMarket http://twitpic.com/4od5mg #

Yummo, just tasted Rudi's chilli buffalo boerewors. So tasty & the spiciness is going well with this cold Darling beer #HopeStMarket #

Had delicious briyani at a mate's place tonight. So good I ate until it was too uncomfortable to continue. I'm going to sleep well tonight. #

Awesome roast lamb lunch, now I'm curled up in bed with my Blackberry. And the Sunday Times. #

Also heard that Sand Bar in Camps Bay is closing down at the end of the month. That's the end of an institution. #

And in case you haven't heard, Green Dolphin in the V&A is closing end April. Sad for jazz good for CT's food reputation. #

Been told now that The Wooden Shoe in Seapoint has also closed down. Anyone else heard that? #

RT @shaunfrancbond: unfortunately yes. he passed away from what I know #WoodenShoe @FoodWineGuru @brettsoulman #
