Twitter Weekly Updates for 2012-04-08

About 10 full page ads by big banks in the Sunday Times re fees. Meanwhile, I've saved over R5000 in fees in 2 years by moving to Capitec. #

The amount I save in bank fees with Capitec in 1 year is more than my Outbonus after 3 years with Outsurance #Perspective #

Gourmet meat free monday at Catharina's on Steenberg tonight with Slow Food Mother City. Also keen to see the new champagne bar… #

Just ordered my new laptop. A Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 220s. My inner geek is very excited but to the outside world I appear ambivalent. #

RT @whalecottage: Valora on Loop Street has closed down. #

8ta has extended the 'Midnight Surfer' window, it starts at 11pm instead of midnight now. Still ends at 5am http://t.co/4TpMimeB #

Richard's Stage & Bistro on cnr of Glengariff & Main Rd in Sea Point is officially open. Free wi fi, apparently. #

Also, new bar/restaurant called The Orphanage on cnr of Bree & Orphan streets in town. #

I was quoted in Die Burger today. It's an article about last night's episode of Masterchef SA http://t.co/2EEze12d #

It's gonna be a crazy weekend! I've just taken delivery of a box of rad looking Original Shaken premix cocktails http://t.co/eU0998br #

I hope the other networks copy 8ta and make midnight surfing start earlier. Would love my sleep patterns to return to normal. #

For those that struggle with Afrikaans & so couldn't read the Die Burger article which quoted me,it's online in English http://t.co/xp6uIlm2 #

I've noticed some events using Nite Owls as their sober chauffeur service. I wonder why they choose them out of the 13 available options? #

Tjekking out Tjing a ling. Packed. #

Did you know that Tjing Tjing is about the music? Next time, take a listen. You won't recognise many tracks but you'll enjoy them all. #

Definitely gonna start a website which lists which restaurants are open or closed on any given public holiday. Off to try option no. 3! #

Fairly decent breakfast at Cafe Milano. It was buzzing, and so was Manna next door & Cafe Paradiso over the road. #

Just watched This Is It, the documentary of Michael Jackson's final concert.So sad that he didn't get to share his masterpiece with his fans #

Post lunch tequila, this is some quality stuff. Good enough to sip http://t.co/LM68H0s8 #

Dinner in Franschhoek tonight. Anybody know of any good options for pre drinks that will be open today? #

Just enjoyed a bottle of Big G at Holden Manz. Lovely wine, 50% cab sav & 50% cab franc. Great looking estate, must visit in the day. #

Dinner at Le Bon Vivant in Franschhoek. Been impressed with the food, awaiting soufflé for dessert. Service a little rough around the edges. #
