So the petrol price hurtles over the R10 mark tomorrow with it’s chest out & the wind at its back. Now, where did I put that bus timetable? #

Know the trick where they block your remote signal so you think your car is locked but it isn’t? Happening in Canal Walk parking. Be careful #

Wondering what to do before Pecha Kucha at The Assembly tonight? Maybe go check out the free wine tasting at &Union at 6pm. #

It did look a bit strange… @gregwalshza: @relaxwithdax That’s Foschini with a “C” #

Long Street welcomes a Slug & Lettuce where Ultima Tapa was, & Sgt Pepper (of Stellenbosch fame) at no. 194. #

Remember the artist who crowd sourced Yellow Pages, Chris Swift? Coldplay drummer, Will Champion, bought 2 of his works http://t.co/4z9ltcHd #

I didn’t go to the Coldplay concert. Was hoping for an early night. But now I’ve been invited to party with the band after #sleepwhendead #

I think I’ve worked out why the sound system at Trinity was so expensive. It’s pretty damn impressive! #

Can’t say much for the DJ though, pretty amateur #Trinity #

Chatted to Will Champion, you’ll be interested to know his coffee spot of choice has been Deluxe #Coldplay #

The drinks at this Coldplay VIP jol are free. Which is awesome, but also (thinking about work tomorrow) not so awesome. #

If drunken arrangements happen, I’m cooking dinner for Coldplay at a friend’s house tonight. Was hoping to just recommend a good restaurant! #

And on a more serious note, Steve Jobs has died. That’s hectic. He worked right until the end. Hope he had good family time too. #

The 20 candidates for the 2012 Eat Out Top 10 restaurant awards have been announced… http://t.co/VfzvOEmk #

Re the bloggers meet up tonight, please RSVP on the FB event if you’re going as French Toast is a small venue http://t.co/Zi8Sq66S #

3 men defraud the compensation fund of nearly R4m, but their bail is set at R3000. Surely they could afford a lot more? #

I’m attending the Sunday Time Food Awards this evening. The food should be good http://t.co/i4Z157yu #

Not going to Rocking the Daisies this weekend? Then maybe Cook Franschhoek is more your thing http://t.co/WwdOZAmQ #

Winner of the Sunday Times chef & young chef of the year are from Test Kitchen & Planet restaurant. Some good work happening there obviously #

At Kirstenbosch stone cottages this weekend, the Swartland comes to you! Taste wine, olives, etc. Music, food & more http://t.co/pofgwDV1 #

Check out my article on CT food markets in New Age newspaper today http://t.co/tgmFb95v #

I always read Wendy Knowler’s Consumer Watch in the Cape Times and I’m always appalled at how dodgy companies are, & how they cheat the poor #

My review of the Oktober Bierfest. I managed to resist the urge to compare it to the craft beer festival http://t.co/7BgS8wQX #

Just RSVP’d for the Food Oscars (aka the Eat Out Awards) at the Bay Hotel on 20th November. Last year was a jol http://t.co/BMUlEeIn #

Flipsakes, there’s no denying hayfever season has arrived #sneezex10 #

Thanks to @LifeisSavage for introducing me to Mike’s Budget Barber in the Adelphi Centre. When you have as little hair as I do, R31 is right #

I find it annoying that my Fanatics reward coupons expire so quickly. Don’t know if this loyalty program is worth the effort #exclusivebooks #

Vodacom data in Seapoint is not working above Edge speeds. This is preventing me from working. I am not happy. #

Earlier I bought the new Tumi & the Volume CD, Pick a Dream. Listening to it now, it’s great http://t.co/17IRPAd0 #

They should make a series called Ad Busters where they do things they do in ads to see if they really work. Like wash stained clothes etc. #

Traffic Law Enforcement taking photos of cars that catch their attention on the N2 outbound at Liesbeek Parkway. #

Interesting article on factory farming in the latest Big Issue. Good response to DA’s quoted position on food security. #

Most don’t realise the true costs of factory farming. Eg. grain fed (feedlot) steak (500g) used 860L of water, 65x more than grass fed, etc #
