Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-09-18

Cars driving slowly in the fast lane irritates me, but drivers who flick their cigarette butts out of their cars enrages me #WantToSmashThem #

I see Symphonic Rocks is on the Saturday of the Oktoberfest at Newlands Brewery. That's not ideal. Skip it or go to beer fest on Sunday? #

Just a reminder, while we are being bombarded with Appletiser adverts, that due to the new plastic bottle, it's no longer preservative free. #

Want your favourite small producer or outlet to have some recognition? Nominate them for the Eat In awards http://t.co/zPxzB5S #

My brief but useful review of Fiddler on Roof, currently showing at the Artscape http://t.co/5Ejf6xl #

Another Damned Food Blog pays some respect to Dias Tavern http://t.co/2GNfZoQ #

Just saw a duck on the side of the N2 as you come out of town. It looked so out of place, I wonder how it got there. #

Just had amazing barrel tasting with winemaker, JD, at Steenberg. The 2011 vintage is going to be spectacular for white & red. Tip: semillon #

We're lunching at Bistro 1682. JD grabbed a bottle of MCC straight off the degorging line (see cork) http://t.co/TcaW0o7 #

Another great lunch at Bistro 1682. My tips: don't worry about the veal or chicken. Have seafood veloute (superb), brandade, duck or tataki. #

Hearing some positive comments about a newish restaurant in Loop Street, called Valora. Will have to investigate. #

Doing the wine tasting at &Union tonight, then off to dinner at Roberto's (ex On Broadway restaurant) http://t.co/12R8rHu #

RT @midakirova: End of Krone bubbly? RT @AngelaLloyd1: TweeJonge Gezellen placed under liquidation due to loss of bubbly from faulty bottles #

Awesome, we're tasting Lynx wines at &Union. Cab Franc, which I love. Viognier of which I recall enjoying a previous vintage & shiraz. #

I wonder if it's possible to take a month off from Relax With Dax. No restaurants, no wine tastings, no events. Just gym & early nights… #

I see that Metro Cops are parking unmarked cars on the side of the road for trapping instead of the usual police cars. Very sneaky. #

MTN BB users might be interested to know that MTN seems to have implemented throttling like Vodacom plans to http://t.co/QeGa6KB #

Obviously tenders awarded to family of government officials should get special scrutiny. They're not serious about tackling corruption. #

People keep telling me that chocolate tequila is big overseas, they will be pleased to know that Olmeca has launched it in SA now. #

Expect geeky tweets today, I'm at Wordcamp CT. Follow #wcct for all the action. Here's the schedule http://t.co/Ix9gNjwT #

Highlights from Wordcamp have been the presentation on developing community by Fred Roed (of World Wide Creative) & a beer at Paulaner #WCCT #

Looking forward to the Global Party at Fez tonight. Everyone seems to be going. Imagine how cool it would be if it was a non smoking venue! #

New group buying site, http://www.flook.co.za focuses on sport related deals, but won't let you view deals without registering #irritating #

Am I going mad or is the Wheel of Excellence back up at the Waterfront? #

The Fez is packed with good looking people. I'm glad I arrived with 3 hot women on my arm to help me fit in #GlobalParty #

Wow, Goodluck performed live at the global party. They are awesome! My only regret is that I've only arrived home now and it's past 3am… #

I received some chenin & pinotage from Spier. Their top tier wines have been rebranded as 21 Gables http://t.co/ImnspPLx #

The Look & Feel Good Expo is at the ICC from today through to Sunday http://t.co/fo6hrcuV #

Check out this Fair Lady article for my thoughts on dealing with people who post negative comments on a blog http://t.co/iRMuAeA9 #

I'm glad I stopped buying the Hotel Costes series of CDs. Like the Cafe Del Mar series, they started awesomely then just got worse & worse. #

What to do when two separate people tell you 'in confidence' about an awesome new idea they are working on, but it's the same idea? #

Having some dinner & Ladera wine at Toro wine bar with @CTmylove. This anti pasti plate looks good! http://t.co/NxY9Plcv #

Off to Eastern Cape for a week just now for work. Don't think I've flown into East London before. Hope this weather won't create turbulence. #
