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” […]

AMBIGUOUS NUMBERPLATES
23 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Matt O drew my attention to this ad on Gumtree, advertising the following numberplate. Personalised number plate! LUV KIDS-WP Price Neg. Much sought after plate.. I don’t know how “highly sought after” a numberplate like that is. I mean, if it was owned by a baby sitting/nanny service, like www.childminders.co.za, then I don’t have […]

TRILBY VS FEDORA
22 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
As the urge for men in their 20’s and 30’s to wear formal hats increases, so too does the confusion over which hat is which. In particular, the trilby versus the fedora. Davidoff (The Rocker), from The Dirty Skirts, for example, calls any old hat a trilby. Because he LIKES saying it. It makes him […]

LATEST HELMET ATTACK AT NEWPORT DELI
18 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
The madness continues, as normal people everywhere, from Camps Bay to Mouille Point, are subjected to these unprovoked attacks on the social norm and general etiquette. This image, sent in by Shads, tells a harrowing story of ignorance, bad upbringing and emboerrissment. Grown adults, dining in a public eatery WITH their helmets on. Now […]

KNOW YOUR SHORT CUTS – CAVALCADE ROAD
18 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
One of my personal favourites, Cavalcade Road is the one you’re looking for. I too used to take random shots at the roads leading down from Sea Point’s High Level Road, in the hope that I would end up near to Giovanni’s and that part of Somerset Road (Vida, Miss K etc.) area. But time […]

PAY-OFF LINES 101
15 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Saw this outside Caprice the other day. See what they did there? Very clever. They maximised the fact that “meet” and “meat” sound the same. And, at the same time, promising customer satisfaction. You can’t do that with any word. They were very lucky to be in the meat industry. You couldn’t say “You […]

HELICOPTER VIEW OF THE 2010 GREEN POINT STADIUM
12 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I thought this would be a nice touch. Just a quick tour from the sky of the Green Point stadium. I just did it now for you. This morning. I just popped up and filmed it for you. Because I care. I’m lying, obviously. Someone else did it. Thanks for that, chum.. CLICK HERE […]

12 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
In October we brought you a wonderful picture of a some guy’s car window advertising a wide array of skills on offer. It was fairly phenomenal and I suggest you check it out. Today, however, we have another one, this time sent in by Martin M. Please, if I may… Specialist..in many fields […]

THE 148TH RUNNING OF THE QUEEN’S PLATE
11 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I remember a girl friend of 2oceansvibe being ever so slightly scorned at the emotional neglect dealt to her by 2oceansvibe’s “The Kitesurfer.” We had ploughed through a bottle of bubbly at Karma the one night and time came for me to exit. A tad tipsy, she said unto me (with her fingers snapping in […]

ANTHONY TAKES BEGGING TO ANOTHER LEVEL
11 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
The Cartoonist gave a handsome tip to this intrepid Cape Town beggar and asked him for a photograph. We thought you would appreciate his ingenuity, with not the time nor need to have a sign made. Rather, he simply states the facts on his clothes and keeps his hands available. “VERY HUNGRY” Anthony gets […]

2OCEANSVIBE EXCLUSIVE – GUMTREE JOB OFFER FOR OFFICE SLUT
10 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I couldn’t quite believe mine eyes as I read through this job offer and subsequent email exchange between a genuinely hopeful candidate and the potential employer. It is a rare treat for it to fall into place so effortlessly. We refer to these sets of circumstance as a “gift.” I would like to make it […]

TEQUILA STILL WORKS
10 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I was sent in this video by a reader who stumbled upon it on Facebook. Proof, once again, that too much tequila can hurt you. Although, luckily in this case, it was a soft landing. CLICK HERE if that don’t play Why did the Mexican throw his wife off a cliff? TEQUILA!

NOTHING OVERLY RADICAL
08 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
A little hazy today, actually. 25 degrees, but with this haze vibe going for it. Very nice, mind you – takes the edge off, if you know what I mean. We checked it out after a light lunch at Cappers . G-Man and I went for the calamari, whilst The Dude went for the Club […]

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 […]

Taken in Cape Town city off Hertzog Boulevard, this, like, JUST happened. Check it out. Feeling hot hot hot.. Spontaneous combustion? There’s not much more that you can […]

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 […]

WHEEL CLAMPS, SIGNS ETC.
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 […]

PLAY GARDEN CRICKET AT YOUR DESK!
25 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
The guys that designed 2oceansvibe, HelloComputer, have just finished a new project for MTN, called the MTN Backyard Series. They’ve made an online game which is, honestly, as close as you can get to a proper game of garden cricket (or “stump” as it’s called in the Southern Suburbs) within the confines of your office. […]

As you know, I moved into my suite at the Cape Grace hotel on Saturday. “Our 2 Bedroom Suites epitomise luxurious home-from-home comforts and are ideal for families or friends travelling together. These spacious suites feature two private en-suite bedrooms and […]

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 […]

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 […]

THE ONE YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR
14 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
At last, visual evidence of the truck that was blown over outside Caprice yesterday. I can’t believe the photo is right here in front of me. I heard about it and just waited, patiently, for it to land on my lap. It’s so good. The winds are so powerful. They make me so CRAZY! […]

PIGS AND THE CITY
13 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Zone took this photo today, sent it to me, and asked the question: “There are pigs in Military Rd opposite Relish, ironically where I am beckoned to drink this evening. What does this mean for us? “ Pigs cruising the pavement in Cape Town City/Stad That reminds me, did you ever read the […]

TALL TREE CATCHES MUCH WIND
11 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
You know that steep road that joins Kloof Road with Kloof Nek Road? Just up from Bacini’s? Ja, that’s the one. Well, anyway, it’s blocked off because a tree committed suicide over the road. I swear. Check it out. Hectrique!The winds experienced today are what we call “crazy” I think that guy standing […]

SO THIS CHICK SENDS ME THIS SMS
10 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It goes, “Ey stranger. Long time. Do you remember who i am and what i look like or do you enjoy deliberately ignoring someone when their (her spelling) literally sitting behind you at Caprice“ Weird. She starts off semi-normal, and then seems to get a bit of a wobbly towards the end. I get a […]

THE DAILY VOICE MAINTAIN THEIR HIGH LEVEL OF JOURNALISM
06 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I simply MUST get a copy of yesterday’s DAILY VOICE newspaper. I took this picture yesterday of a headline suggesting a UFO airport had been uncovered in Hout Bay. Oh my goodness! I couldn’t believe what I was reading! Believe it, because it’s TRUE! I didn’t buy it because I ASSUMED I would […]

CHRISTMAS BEETLE TIME!
06 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It’s a special feeling I get every year, when I see my first Christmas Beetle. It conjures up all sorts of feelings, emotions and memories. One of which would be the boarding school days, where we referred to them as “Joeys.” We would catch them, shake them around in our cupped hands, and then release […]

“HOW TO POMP LIKE A STAR”
04 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Don’t know if you caught that, this morning. On the lamp posts. You know those headlines printed on cardboard that the various newspapers tie onto street lamp posts? Ja, those ones. Well one of our local tabloids, “The Voice,” threw out that vibe today. Just as you saw in the headline of this article. That’s […]

As I often say, these things look pretty normal around here, until you take a picture of them and realise, Christ, this is NOT normal. Ilan W sent this in of a skateboarder catching a ride on the side of a front-end loader on Sea Point’s Beach Road. Here we see our boy waiting at […]
