It’s one thing if a kid grasps music or gets the rhythm of a song. But it’s something quite different when one finds a very young kid who genuinely FEELS a song and proceeds to rock out like a fully grown front man. You need to see this to believe it! CLICK HERE to play […]
As those messages come in thick and fast, The UK Showbiz Guy and I crafted this, the ultimate Christmas festive wishes SMS: “May you and all those you love, dance in the sunshine of a blessed and festive christmastide. May the light of love shine on all your dreams, wishes and dreams. Here’s hoping that […]
The 2oceansvibe slogan, “Work is a sideline, Live the holiday” is widely accepted as the ultimate ideal. In order for work to be a sideline, one needs to avoid full-time 9 to 5 employment at all costs. Unless you’re working for yourself. But in order to get your own thing going, you need spare time. […]
Yesterday we brought you images of the gang of individuals stalking Springbok Captain, John Smit, at every book signing that he goes to (for the launch of his new book – “Captain in the Cauldron.“ They were up in arms over some things that were said in John’s book and have been following him around […]
The New Year emails are coming in thick and fast, so I think I’ll just nip it in the bud.. Here it is, 2oceansvibers. This is where it’s happening.. HQ New Years Event 2009/2010, brought to you by kreame, Caveau and HQ Tickets to HQ New Years Eve. This is THE party: This year guests […]
We’ve chatted about these guys before – Luxury4Less – the guys who sell limited stock discounted luxury items online. They got 500 signups on the first day and those of you who did it will know why. With Christmas around the corner, I can’t not tell you about deals on luxury goods – I mean, […]
Have you ever typed your name into Google, followed by “is” and then a space? You really should, it’s fairly hilarious. Google uses historical searches for similar phrases and gives quickview suggestions are what you more than likely want to search for – thus saving you nano seconds of your time. It’s those little things […]
Personally, I’ve never liked those Santa Claus photo ops. Whether I’m in them or not, I just don’t dig it. They’re dodgy and the guy in the suit is almost always a pedophile – it’s practically a pre-requisite. The ones that aren’t pedophiles are working for the Feds anyway; and the replacement sucks, so fuck […]
They seriously should have called it OnlineBrowniePoints.co.za instead of WooliesHampers.co.za, because that is essentially what it is. It’s an online machine that produces brownie points in exchange for a few mouse clicks and a credit card number. Seriously. It’s quite silly. Remember that hamper I bought last week for Marina, to celebrate the birth of […]
Is it just sitting there on the table? Annoying you? It’s such a small amount of money, but we all know that the cost is not what we are fearing – it’s the queues at the Traffic Department – oh, the pain! When is the best time to get there? And, when I get there, […]
What do The Parlotones, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Johnny Clegg, FreshlyGround, an 18-piece Big Band Jazz Group, Swan Lake Ballet and ABBA have in common? I’ll tell you what they have in common – they’re all a part of the latest, most unique, globally recognised festival Cape Town has ever seen. I give you, AQUA FESTIVAL! […]
Twas a mere month ago that we brought you stunning images of that gentleman who risked his life hanging onto the back of a truck. Sigh.. such is the public transport situation these days. Not to be outdone, this chap took things to the next level and rode on TOP of a vehicle. “Just stay […]
Boom! Just like that, your day has changed for the better. But not just this day, I’m talking about the days 28-31 January, 2010, which sees God’s favourite TV show coming to Cape Town. That’s right, my sweet smelling friends, Jeremy Clarkson and the crew are stopping by as part of their Top Gear Live […]
Suffice to say, if you did NOT receive an email confirming you have won tickets to the 2010 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate horse race, then you did not win.. Well done to Michael, Raoul, Alex, Dan and Ryan! To the rest of you… better luck next time! Not that it’s all over for you! Heavens, […]
My skill-set is widely discussed and it’s a given that long-distance running comes as easy to me as horse whispering. It was for that exact reason that I accepted Runner’s World Magazine’s invitation to do the Two Oceans Marathon. They were clearly aware of the fact that I do the same course most weeks – […]
SA #1 and future World Surf Champion, Jordy Smith , gives us another reason to like his vibe. He’s obviously got TONS of surfboards in his “quiver,” but I did not realise that each of his boards has a girl painted it. A different girl for every board. He doesn’t call them his “boards,” he […]
I know what you’re thinking. How can it get to this level? It’s quite silly, really – it’s like we’re playing this game on “easy” mode.. Behold, the ULTIMATE Christmas gift.. Due to the overwhelming amount of awesome videos on 2oceansvibe, you can’t be expected to watch it all – and let’s face it, not […]
Skattie.com have finally gone and done what everyone was asking for. They’ve put together a comprehensive list of South African personalities with Twitter accounts! South African Celebrities on Twitter – CLICK HERE I shouldn’t use the word “comprehensive” as the guys at Skattie have asked me to tell you to TWEET any additions to @skattielife […]
There are many reasons why The Rock is a 2oceansvibe Character – not least of which being his ability to find such incredible pieces of greatness as this. Behold, the Tiger Woods online arcade game. This is NOT a drill The aim is to drive Tiger safely out of Elin’s grips, and ensure that his […]
I honestly didn’t think I would ever be getting excited about an afrikaans rapper coming to Cape Town. But hey, look at global warming” – things change.. The uninitiated may want to check out the article we did on SA superstar Jack Parow a short while back. The guy has basically exploded onto the local […]
Please don’t let the same thing happen as what happened with The Killers concert in Cape Town. You know what I’m talking – those of you that woke up too late and couldn’t get tickets. The 2010 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate is on January the 9th which is one month away. That’s right, South Africa’s premiere […]
Apparently you can check some angels tanning topless somewhere in this photo. Honestly – it’s so high res that you can move the pic around and zoom in a long way. It’s virtually crystal clear on full zoom. I couldn’t find them (the topless angels). But I think what we should do is look for […]
I got an email a few months back from a 2oceansviber, telling me about this pair of twin brothers who were making some seriously cool music. “Locnville” was the name. I get a lot of people emailing and telling about their friend’s “awesome” band and sadly now take “heads ups” with a pinch of salt. […]
No one week ago we gave you the AWESOMENESS that is/was the Liesbeek River feature on Google Earth, citing “underage orgies” as a common occurrence at said river. That has apparently been changed. Not that it has stopped other SA Wikipedia nuggets, including this one, describing the town of Underberg, in Kwazulu-Natal. Enjoy that last […]
Well done to Lee Casalena, who has created this excellently excellent virtual tour of the Cape Town Green Point stadium. Including images of workers scratching their heads and a pair of white people in hard hats. I see a lot of chemistry between those two.. If it (the virtual tour) doesn’t work then you may […]
It’s taken me MANY years to think about purchases before I make them – such is the change from only child to only man. You still want the thing urgently, but ghosts of broken toys past add necessary caution to the American Express Platinum wind. This last week was a prime example. My friend, Jonty […]
It’s true what they say – “If you can dream it, you can do it.” I remember as a kid, dreaming of beautiful women pouring expensive champagne all over my body as I lay on expensive yachts with oysters being dropped into my mouth by incredibly well-tanned dwarves. And now, it has turned into reality. […]
I received a stunning little tipoff from one Justin, giving me the heads up on the Cape Town portion of Google Earth. I hadn’t yet installed Google Earth onto my new MacBook Pro (courtesy of Digicape – the anti-iStore) so I did that in about 1 minute flat (download Google Earth here) and “booted” it […]
They’ve come in from all over and well done to the peeps that took them. Whilst there certainly were many duplicates in my inbox, the following images are made of pics I received sent in from three different sources. Please enjoy these pics (there are more, make sure you see them all by following the […]
Some of you may not have received the memo regarding Monday. We call it the weather report and it was showing a reading of “stupid” for the whole day. It started off like this: And ended like this: With all sorts happening in between. To check out the shots from the day, check out the […]
