Never before has a Twitter account been so celebrated. For a man who has spent generations creating happiness and joy throughout the world, it makes absolute sense that The TBG should allow his legions of believers this unprecedented access to his divine and magical ways. What better way to get closer to the great man, […]

The last race, which took place in sub-zero Antarctica, saw Sandes take control of the the lead early on, and never relinquish it.

Hearken, The Cape Town Festival of Beer approaches. A lot of people have asked, does Cape Town really need another beer festival? We’d like to point out that what Cape Town is getting is a Festival of Beer, not a beer festival. What’s the difference? The former is sophisticated and fun. The latter never is. Now, would a certain 2oceansviber like a 2oceansvibe Festival of Beer special? You would? Click through for details.

It’s been just over a month since the last TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) sighting – that magical moment experienced by 2oceansviber Barry, at the Biscuit Mill. A certain calm has once again descended upon Cape Town, and anyone who attended this year’s Rocking the Daisies festival will agree that the same aura was felt in and around the town of Darling. It’s little wonder we received this latest TBG Sighting.
RetailEstateWeb just released the results of its annual property value survey, with some fairly interesting results. For a start, it’s obvious that The Fairest Remains just that, with seven out of the nations ten most valuable suburbs. Not shabby, hey?

It’s often said that moment captured with the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) is harder to come by, than a EuroMillions Lottery Jackpot win.

Unbelievable scenes this last week as the latest wave of TBG (Tall Blonde Guy)hysteria hits Cape Town. The revelation that The TBG was the inspiration for the recent Roger Federer Gillette commercial, really did own topical conversation this last wee.

Feeling a little bit wonky… When their students aren’t quibbling over gay kissing, UCT and Stellenbosch University are waging beer war. And beer is most certainly worth waging war over. Consider these wise words of wisdom from greater men than I: “You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline […]

Cape Town vibers, a little blue bird told me that South African muso Farryl Purkiss will be playing an exclusive, intimate gig at a chilled, private venue on the Atlantic Seaboard this evening. The first five vibers to email me (correct email after jump) get their name on the list, as well as the details […]
Unbelievable scenes this morning at vida e on Kloof Street, as this photo of the great man was tweeted by “king_si” and forwarded to the 2oceansvibe Twitter account. It’s been a while since The TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) has been spotted around town. No doubt he has been overseas somewhere, curing the sick and mending […]
No spice, the Dutch soccer team needs a place to stay. While the Uruguayans were getting an undeserved peaceful night’s sleep in Newlands (despite a small Twitter campaign calling for Capetonians to please “not” blow vuvuzelas and bang drums outside their rooms), the dutchies were bumming around the Cape of Good Hope looking for a […]
A new study suggests that people prefer to travel South. Real-world experiences underlie avoidance of northern routes, Brunyé proposes. Young children learn that as objects and locations get higher, they become harder to attain. Examples include reaching for a toy on the counter, climbing the stairs and jumping. An ingrained notion that “up is difficult” […]

2oceansvibe Character “The Surfer” (turned surf photographer), AKA Anthony Fox, has nailed it again with his fish like skills behind the camera. Not that fish are good at taking photographs, but because he is usually in the middle of a wave with a board coming towards his nose as he snaps the shots! His gallery […]
The universe’s settings ensure that 2oceansvibe and the vibe in general will always prevail. Take for example this new Betwaycom commercial, which features no only 2oceansvibe Character G-Man, but also previous 2oceansvibe WeatherGirl, Lisa Cowley!

We have only recently been made aware of this con that is going on around town and are not sure how long it has been going on for. It appears that someone is trying to impersonate one of 2oceansvibe’s leading Characters, “G-MAN.” The first incident came in the comments section of the infamous Portofino article. […]
I know, it’s been a while since we were graced by the presence of the great man. Nearly a full month, if you go by the last sighting of him featured on the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) Sightings page. But I wasn’t worried. After all, we know that He will always be there. It’s no […]
It is interesting to note that the TBG’s (Tall Blonde Guy’s) fame has reached such biblical proportions that we are now at a point where a pic of him on the phone in the street is just as newsworthy as personal interaction photographs/reports with civilians.
