Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-06-05

6 July 2011 by CapeTownNewsReader
  • Many people see Twitter as a mini FB. If you are friends (or acquaintances) you must follow them. That's not the idea. Can't DM me? Email me #
  • I know for a fact that @underthetablect is driving around with a crate of empty Lion lager bottles in his boot. #
  • Hmm, just had an invitation hand delivered. To a chef's table. At the Spur. In Gugulethu. Since when do Spurs have chefs? #confused #
  • Yastic.co.za is a new penny auction site (a concept I don't trust) a la smokoo.co.za but using premium rate sms bidding instead. #
  • If you're ever looking for accommodation in PE, this guesthouse is a perfect balance of luxury & value http://bit.ly/d4Q1uc #
  • RT: @CTFestofBeer: Another brewer has just been signed up for this years Cape Town Festival of Beer, 25-27th Nov, that makes almost 40. #
  • I nearly froze walking from the office to my car. I can't imagine how cold this lady selling the Big Issue must be. But she's still smiling. #
  • Supposed to be at a wine tasting at the Upper East Side Hotel. I'm at home. #
  • Why is it so hard to find a shower curtain? Tried Clicks, @ Home, Woolworths Home. Any ideas? #
  • Thanks Twitter, you rock. Tomorrow I shall visit Mr Price home & Builders Warehouse. #
  • Ok, adding Ackermanns, Pep, Sheet Street & Game to the list. Thanks. #
  • The recently launched group buying site, Dealify, is offering movie tickets for R5 (with T's & C's obviously) http://bit.ly/mhVCMd #
  • RT @mydesio: A compact illustrated guide to mastering at-home brewing. Beer Craft http://bit.ly/lhVHi0 #

  • One of the reasons I'm sticking with BB RT: @Cherryflava: Cell phone bill is now a third of what it was since the iPhone was stolen. #
  • Especially after paying R1m for a tiny stand RT: @PrimitivVodka: @TasteofCT pls settle crown money owed, it's month end & we need to eat! #
  • RT: @JuicyJemma: Today is the FINAL day to enter the @NoMUChirps poster comp! MAJOR prizes to be won! More deets here: http://bit.ly/k3Yrrn #
  • This tyre deal is getting so much attention, I think it has basically 'pre-tipped' #groupbuying #

  • Interesting email from someone who bought a voucher from a big group buying site. They charged her but no voucher & no record of transaction #

  • Just unsubscribed from the BMW mailing list because I'm afraid if I see them use the word 'joy' one more time I will die inside. #
  • Russian cooking lesson postponed as chef has to go & cook for Russian president again! Which means I'm free for dinner at Buitenverwachting. #
  • My write up of my visit to Willow Creek olive farm including pics & a short video. It was a very informative visit http://bit.ly/ktC7DT #
  • Got a quote on my car insurance from Discovery. Looks like I'll be moving from Outsurance even though I'm < 12 months away from my Outbonus. #

  • Outsurance being very proactive, after my Tweet about moving to Discovery they called & offered 20% discount on my premium + free car hire. #

  • Nice one, boet RT @underthetableCT: I may be at #wackywine but I'm wearing my #LionLager shirt to keep it real #
  • Ah, the One & Only, I do love the smell of this place. Any tips on what to order from those who ate at Reuben's yesterday? #

  • Mains were pork belly with an amazing chilli&ginger sauce. Beautiful light gnocchi with sage, pumkin seeds, brown butter&parmesan #Reubens #
  • We were full, but shared the peppermint crisp dessert with hazelnut praline. Wow, best thing in ages http://twitpic.com/56ur9c #
  • To drink, they didn't have the Saxenberg shiraz, so we tipped our hat to the peeps enjoying shiraz & charcuterie at hartenberg with an '06. #
  • Now I have to digest that Reubens meal asap as have dinner at Vaudeville tonight. #

  • Settling in at Vaudeville. My date is the ever gorgeous @lipglossgirl and we're sharing a table with team @Mackspill. Food is arriving #help #
