Just been reading the mudslinging between the Isolation.tv blog and Linda Thompson of the One Minute Trolley Dash blog…
All I can say is sjoe!
A real dog (cat??) fight amongst the SA muso’s.

Ok I’ll admit I’m a little bored blogging at weird hours of the day but anyways I have a question about something that came up yesterday:
Where are the really GREAT restaurants in SA?!
Now obviously this has a lot to do with personal taste but I thought it might be fun to make some suggestions for restaurants in various Provinces that people could try when they land up in different cities in SA?
Now remember I said GREAT - good restaurants, there are plenty of. GREAT implies that they have that special “Have to try” atmosphere. I think if you look at my picks below you’ll realise how different the various places are - not necessarily LARNY food or facilities - but they all have a GREAT atmosphere.
The 3 that I could think of after limited soul searching were:
1. Quay4 at the Watefront in Cape Town - for me this is the highlight of Cape Town - Yum!
2. Maharaj Indian Restaurant in Sloane Street in Gauteng - I challenge anyone to find a better Indian restaurant in SA
3. The Jolly Roger in Greenside in Gauteng - I can’t tell you what the appeal of the Jolly Roger is but its one of those places that you simply keep going back to.
Give me your suggestions below.

I didn’t see it but I have watched the blog aggregators in the last few days and Kurt Darren’s name keeps popping up…
Apparently Eddie Grant made a right royal twit out of Darren by telling the whole world that Darren was “Really famous” back in SA… Shame - do you think this has killed Darren’s cheesy confidence?

I posted this on one of my other blogs but I would be really interested to see if there are any Green Day fans out there who can answer my 2 questions below…

2. Who is St Jimmy?
Lets see who the fans are…

I meant to blog about it the other day when I heard that KB standing in for Fresh in the afternoon….
KB has impressed me a lot in the last few weeks. He has stood in for Fresh and Gareth Cliff and he seems to have good balance to his shows. These are both seriously big shoes to fill and he’s done well. I think a big part of his strength is that he isn’t trying too hard - he is just being natural and its working for him.
Good on you mate!

A quick plug for an important function taking place this evening, that needs as much support as possible. Pirates Sports Club in Greenside has their monthly club draw and drinks specials this evening.
Its a great social evening and open to all visitors who are looking for somewhere cheap to drink, to dance and to eat. The club is on a mission to get younger people back into the club and it would be great to see some more new young faces partying up a storm. Hope we’ve convinced you!

I obviously missed something but I just heard the goodbye tribute to Ruben Goldeberg on 5FM…
Pity - a true radio legend finally taking a well deserved break…

The reinvention of Darren Scott on 94.2 Jacaranda as “Just Plain” has been an intriguing transformation. He has gone from a relatively “flat” personality into something that MIGHT almost be interpreted as ‘cool’.
Personally I dont enjoy / listen to his show but just Google his name or check out the tags on the blog aggregators and you will see how he has adapted.

I haven’t listened to UJ FM in a while and when I picked it up on my radio this morning, I realised just how good these university stations are. There is plenty of radio talent out there and the music is seriously good.
Dunno what your take is on local university radio stations but between Tuks FM and UJ FM, I think there is some really enjoyable radio out there.
