PLUMBERS AND FISH SHOPS
05 Feb 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
I took my camera for a ride on my scooter the other day and took both these shots on Sea Point Main Road within 5 minutes of each other. THAT’S how crazy it is around here. He’s a plumber – get it? And this little BEAUTY of a fish shop. The name is […]

GET YOURSELF OUT THERE
04 Feb 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It’s all about how you package yourself. You got to start thinking about Brand YOU . Take Sunny here, for example. He’s taken it to the next level. And not only has he put a picture on the side of his car, he’s put FIVE. Different styles, different gestures. All saying one thing, “I’m flexible […]

I SEE WHAT YOU’VE DONE THERE
29 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Again, another fine example of quality: I see he had a little fight with the marker pen? The mark on his face and the pen lying in waiting just next to the wall suggests there is more to come..

SANDY BAY BEACH FREAK OUT
29 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Did you enjoy that sub-heading? “Lewd conduct the order of the day!” Hah! Who talks like that? Anyway I got an email from The Fruit Farmer, who has an amazing skill of finding local content with a bizarre twist. Always humorous, he gave me a link to an article and asked if I felt the […]

BICYCLING MAGAZINE HAS A STYLE GURU
28 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It’s so cool that Bicycling Magazine has a fashion/style editor, called “STYLEMAN.” It’s even better that a recent issue rasies the question we brought up with regards to cyclists wearing helmets whilst dining in restaurants/cafes and eateries around Cape Town. You’ll find STYLEMAN’S reply might hamper his chances of working for Vogue. www.bicycling.co.za […]

THE END OF THE ROAD
27 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
We’ve brought you a pant load of number plate articles and we’re getting what I call “license-lash” when you’ve seen too many stupid numberplates and you can’t do any more. Unless, of course, they’re EXCEPTIONAL . Unless they’re BEYOND human thought. You’ll remember (here, here, here, here and here) my main issue being about people […]

THE DROP KNEE HANDSHAKE
27 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Ok, I’ve been feeling the pulse of Cape Town and am very pleased to see more and more people (girls, and boys alike) have realised the coolness of the “Slap, Snap & Fisties” handshake. Again, your belief in 2oceansvibe has resulted in you being happier and, more importantly, cooler – the way I like to […]

MASS MEDIA HUMILIATES CRYING CHILD
26 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’ve obviously misunderstood everything in my life thus far. Because – for me – the idea of there being a photo of me crying on the first day of school, plastered all over the front page of one of the countries biggest selling newspapers, does not appeal. I was ever so slightly disturbed when I […]

DANCING TO SINGLE LADIES
23 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
A number of people have emailed me this video so I thought I’d pop up the YouTube clip, rather than receiving anymore 3Mb files. You do know that 90% of the clips people send around are also available on Youtube, right? No problem. Ok, this is pretty hysterical. It features a particularly overweight gent dancing […]

OBAMA INAUGURATION FROM SPACE
23 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Although very close to Obamalash, I was pretty blown away by this picture, The world’s highest-res Earth-imaging satellite zooms in on President Obama. This, from Popsci.com : As promised, here are stunningly clear satellite images of the tops of some two million heads during today’s inauguration. These images were snapped at 11:19am today […]

BUTLERS PIZZA DELIVERED TO HERMANUS
23 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It’s quite evident that I spent last weekend in Hermanus. I told you about the sea rescue and I told you about the cock guy with the flashing blue light on the way there. But what I did NOT tell you, was about the Butlers Pizza that I ordered and had delivered to Hermanus, over […]

THE MANAGER FROM THE ALL GOLD AD IS WOOFLES FROM PUMPKIN PATCH
22 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I told you yesterday about the identity of “The Stig” on Top Gear (turns out there was more than one Stig, btw) and at the end of the article I said the following: It reminds me of a few years back when I finally let the cat out of the bag that I was “Woofles†[…]

22 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
A couple months back I told you about Taxijam, the incredible new underground music video concept featuring artists playing in the back of a local taxi. Started by 2oceansvibe Character The Film Guy (Richard) and his cousin Simon, it’s gaining rapid momentum and has featured the likes of 2oceansvibe’s favourite The Dirty Skirts and our […]

LIVERPOOL ST. STATION DANCE MADNESS
21 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Some of you might have missed this little beauty! It’s an ad for T Mobile which was filmed during nromal work hours and included 350 dancers who let it rip, as everyday commuters passed through the concourse. I don’t normally use the word “concourse” but today’s Wednesday, which means it’s basically the weekend, so fuck […]

CAPE MINSTRELS TRAFFIC CHAOS
21 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I thoroughly enjoyed this tongue-in-cheek story about Capetonians and our beloved Cape Minstrel annual carnival. With teeth.. CAPE TOWN – author unknown Over 300 Cape Minstrels are in hospital this morning after taking part in a traditional street carnival to celebrate January 2 without realizing that the day was not a public holiday.

BAT WING BASE JUMPING
21 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I saw similar videos to this about a year ago and was so blown away that I lost the ability to type. It seems there has been a new surge of excitement and I have received the following video a number of times in my inbox. It’s pretty crazy stuff these guys do. They wear […]

HUDSON RIVER PLANE CRASH VIDEO
20 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
You know sometimes when someone says something and a few days later something very similar happens? Ja, well anyway, I call it a “premonition.” People then also sometimes spice it a bit and stretch the amazingness of the particular premonition by clutching onto what we in the industry refer to as “fuck all.” Like someone […]

HERMANUS SEA RESCUE DRAMA AT LANGBAAI
19 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I tell you, it’s been QUITE a weekend in Hermanus. When I stopped to do some writing at the end of it all I didn’t think I had anything to write about. But, if you think about it, two people nearly drowning and being rescued by a Capetonian IS something we need to chat about! […]

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 […]

ANOTHER JACK OF ALL TRADES
16 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
This is the third Jack of all trades article we’ve written, following the incredibly well received original two (here and here). I assure you the following image is genuine. Surely there are laws as to what can and cannot be written on flyers given out in public? “Get promoted” – just like that! […]

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 […]

MR. RHAMES IS IN TOWN
15 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
We get all types here in Cape Town. We’ve spent time with the Nic Cages of the world and it’s great to hear Ed Norton and Bette Midler were spotted at the Grand Cafe in Camps Bay. That’s all very well, but Ving Rhames is in town now.. Ving Rhames Seriously, Emmy and […]

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 […]

RYAN SEACREST HIGH-FIVES A BLIND GUY
15 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It’s not often the energies of the universe pull together to give us things like this. Scott Macintrye is a contestant on the latest American Idol which is on at the moment. Scott Macintrye is blind. Ryan Seacrest is the host of American Idol and is therefore fully aware that Scott is blind. That’s why […]

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 […]
