I visited HQ (Headquarters) Restaurant twice last week. Serving just one kind of salad and one kind of steak, I enjoy on the simplicity of the experience. And so does the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) it seems! HQ Restaurant On my second visit last week I ran into Matt, who, slightly out of […]
I am still a bit shell-shocked after my harrowing visit to the Waterfront this morning. I went to get some passport photographs and decided to pop into the Waterfront iStore shop who (I was under the impression) sell most Apple Mac products. I was looking for an iPod shuffle, as my normal iPod is too […]
A stunning day had by all! Andrew from the Hi-Five Scooter Club organised a scooter rally that took place on voting day (GO DOLPHINS!), yesterday, which kicked off at the Waterfront Vespa Shop, next to the Caltex station. A rally that was put together to highlight the perfect match that is scooters and Cape Town, […]
Mark C spotted an honourable mention (here) in a recent mybroadband investigation into South Africa’s biggest websites. It certainly made for interesting reading and something perhaps YOU should read as you navigate this ever-changing SA media landscape. It was noted : SA’s biggest websites and blogs South Africa is currently experiencing strong […]
This fellow can be found at Vida e in Camps Bay. I enjoy him. Soso Unlike his coffe (which is amazing), his name is “Soso .” No, I am not spicing you. I just hope that when people ask him what his name is, he holds out his hand flat and, before they […]
“Kudos” obsessives will definitely give the audacious driver of this Vespa “kudos” for his/her parking ON Camps Bay beach . It is SO brazen, SO radical and SO brilliantly rude, that we should do nothing but stand and applaud. In the words of Montell Jordan.. “THIS IS HOW WE DO IT!” Stand up from […]
Very clever little vibe this. Spotted on Gumtree (here), this guy, Jannie, is advertising his Playstation 3 for R1,160,000 and is throwing in a free apartment. BRAND NEW SONY PLAYSTATION 3 – R1160 000.00 If you buy this SONY PLAYSTATION 3 you get the following for FREE! A very stylish Up Market 2 […]
Spotted this on thecoolhunter.net So cool.. So…very….cool.. The 1934 BMW R7Be….strong. Check it out: Think back 70 or 75 years to a time when design began to break away from the traditional and elaborate rationalism that ensued for hundreds of years. As the styles of Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Streamline and Zigzag […]
You might recall the incredible Kika Sack record set by The TBG and The Dude a few months back. 57 kikas in a row, to be exact (check out the footage here). So anyway, the Vida e boyz got involved in the action and attempted to break the current Kika Sack record. Check it out: […]
Talya G alerted me to a tweet on Matthew Buckland’s Twitter page (no, I do not say those words with a straight face) showing a paraglider who clearly missed his mark and ploughed straight into the wall, smashing a window at the restaurant above and landing, BANG, in front of Vida e. Not sure of […]
This Gumtree ad has been spotted and should attract the right candidate as a starting point to “living the holiday.” Finally, an end to the corporate world you are getting so tired of! For me the best part is without a doubt the last line – “No chancers please.” I wonder what would […]
Are you guys a little chilly over there? Well I want you to know that we ARE thinking about you. In fact, we discussed some of the ex-pats today, as we sipped on a Gelado iced coffee from Vida e . Isn’t that weird? I mean, we were sitting on the beach in the HOT […]
I mention a lot of cool eating and drinking establishments and shops on these pages. Everyone from Caprice and Miss K, to Vida e, Butlers and Woolworths. There is a reason for that; I’ve bought into their brands and I feel it is safe for you to do so as well. They are brands that […]
Before we chat about that, I thought I should just mention that this year’s Coke Fest (now called CokeZero Fest ’09) is featuring Oasis as its headline act. That’s right. You heard it here first. Other bands on the bill at this stage include Snow Patrol…and the Dirty Skirts. I know. Pretty rad. Now check […]
I thought you’d enjoy this quick focus on Cape Town’s weather in days to come. Tragic, really. Shame It’s pretty straightforward, I think you’ll find. All meetings, if any, should be conducted on the Atlantic Seaboard. Basic stuff. Coffee should be drunk at Vida e in Camps Bay. That’s a given. Lunches, dinner […]
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 […]
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 […]
Like taxis, we have come to tolerate our lycra-engulfed brethren and now realise that the only defense is to simply divert young childrens’ attention away from the bizarre behaviour and stray balls on display. Sunday morning gave us some extreme examples of how the Shimano Warriors’ anti-social behaviour has gone WAY past the edge of […]
I was a little peckish the other morning so I popped into the Vida e on Kloof Road. I felt like something different and asked Msizi if the Prego Roll was any good. He said I would enjoy it. So off I went. The Prego Roll – by Vida eInsane As worldly and […]
Nash of BangerAndNash fame sent this in, with the subject “Seth… is that you?” SETH WP – not mine Umm, no. Whilst I am flattered that you thought of me, I can confidently tell you that that is not my vehicle, nor is it my number plate. But while we’re here, I would urge […]
Bafana-Bafana legend, Mark Fish was spotted in the infamous Green Room at the Luv Sport studios on Friday night, quietly sucking on 2oceansvibe’s beer of choice, Jack Black . MF enjoying a JB Nice. Mark also appears to be a Michael Jackson fan, as his T-shirt proudly declares the gloved one’s cry, “Shamon !”
Still wading through the aftermath of the instant fame he received following his well documented delivery/encounter (article here) with a gaggle of hot Camps Bay babes, Brendan, the Butlers Pizza “celebrity driver” is still a very hot commodity. Take it from me! I’ll be honest, I wasn’t expecting it. Nor did I expect any driver […]
You gotta give our favourite Cape Town beer, Jack Black, a pat on the back when they bring out a tap and quietly have it installed at both Caprice and Mount Nelson’s Planet bar in the same week! JACK BLACK – on tap at Caprice and Mount Nelson’s Planet Bar Nice one – things […]
My GOD, Saturday was a gorgeous day! I cleverly didn’t over-indulge at Asoka the night before, following the launch of the first Luv Sport TV show. A good night’s sleep and a fresh joint (I went for the pinner – three drags and go) ensured maximum enjoyment of the good weather. I had breakfast scheduled […]
Yesterday, Sunday 17 August, 2008, wasn’t too bad. This is the vibe Camps Bay was going for. Visions of the impending summer fuckshow Cappers, nestled comfortably in Table Mountain’s bosom The Gelado from Vida e – one of the first signs of Summer The best way to store kids at the […]
Not to be confused with Jack Black, the comedian. This is Jack Black, the beer – named after Jack Black, the 1920’s American outlaw, who came WAY before any other Jack Black that you may know. And I’m pleased to report that Jack Black Premium Classic Beer is out and about in Cape Town. I […]
