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 […]
Judging by the 2oceansvibe stats, most of you seem to be getting back into the office this week. Welcome back. 2009 is going to be the greatest year of your life. FACT. I trust your fellow office workers, colleagues and clients understand the Cape Town January Rule? You know, the (no longer) unwritten rule that […]
Just when we thought 2009 was going smoothly, this happens! The bizarre helmet religious war continues, as we take in images from this, an unprecedented attack at a Groot Constantia wine tasting. Readers are warned that the following image may cause vomiting. An incredibly thick-skinned cyclist parades indoors with his helmet on Now […]
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 […]
Ok, here we all are. Welcome back. Good to see you. I beg your pardon? How am I? Oh, VERY well thank you. A little bit tired after indulging in one of the better weddings I have been to in my life. On the banks of a river, somewhere near Elgin. Check out the place […]
We’ve been working with a “skeleton staff” over the last few days and I would like to take this very opportunity to announce that we will be reporting on things, as usual, from Monday – the 5th of Jan (I think). I’m back from Hermanus and back in The Safe House. It’s back to normal. […]
Personally I have made no plans yet for New Year. If I was in Cape Town then it would definitely be either Caprice or The Mount Nelson. But I’m in Hermanus and everyone is looking at each other for answers. That includes the two youngsters who were a tad premature with their New Year celebrations […]
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” […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
You couldn’t DREAM this up. You could smoke a ton of chronic and eat a plate of magic mushroom infused chocolate brownies, and the result would never be a concept as ludicrous as a journalist throwing his shoes, one after the other, at President George W Bush. I mean, Mike Myers used it as a […]
Spotted this on SKY News – quite a cool vibe. check it out: A group of budding scientists have traced every flight in the world over a 24-hour period and plotted them onto an impressive video map. The science buffs from Switzerland collected data on each commercial flight and put it together to make […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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!
Are you aware of this? It’s a lot of money. One point seven billion Rand. It rolls so nicely off the tongue. Not AS well as when you tell your boss to get stuffed when you win it. CLICK HERE to buy MEGA MILLIONS tickets safely and securely online. There is nothing more I can […]
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 […]
Sunday brought the final day of the Movember initiative – which was celebrated with a day of bowls at the Fresnaye Bowling Club. A stunning day for it, what! But it wasn’t just a DAY at the bowling club, it was a chance to walk away with The Balls of Glory. The […]
Just a general notice, really. I very much doubt it will be funny or anything. It’s just a bit of help. A number of people have been telling me that they’re getting an incredibly big section of empty white space under the first article on this very website, 2oceansvibe. I was aware of it because […]
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 […]
Oh my good Lord! We have just received these pictures live from one of our many MANY intrepid readers who send in shit that matters. 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 […]
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 […]
