NUMBER PLATE ROUNDUP
16 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Wow! This numberplate fetish seems to have really taken off with you lot! I have never received such a solid stream of emails relating to one topic in my life. Well, this life, that is. I received LOADS in my past life as a 16th century prince, but we didn’t have email then. I received […]

NEW COOL WAYS TO SAY HI
16 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I was hanging with G-Man at his pad yesterday and we decided that now would be very good time to introduce you to a new way to say hi. We think you’re ready for it. High-fives are out (just ask Ryan Seacrest), and so are fisties. That’s why we’re going for the ” SLAP, SNAP […]

VERY MELLOW BLONDE RACIST VIBE
15 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I was watching the Louis Theroux interview series on DVD earlier this week. You remember I mentioned DVD Nouveau the other day, right? Ja, so the Louis Theroux series comes highly recommended. By me. That’s right. El stampo of approvio. So anyway, in the one episode, Louis goes to white racist America and spends time […]

15 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Apparently Oyo restaurant at the V&A Waterfront are chasing cyclists away like “pests” and telling them that no more cyclists will be served. I swear. This is not the actual cyclist in question.

VICTORIA BECKHAM’S ARMANI CAMPAIGN
15 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
You’ll remember around October last year when Posh managed to nail a multi-million dollar campaign for Emporio Armani women’s underwear. So anyway, the first of those ads have started to appear in the states. I thought you might enjoy these: Underwear, high-heels, rug, in the sun I’m fine with that Slightly angry – primed […]

LATE TWENTIES, NO CLOUDS, NO WIND
15 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I thought you’d enjoy this quick focus on Cape Town’s weather in days to come. Tragic, really. Shame It’s pretty straightforward, I think you’ll find. All meetings, if any, should be conducted on the Atlantic Seaboard. Basic stuff. Coffee should be drunk at Vida e in Camps Bay. That’s a given. Lunches, dinner […]

ANGELS AT THE QUEEN’S PLATE
14 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It would be somewhat out of line not to mention some of the angels on display at last Saturday’s 148th running of the Queen’s Plate. Slightly off the mark in black, rather than blue and white, the ever stylish Gina Athens did particularly well with this short knitted dress. Hat and shades combo also gets […]

GAME STORES NOW SELLING FUCKSWARE PRODUCTS
14 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I don’t know what is more alarming – the fact that the manufacturer would give their product a name that can be so easily mistaken for a swear word (Fuchsware), or the fact that the person writing the sign didn’t double check the spelling. Nonetheless, the result is quite stunning. This, spotted in a local […]

THE ROUNDHOUSE RESTAURANT IN CAMPS BAY
13 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It’s no coincidence that the owners of The Roundhouse Restaurant in Camps Bay also own the company that trains the staff at the 5-star Cape Grace Hotel . It is to this end that Fasie Malherbe and his team seem to stop at nothing to ensure you experience service never seen before in any Cape […]

‘PIRATES’ IN HOUT BAY BANS CYCLING HELMETS
13 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
As the trend for zero tolerence when it comes to cyclist’s wearing their helmets in public grows, it is interesting to note that some establishments have now made it law. This, found on the menu at Pirates in Hout Bay. 2oceansvibe and Cape Town as a whole, applaud Pirates I must say, my […]

THE BEST DARN DVD STORE IN CAPE TOWN
12 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It was a couple months back that the Interior Decorator told me that I “simply HAVE to visit DVD Nouveau” on Bree Street in Cape Town. She told me about their incredible selection of DVD’s for rent, including every series and all the classics. I looked for the shop, but I couldn’t find it and […]

THE MISSING LINK – CA 2
12 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
So we’ve chatted about various car number plates on these pages and, in particular, the pretenders out there, specifically those who include CA at the beginning of their WP plates (here and here). As suggested before, the idea is to get as close as possible to the purest of the pure – the single digit […]

$150,000 A YEAR TO CHILL ON AN ISLAND
12 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I like the sound of this. As the “credit crunch” hits and people begin to think out the box, it’s good to see some people are embracing the 2oceansvibe concept of “Work is a sideline, live the holiday.” Some of you might be interested in this little job opportunity: Island caretaker job offer: get […]

NUMBER PLATE QUALITY HUMOUR
12 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I throughly enjoyed this little number sent in by Dave L: Hi Seth, I thought you would enjoy this one. Jerry Barnard (the muso) asked me to look after his car while he was away, so I made a few modifications to it, look carefully and see if you can spot them. Stunning […]

A QUICK FRENCH WEATHER REPORT
09 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
My folks sent me this pic outside the house in Ménerbes. It’s pretty much exactly the opposite of the weather we’re having in Cape Town. Provence – right now Shopping becomes tricky.. It should be noted that, besides being home to such notables as director Ridley Scott, the mayor of Ménerbes happens to be […]

Four words – Fuck The Credit Crunch. Those of you who entered the Kika-Sack competition (competition is now closed, btw) earlier this week will know that there was a consolation prize for those who entered but didn’t win; of a free voucher to this week’s Euromillions Lottery.

Well this is just great! I received an email from Warren L, telling me about some statue on a rock and this accompanying iol article.

THE FIRST TBG SIGHTING OF 2009
08 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’ve had this for a few days but just wanted the dust to settle before blowing your minds again, with this, the first TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) sighting of 2009. Andreas’s life changed forever that night, as destiny and the universe joined for one purpose and one purpose alone – to give him the one […]

I’ll be honest, it’s actually 10 at night and I’ve timed this article to come out in the morning, to grace you with more pearls of glory. Good morning! It all started at 1pm, you see. At La Perla. A boys lunch. It was me, “The Big H” and “The Dude” (fresh from his Kika-Sack […]

THE TBG AND THE DUDE GET KIKA-SACK RECORD
07 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I was very impressed when the box of 2oceansvibe Kika-Sack balls arrived at my door. With the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup hitting town in the not-too-distant future, I couldn’t think of a better branding exercise. I mean, check how cool are these little guys? 2oceansvibe branded KIKA-SACK balls I know! How stunning? So […]

QUEEN’S PLATE HORSE RACE IN FOUR DAYS TIME!

It’s getting closer and closer (four more sleeps to be exact) to Cape Town’s most glamorous and exclusive social event – the 148th running of the Queen’s Plate! And what a brilliant date they have set! Not too close to New Year, but enough time to gather our senses, get some R&R, top up our […]

MIKE TYSON ENJOYS CARBOHYDRATES
06 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
With the festive season reaching roughly the half way mark, I am sure we have all taken a moment to consider our waist lines. Personally, I’ve pretty much nailed it with regards to diet. So much so that I am dangerously close to publishing The Rotherham Diet. It’s pretty cool and includes minimum exercise and […]

WHAT MADE YOU DO IT?
06 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Wow, I tell you, I didn’t expect it to go this far. And don’t think that you’ve seen this one before, because you haven’t. Not on these esteemed pages anyway. You will remember our various car articles and, in particular, this one about the Ferrari driving around with a CA 1 WP numberplate. That was […]

MERRY SHMERRY
29 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
God, it’s all just so “festive,” isn’t it? People just LOVE throwing around the word “festive.” And then they frill it up a little more with the word “cheer.” Oh, there is just so much FESTIVE CHEER abound, don’t you think? I looked up festive in this book I wrote ages ago entitled “The Dictionary” […]
