PARIS HILTON THROWING OUT WHOLE NEW VIBE
I see. And a bit of tartan on the top? Fine. Rack looking good. Knees a bit knobbly. Still fine though. You would.
P DIDDY MAKES MOVIE FOR NEW FRAGRANCE – I AM KING
You would never be expected to get your head around it, so don’t even try – I would never put that much pressure on you. Puff Daddy has just launched his new fragrance called “I AM KING” which falls under his Sean John clothing brand. He felt it necessary to make a 5 minute mini-movie […]
HELMETS IN PUBLIC EPIDEMIC SPREADS
We recently covered a couple cases of various individuals wearing helmets in public (here and here). The phenomena and social inadequacy seems to have spread further – this time, air travel. Pete L’s mate sent him these pics he took somewhere in the East, boarding a Vietnam Airlines plane. Come now Absolutely no problem […]

Camps Bay Stress Central
2OCEANSVIBE LUV SPORT TEAM WIN THE BOWLS
Sunday brought the final day of the Movember initiative – which was celebrated with a day of bowls at the Fresnaye Bowling Club. A stunning day for it, what! But it wasn’t just a DAY at the bowling club, it was a chance to walk away with The Balls of Glory. The […]
JESSICA ALBA IN CAMPARI CALENDAR
I am absolutely FINE with these new pics of post-baby Jessica Alba in the new 2009 Campari Calendar. I just LOVE Campari’s vibe – the logo, the colours.. And the UMBRELLAS! Like you see in those old Bond films. At those coffee shops, with men and women dressed in linen, wearing boating shoes.. […]
IS CAMPS BAY STUCK UP?
So yesterday I received an email from one of my special readers, informing me of the shit storm brewing over at gotravel24. Someone had written an article entitled “I Love Camps Bay” (good one) and gave a breakdown of why they enjoyed Camps Bay and the various places to see and things to do. The […]
BRITNEY CELEBRATES HER BIRTHDAY IN LONDON
I was trying to write you another article but something is stopping me from getting it done, so I thought I’d give you this instead. I just read that Britney was in awe of Simon Cowell when she recently visited the X-Factor show in London. He said: “This may be a bit egotistical, but I […]
BAKING
Spotted this in Kloof this morning on a way to a meeting with incredibly powerful people. I thought I would follow through and check out the Bible reference. This is what Matthew 6:33 beholds: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” […]
DO YOU HAVE A BIG BLANK SPACE UNDER THE FIRST ARTICLE?
Just a general notice, really. I very much doubt it will be funny or anything. It’s just a bit of help. A number of people have been telling me that they’re getting an incredibly big section of empty white space under the first article on this very website, 2oceansvibe. I was aware of it because […]
OUR AFRIKAANS BROTHERS HAVE A GO… AT EVERYTHING
I read and enjoyed the original Is it Just Me or is Everything Shit, which I was given as a gift, and it remains satisfying reading for guests and the various Heads of State who visit The Safe House. There was also a local one that was published in the last couple of years called […]
FROM THE OTHER SIDE
I made up a saying a while ago and it goes, “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” Once again, another one of my sayings are proven, as you will see below. Earlier on we brought you breaking news of the bus on fire on Hertzog Blvd. in central Cape Town. Those pics came, as usual, from […]
BUS ON FIRE
Oh my good Lord! We have just received these pictures live from one of our many MANY intrepid readers who send in shit that matters. Taken in Cape Town city off Hertzog Boulevard, this, like, JUST happened. Check it out. Feeling hot hot hot.. Spontaneous combustion? There’s not much more that you can […]
MAY I HAVE A BRIEF WORD?
Now, I’m sure we’ve chatted before about this. Or maybe we merely touched on it. And this is the subject of numberplates. The CA plates versus the WP plates, to be more specific. There seems to be a bit of confusion amongst foreigners and locals alike, when it comes to the various plates. People refer […]
FROM THE MO CAPTAIN
I received the following email from The Good Doctor, who also happens to be one of the intrepid organisers of South Africa’s Mo-Vember cause: “Men are being called to participate in a playful awareness month to highlight health issues specific to men, and raise money for the CANSA organization, simply by growing their moustaches during […]
COMMONLAW UNIONS BEWARE
I thought it pertinent to mention this story, given that tonight’s MegaMillions lottery is sitting at $111,000,000 (R1.1 Billion jackpot) Check this out: Woman Demands Lotto Winnings From Man She Separated From In 1982 Seems like a cool chick POLK COUNTY, Fla. — A Polk County man won nearly $2 million in […]
NOT IDEAL
As a Nedbank client I must say I am a little perturbed at the state of the main sign of Nedbank’s Waterfront head office. Forming a part of my views from my suite at The Cape Grace Hotel, it’s beginning to annoy. Poofey Is that what happens when too many cheques bounce?
SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO HUNT REINDEER
I wake up, thinking of cool, knowing that you want me to remain cool. It concerns be, maintaining coolness – for you, for your image of me. That is why I go to the cupboard and I load my gun. I load my goddamned rifle and I head out the door. I then spend up […]
THE WAY OF THE VIRUS
I am “between” laptops at the moment and am using an old beast (not too old – running XP) I had locked in a cupboard far far away. Apart from the trip down memory lane, courtesy of the old pictures and videos I found on the hard drive (not very good quality – the size […]
HARD COMMENTARY
Whilst Matthew Pearce and Kobus Wiese (with his incredibly strained voice and abysmal English) have succeeded in sidelining Hugh Bladen and have taken South African commentating to another level altogether. Exactly what level that is, is a discussion for another day. But, nonetheless, the subject of sports commentary is fresh in the air. There is […]
BUTLERS PIZZA AT THE CAPE GRACE
With a fridge filled with Jack Black upon arrival, I realised The Cape Grace were on the right track and should therefore experience even more of the 2oceansvibe. That is why I ordered Butlers Pizza on Friday night for myself – and threw in another human-height pile of pizzas for the Cape Grace staff. […]
REPEAT OFFENDERS
Pavlov’s dogs learnt faster than this. Nice helmet Your friend’s balls are also very impressive Our social etiquette teachings are clearly far from over, as the exact same two cyclists from the last improper cyclist behaviour article are spotted again at Giovanni’s – and again the one fellow doesn’t understand the no-helmet rule. […]
WHEEL CLAMPS, SIGNS ETC.
The other morning’s festivities, which included The Muse getting her car clamped at my current residence, The Cape Grace Hotel in Cape Town; resulted in a great response from the 2oceansvibe community. Including this BEAUTIFUL photograph, taken by the equally beautiful Nicole B. Absolutely fine Now that’s the kind of sign The Muse […]
THE COUNTRY ROAD GIRL
Yes, interestingly enough, I managed to get my hands on the Country Road 2008 Summer Catalogue . And, I tell you what, I was glad that I did. Please enjoy the absolutely ANGEL they are using for the entire ladies section! Helloooo, my laydeh! Hey!? Are you ok with that? And please, there […]
PLAY GARDEN CRICKET AT YOUR DESK!
The guys that designed 2oceansvibe, HelloComputer, have just finished a new project for MTN, called the MTN Backyard Series. They’ve made an online game which is, honestly, as close as you can get to a proper game of garden cricket (or “stump” as it’s called in the Southern Suburbs) within the confines of your office. […]
RUGBY EXPO WORLD FIRST COMES TO AN END
Whilst Martin Johnson is probably still reeling from the pounding he got on Saturday, it seems rugby in England has managed to excel in other forms. Remember in August when I told you about the inaugural Rugby Expo? Ja, well it happened – and it was a RAGING success by all accounts. With […]
NIC MARAIS DOES THE WEATHER
2oceansvibe Character and ex-KFM morning-show disc jockey (try saying that with a straight face), Nic Marais (AKA The DJ), has gone off to study law at Yale. People are usually pretty impressed when I tell them that, after they ask me why he is no longer hosting Cape Town’s biggest breakfast show. That’s when I […]
MARTIN JOHNSON RESTRAINS HIMSELF
I received a call from Dave after the Springboks drilled England 6-42 on Saturday (congas to Barndog and the boys). He mentioned something about the post match interview with and something about a vindictive little journalist. I searched for it on the “internet” but it was too soon after the event to find anything. Naturally […]
GOOD MORNING
I had so much to tell you, which I will be focusing on later. As you know, I moved into my suite at the Cape Grace hotel on Saturday. “Our 2 Bedroom Suites epitomise luxurious home-from-home comforts and are ideal for families or friends travelling together. These spacious suites feature two private en-suite bedrooms and […]
