Yet another delightful Tea Party

I will always have a special spot for The Flamjangled Tea Party; although I am still but a freshman to this mircaously themed festival, I fell in love with what it represents and everything that it holds.

A mystical experience that is seldom found in an increasingly common Cape Tonian society, if you didn’t get Flamjangled this year, throw it on your bucket list immediately.

My salary for your parking bay

The parking situation and related costs are no foreign concepts to your average Cape Tonian; young professionals and recent graduates on their first job are imposed with the parking dilemma that could very possibly cost them a large portion of their exceptionally base salary.

This debate is even further heated up with the City Council current parking tender (being reviewed by the public during the month of March) that calls for after-hours parking control that will now too impose a cost in selected central areas of Cape Town.

A benefit to establishments at the despair of young workers, I review the current and proposed parking plans and contribute with a balanced suggestion of my own.

A mystical escape to the Masqued Ball

Masqued Ball has always been considered the last ‘big party’ of the season, so when the news of the venue having burnt down was announced a mere two weeks before the event hearts shattered across Cape Town as people began to question:

“Would there be no Masqued Ball 2012?”

Dapanji & Beartrap are my new favourite things

Yip, it was one of those parties; flawless, beautiful and insanely fun, Beartrap’s 10 year anniversary set the standards high this time around.

 From the music, the people, the transformed venue and the remarkable vibe –the grin on my face is here to stay.

Blowing one’s nose is forbidden at Steers

A group of us were prone to some bizarre customer service at Steers on Sunday, and it is due to such that i’ve sent them a letter.

It is these small things that puts the NoBucks team off places, yet we still enjoy mixing a little humour into our complaints.

Read the letter after the jump!

You Shall Not Blow Your Nose!
