BAKING
02 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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.” […]

OUR AFRIKAANS BROTHERS HAVE A GO… AT EVERYTHING
02 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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
01 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

MAY I HAVE A BRIEF WORD?
01 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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
28 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

THE WAY OF THE VIRUS
27 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

BUTLERS PIZZA AT THE CAPE GRACE
27 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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
26 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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.

26 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

RUGBY EXPO WORLD FIRST COMES TO AN END
25 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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
24 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

EX-PATS – TIDY UP YOUR SHIT
21 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

A DAY AT THE BEACH
21 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

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 […]

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE
19 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

FAIL
18 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

WEEKEND REVIEW AND A SQUIZZ AT THE DIARY
18 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

THE RESULT
14 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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..

MO-VEMBER
14 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]
