It’s all getting a bit much with regards to the “optional extras” one can add to one’s superyacht. Just ask Chelsea Football Club owner, Roman Abramovich, whose costs for his new boat, Eclipse, have doubled in the last three years to a cool £724m. That’s R8.7 billion. For a boat. I have no doubt it […]

Life isn’t fair. Whiskey prices are at an all-time high. Women are branded as men. Elton John can’t adopt and Eskom bosses get disgusting bonuses. That’s just the way it is. We have to accept it. What we shouldn’t have to accept, however, is the fact that not a single Proteas name made it onto […]

Everyone’s trying to keep it a secret, but it’s pretty difficult to hide the fact that Vanessa Haywood, the star of the biggest movie in the world at the moment, District 9, is in Cape Town. Why is she in Cape Town? Oh…just to quietly shoot the cover of SA Elle Magazine! Now we’re talking! […]

Well, I tell you what, it’s a BIG moment for South African media. While 2oceansvibe isn’t shy to throw around the odd “shit” here and the odd “fuck” there, I don’t think we have thrown around the “C” word for a number of years. News24, have obviously decided to up the ante by happily publishing […]

It’s amazing how the world of sport ebbs and flows. This time last week I was drunk. Wait, that’s still the same. This time last week I was perched proudly on my soapbox, preaching to the world about Springbok infallibility. I was also quietly optimistic about Bafana’s match up against Deutschland and very confident about […]

Stay tuned..   Our boy   Wiki tells us:   Silvio Berlusconi (born 29 September 1936) is an Italian politician, entrepreneur, real estate and […]

Sources for this story came from a newspaper. Crime refugee Brandon Huntley’s estranged Canadian wife believes he “suckered” her into marriage in a bid to secure permanent residence in her country. And mother-of-two Melanie Crete-Huntley has reacted with shock to Huntley’s claims to the Canadian Immigration Board that he separated from her – after she […]

Traditional media is under the spotlight again today. This, not long after our recent article discussing local traditional advertising agencies and their thirst for awards vs. actually getting their client’s message out and connecting with consumers (here). A large number of you would have first read about Brandon Huntley, the 31 year old white man […]

South Africa is a complicated place. The mind boggles at some of the stuff that goes down here- strikes, senseless killings, corruption and divided politics are things that we, as South Africans, deal with on a daily basis. It has apparently gotten so bad, that certain individuals qualify for refugee status abroad. But watching the […]

No, I’m not joking. Seriously. Pinch yourself. See? It hurts. I wouldn’t lie to you, my baby. This is real life and it’s real time.   See? It’s real!   I seriously hope I don’t need to introduce this rabble to you. Because, for me, I feel like I’m stuck in some kind of nativity […]

I popped into Cafe Roux in Noordhoek the other day. I just love the place (even though they don’t yet stock De Grendel wine) because you never quite know what you’re going to get – be it the patronage and/or the surroundings. Last Sunday, for example, featured what could only be described as “Aladdin’s Grandmother” […]

How anyone can watch soap operas is beyond me. They’re unrealistic and they drag on forever. Marlena on Days of our Lives, for example, spent her life dead, in a coma, kidnapped or possessed by the devil. That’s no way to live! And besides, who needs a soap opera when you have real-life, exciting drama […]

Victory, we all know, is sweet at the best of times. Victory against the Wallabies, on the other hand, is similar to three courses of dessert followed by…you guessed it, dessert. Perhaps the only thing better than beating the Aussies at rugby is beating them at cricket, and after two wins against the All Blacks, […]

I’ve been toying with this Pussy Natural Energy Drink for a while. You’ll remember the first mention of the energy drink was in one of the 2oceansvibe Weather Girls shows with the smoking hot Genevieve Morton (here and here). You see, the guys at Pussy (www.pussydrinks.com) were trying to get me to drink it for […]

I trust you caught the article the other day about how Obama unwittingly helped promote the new Rugby World Cup movie, after Nelson Mandela SUDDENLY received an ESPY award for his connection to sport some 15 years ago?

The Spar on Kloof, which is famous for its loose Russians (here) is now diversifying even further into the realm of hilariousness with their latest product line – Ass Rolls..   (Thanks Delamaine) Very interesting vibe they’re going for there. It’s ironic that corbohydrates are usually blamed for the extra weight people put on in […]

It’s interesting to note that Dirty Skirts lead guitarist, David Moffatt, sent this in. Michael Jackson is obviously one of his major influences – I had no idea. I’ve been given their latest album another listen, trying to pic up some MJ flavour…. but I can’t find it. But Dave does dance sexy – so […]

Paul from 1800 restaurant downstairs at the Cape Royale (click that if you haven’t seen this place yet) made a call to my room on Sunday night – “Thanks for the Butlers Pizza” he said, “the staff are all feeling the vibe.” Aah, good, the 10 larges had obviously arrived! Wonderful. They’ve got a lovely […]

It was too easy yesterday. I popped into Vida e on Kloof Road and then waltzed over to Mabu Vinyl, just opposite (in the road leading into the Vida entrance – Rheede Street) to pick up some records. I called the owner, Sugar, from the South of France on the day that Michael Jackson died. […]

I don’t know too much about wine, to be quite honest. I drink wine that I think tastes good and that’s probably why I’ve settled for De Grendel wine. Quality stuff, easy drinking and affordable – with all the awards to boot (just in case there is a wine snob in the room!). The oldest […]
