Whilst one may deem it a tad rude, one should also remember that it does still fall into a category which we call, “quality humour.” Clever [thanks charl]

LUV SPORT SPICY GUY APPEARS AGAIN
It’s been two weeks in a row now that the Luv Sport Spicy Dancing Guy has appeared at the end of the show. He comes out of the studio audience, as if by magic, and proceeds to gyrate in front of the live band, whilst the rest of the studio audience get autographs from the […]
PLEASE NO MORE
Oh my goodness, we have gone FULL CIRCLE! We learnt about the website which displays photos of upside down dogs, which was followed up quite neatly with the photo of Spice, the exhibitionist hound; as well as the untimely death of a reader’s upside down dog. I even received an email from a local guy […]
EX-PATS – TIDY UP YOUR SHIT
I really wish we had these things in my day in London. My God, we hoarded a lot of crap. I remember carting a life-size Scooby Doo cardboard cut-out from digs to digs, all over London – along with the other crap (larva lamp included). I never did see the irony in boasting that the […]
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER LIVES IN A MOVIE, IN REAL LIFE, IN A MOVIE
The old debate of whether life imitates art, or vice versa, has been thrown into another dimension this week. I mean, it was one thing for Arnold Schwarzenegger to become the Governor of California; but for him to deliver quotes like he did this week, well…. it’s just taking the piss really. This, From SKY […]
EDDIE IZZARD DOES CHRISTOPHER WALKEN
I hope you didn’t think about that headline in a naughty way. That would be very naughty indeed. And childish. G-Man and The Dude told me about this stand up bit of Eddie Izzard doing a Christopher Walken impression. I like this guy. He makes me laugh. I haven’t laughed in years. Great to be […]
A DAY AT THE BEACH
We mentioned on Wednesday that it would be 35 degrees on Thursday (yesterday). It was. It started with lunch at Caprice, and then it moved onto the beach. And then it came back again. It was a whirlwind. Like a whirlwind romance, but with no romance – just booze and bodies and extravagance and extreme […]
SPITZER WHORE UPDATE
We chatted some time ago (article here) about when the governer of New York, Eliot Spitzer, was caught banging prostitutes. One prostitute in particular – Ashley Dupre. Do you remember that story? Ja well that was in March – it’s November now and I think we should have a look at how she is keeping. […]

IT FEELS LIKE IT DID THE FIRST TIME
You will recall the sheer childlike exuberance I expressed the day I bought my Louis Vuitton shades (click here for that story), back in July. then imagine the sheer heartbreak I felt when those very sunglasses BROKE last week on Wednesday. The actual frame broke – not an arm or anything minor – the fucking […]
PARIS ATTENDS SETH ROTHERHAM ALBUM LAUNCH
Some of you won’t be aware that I recently launched a CD in the US. It’s called The Crayfish by Seth Rotherham. Check it out. Paris Hilton shows off her copy of “The Crayfish” Now that is obviously a load of twak. Everyone knows that my CD hasn’t been released yet. And anyway, […]
£8 MILLION DISCOUNT
I must say, with Friday’s Mega-Millions lottery sitting at $86 Million (just under R1 Billion), I am thinking quite seriously about this little number. Check it out. Billionaire to throw the helipad in for free… superyacht sale giveaway Desperate to complete a swift sale, the owner of one of the world’s most opulent yachts is […]
35 DEGREES TOMORROW
Whilst the cyclists carry on with their rant, we need to focus on more important things, like the weather. It’s 35 degrees tomorrow!HATING THAT! Hmm… I sense a Caprice lunch coming on.
SHIMANO BOYS UP IN ARMS
It seems yesterday’s post about cyclists wearing helmets in public places has caused a furore of sorts at the SA cycling Mecca, TheHubSA. The Hub SA – The cyclists’ place of worship Whilst the five pages of message board rants hasn’t eclipsed the previous record of 15, it seems to be gaining momentum. […]
I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE
I popped into Societi Restaurant on Orange Street in Gardens this morning for some creative writing with Iron Mike, and spotted this sign. “It’s a life’s tile“ See what they did there? They took the word “lifestyle” and changed it, to incorporate their product. ‘Cos they sell tiles, you see. So it becomes […]
2OCEANSVIBE LUV SPORT MOUSTACHE TEAM COMING ALONG NICELY

FAIL
I think the best way to put it into perspective would be to think back to school days when the bullies used to put “KICK ME” stickers on the back of the geeks’ blazers, and they would get “gat-skops” all day without realising why. Only this time the geeks have put the stickers on themselves […]
PUT ANOTHER BRANDED SHRIMP ON THE BARBIE
As the folks pack up in Oz and head off to Provence to add the final touches to the bastide, a moment was spared to scan a page from an Australian magazine and email it to me. This time, it was an ad for Christmas “gifts for him.” which included the BBQ Brand and the […]
WEEKEND REVIEW AND A SQUIZZ AT THE DIARY
After a stunning meal at The Grand in Camps Bay on Friday night (with emphasis on the food, rather than the service) and a solid toot at Caprice, Saturday’s weather followed through without effort. A stunning day was had at The Entrepreneur’s pile, as we indulged in some surf and turf spectator action; with the […]
REST IN PEACE, LULU
Some of you will have been fortunate enough to have read and followed through with last week’s article about Upside Down Dogs – www.upsidedowndogs.com – a website showcasing photos of upside down dogs from around the world. As anticipated, and as with most things on 2oceansvibe, the response was electric; soliciting fan email including a […]

He is collecting presents and will be delivering them to the Red Cross Children’s hospital for all the kids who will be spending Christmas behind bars […]
THE RESULT
After the hurricanes that hit Cape Town this week (see earlier posts including trucks getting blown over outside Caprice), I am pleased to announce that everything is back to normal. This, taken today at 15h00. Utter splendour And where exactly was that taken, I hear you ask? Watch this space..
HILTS PUMPING
She’s got a good hold of that pump. She’s a pro And how do we know it’s her? Her foot has never been the same since the accident Because it SAYS SO on her shirt! Duh!
MO-VEMBER
During Mo-vember (the month formerly known as November) I’m growing a Mo. That’s right I’m bringing the Mo back because I’m passionate about tackling men’s health issues and being proactive in the fight against prostate and testicular cancer. So not only do you get to support a worthy cause, but you get to humiliate me […]
THE ONE-PIECE COSTUME

CAPE TOWN DAIM SUPPLIES RUN LOW
Given that it is the best chocolate on planet Earth, the scarcity of Daim Chocolate bars in Cape Town is becoming more and more alarming. Every time I can’t find it in its usual haunts (Giovanni’s, Carlucci’s etc.) I pretend that it must just be a one-off. But then, on the fifth time, I get […]
MORE ATTRACTIVE DOG POSES
The Barndog sent this in and I remember him telling me about this dog. It’s quite a famous dog, actually, name Spice. Spice chills the fuck out on the sofa in a restaurant in Durbs called, you guessed it, Spice. The photo was taken from his table. I think it’s absolutely fine, as a view, […]
