By now you will be well aware of the fact that I am seldom lured from my salubrious surroundings. Ubiquitous annual jaunts to south of France, LA and the med notwithstanding, tearing myself away from The Safe House and the majesty of Cape Town is not an activity I enter into lightly. Hence a trip […]
Basically, you can get a glass of bubbly, a facial, a manicure, a pedicure or massage and valet parking, for roughly the same price as you get a sandwich from Melissa’s! That’s how the Equinox Spa at my primary residence, the Cape Royale hotel, is rolling at the moment. Personally I’ve had close on 500 […]
I was always amazed that the band LIVE had a song which made use of the Xhosa dialect. But, in hindsight, it’s not that amazing. After all it did appear on their album Throwing Copper which came out in 1994 – the same year Nelson Mandela became president. So it was probably a tribute to […]
Well I suggest you do – because there is something of a surprise waiting for you on board. That’s right, my lover – over 100,000 copies of the Mango Airlines in-flight magazine, “Juice,” have been printed and they are yours to keep! Why would you care about the Mango Airlines in-flight magazine? Let me show […]
You will recall the other day we mobilised the troops and asked you to head through to Food24 and vote for Lee Ann and Kirsten in the “Hot Chef” competition. This is the vibe we went for: Oh my goodness look at this! Kirsten and Lee Ann, our little spunks from Miss K Food Cafe […]
I checked out Jack Parow this weekend at the Ultimate-X games on Saturday. It was so sick. There were millions upon millions of skate rats and BMX bandits everywhere! The Cape Royale concierge dropped us off in the Jaguar. and we blended RIGHT in – thanks to my Wolverine T-shirt! Instant respect in any skate-park […]
Wonderful individual we have here before us. One Michael Carroll, of Norfolk, UK, won 9.7 million Pounds in a European lottery. The former dustman blew the lot, since the 2002 windfall. It’s a stunning path of destruction which ended with Michael currently putting his mansion on the market to scrape up some change – for […]
Is this REALLY news? I would be celebrating and popping the champagne, if the news came as a surprise. But it doesn’t. I mean, is it wrong to expect these kind of accolades from 2oceansvibe brands and sponsors? Are we not perhaps numbed by the success of the associated brands and advertisers and people on […]
Oh my goodness look at this! Kirsten and Lee Ann, our little spunks from Miss K Food Cafe in Green Point (next to our primary residence, The Cape Royale) are up for an important accolade! It’s the News24 Sizzling Hot Chefs competition, and 2oceansvibe is 100% behind them! Seriously gang, you know how the vibe […]

Roger Federer stands next to Australian Open loser, Andy Murray Federer 16, Murray 0 – That is the current grand slam scoreboard between Roger Federer and Andy Murray, after Federer dispatched the Scot in Sunday’s Australian Open tennis final. But I thought this was Andy’s year? Lift him. Lift him high. Then disappear when he […]
Please, dear God, do not see this as the start of a trend. We do NOT post lost dog ads on 2oceansvibe. But I just thought the rareness of receiving a lost dog ad in my inbox would be enough reason for this “one-off.” It’s very “niche,” don’t you think? And I am SO niche […]
In November I alerted you about the Seth Rotherham feature in the ELLE Magazine. I didn’t publish it in full on these pages, as the magazine was still in circulation. It is now off the shelves and has coincidentally become one of their most successful issues ever. Weird.. especially with that issue of YOU Magazine […]
Yesterday I “tweeted” something about the magical road that transports you from the new Green Point circle (next to the stadium) directly to the Waterfront (the preferred back entry near the Radisson hotel). There is no easier route to get to the Waterfront. Even if I was driving into town from the N2, I would […]
You will all remember with great joy and glee the ETERNAL MOONWALK performed by myself, G-Man and The Dude at the Cape Royale Sky Bar. I agree, it was sensational. Be that as it may, this fellow deserves a bit of credit. Nice. Nice. I like what you did there. Although it’s not that difficult […]
Tiger Woods’s Facial Injuries Were Not From a Car Accident – Unless you’re calling his wife a car? Tiger Woods did not suffer facial lacerations from a car accident. They were inflicted by his wife, Elin Nordegren — according to a conversation Woods had Friday after the accident. And now the cops have issued a […]

Although, in all fairness, the allure of joining an exclusive club which […]
I heard the news last week and, to be honest, I needed some time to let it sink in. I was emailed the news before I left the Safe House that day. Later on I heard it on the radio and then The Muse told me that she (a VW owner) had received a sms […]
To say that I was the PC poster-boy, would be an understatement. I had a computer from the age of six and, given that I was an only child, I spent an inordinate amount of time in front of the various computers I have had throughout my life. Apart from the “SpectraVideo” and BBC computers […]
It’s with great ease that they do, because Boschendal Grande Cuvee Brut (lest we forget the Le Grand Pavillon Brut Rosé) has very recently become the sparkling wine of choice for 2oceansvibe. Hardened 2oceansvibers out there will know what it takes to get the nod as a 2oceansvibe brand and, make no mistake, this premium […]
The cries from the 2oceansvibers out there who missed the 2oceansvibe feature on SA’s number one TV magazine show, Top Billing, were overwhelming. I knew I had to SOMEHOW get it onto the web for you to see! Just to run you through the process – I recorded the show on my PVR decoder at […]

Regular readers will know that there has been all sorts of Top Billing activity over the past week or so. Their crew joined us on the day that we shot the 2oceansvibe Show last week with Goldfish, and they filmed some behind-the-scenes stuff for the weekly TV magazine show, Top Billing.

Muizenberg, Sunday – World recordphoto:lee slabber Cape Town surfers break Guinness World Record at Earthwave – To say that the Earth Wave CT Event held at Muizenberg on Sunday was a roaring success would be a huge understatement. Never before in the history of South African surfing have so many surfers participated harmoniously in […]
It’s going to be difficult for me to write this article without audio. Because I want to shout it. I want to scream it. It’s off the charts. It’s off the hook. And dare I say it, OFF THE CHAIN! Cape Town has NEVER seen anything like this before! Stop it It was […]
It is tradition here at 2oceansvibe to “call it” when it feels right for us (for you). I remember back in 2007, we called it on September 17. Well it looks like it’s 11 days later this year. Don’t know why – probably a combination of El Nino, global warming and Michael Jackson’s death. Quietly […]
