A million dollars? Please. That’s not cool. Helicopter rides. THOSE, those are cool. “But Helicopter rides are so expensive!“, I hear you whinge. That is true, but you and I both know that it’s not a matter of price when it comes to experiencing the wonder of flight as a homo sapien. The price doesn’t […]
Low stress levels are an essential part of living the holiday. That is why Seth spent months on the road in Cape town and Johannesburg, outsourcing the best possible short-cuts (MINI Routes!) for you to save time and avoid traffic. We did six in Johannesburg and six in Cape Town. Some of these secret routes are […]
Where were last month when Jack Daniels and 2oceansVibe treated almost 100 hard working Capetownians to an afternoon of popcorn, whiskey, mustangs and movies? You were at WORK? Shame. Shame. Well here’s another bite at the cherry: listen close. WIN! FRIDAY DONE JACK’S WAY – FRIDAY 2 SEPTEMBER 2011 WIN a ticket for you and […]
You know how, every year that you’ve made the nine-hour trek to Hermanus, you’re kind of disappointed by how far away that mass-grouping of whales is from the shoreline? Whales are majestic creatures, but are they worth the agony of gawking at them from behind hoardes of shore-bound people? You have no right to be […]
In the fashion world you’re either in or you’re out. And Bryan Boy is most definitely in, what with him being a top international fashion blogger and all. Sunglass Hut, along with Marie Claire will be bringing him to South Africa for a series of workshops and appearances. Details after the jump.
A true 2oceansviber, Charl D, just sent me this. It’s basically all you need for the 2011 Rugby World Cup. All the fixtures, teams and times – BOOM – straight into your calendar with one click! Shame, we really do spoil you here, don’t we? Note – this is for iCal (ie. Mac). If You […]
Last month, in the persistent spirit of defiance, 2oceansVibe and Jack Daniel’s took nearly 100 exhausted, hardworking Capetonians to the movies on a working Friday afternoon. Press play on that video and ask yourself why you weren’t there. Work was bunked, whiskey was drunk, gourmet treats courtesy of Miss K were snaffled, and for the […]
This makes total sense. Apparently the upkeep of plants in Goldman Sachs’ London offices are costing the bank tens of thousands of pounds per annum, which is why the head offices have ordered many of the plants to be removed. It’s nice to see that these guys can make the big sacrifices when they have to.
Traditionally, you hear the phrase “surf and turf”, and your brain automatically concludes that instead of getting the best of both worlds, neither the seafood nor the steak will be something special on your plate. Well, ladies and gentlemen, it is about time you amend your perceptions of reality. Surf, by Groupon. Pay R180 instead […]
They’re a generous lot, Mr Daniel’s henchmen, and over the next few weeks they’ll be running a competition where you can win a brand new, customised 2011 Ford Mustang GT500 Shelby. We’ll break that down in just a moment. The good news is, I’ve just driven the thing. And it is marvelous.
The “Archive Gold” series continues with this piece – written three years ago. It’s more an important life skill, than an amusing article. Read it carefully. Be the best you can be. Happy Women’s Day.. An essential part to being a complete human being, is to possess the ability to cook perfect crispy bacon in […]
Sinatra. Ol’ Blue Eyes. The Chairman of the Board. It’s hard to know where to start with Frank Sinatra. There’s the young Frank of the 1940’s, the Oscar winning movie star, The Rat Pack years, with his old pals Sammy Davis, Dean Martin and the boys. Then there’s the manic depression, the equal rights activist […]
One of the funniest men on the planet (proof here), Pablo Francisco cruised into the 2oceansvibe Radio studio last week, and proceeded to impersonate Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, Al Pacino (Scarface), Chris Rock, Sylvester Stallone, Ozzy Osbourne, Michael J Fox, Dr. Phil, Tracy Morgan, Bill Cosby, Pauly Shore, Mel Gibson, Dennis Hopper, Gary Busey and Danny […]
I had a dinner party last night at my penthouse at the Cape Royale Hotel, and I must just say that the star of the show (besides the Jack Daniel’s, Corona beer, Boschendal bubbly and La Fee absinthe) was “The World In Vogue” coffee table book I bought for La Muse a while ago. It’s […]

We have FIFTY double movie tickets to […]

That is, if you book with Groupon. Go peak your head out the window. Do you see the sunshine that we’re dealing with today? It’s an absolute joke. While the rest of the country is “gripped” by a cold spell, Cape Town is rocking the city’s collective faces off with a stiff little 24 degrees […]
When you see a headline that includes two things that you love, it is pretty hard not to shout it out to the world. Let’s take YOU, for example… Imagine if YOU received an email saying someone had created a new type of food which is a hybrid of chocolate and pork crackling – imagine […]

We’re pretty tight with Jack Daniel, here at 2oceansvibe. By now you should be fully aware that we have been liberating people on Friday afternoons – kidnapping people from their offices and generally enforcing Jack Daniel’s (and our) belief that people should not be working on Friday afternoons. But we’re not the only ones doing […]
We are very pleased to see people catching on to the notion of work-free Fridays, and today’s entries have been no exception. Interestingly, this week ladies are taking the lead in embracing the art of Friday relaxation. A noteworthy mention goes to @em_skye, who is heading up the West Coast for the weekend, looking very […]
BOS Ice Tea has launched a new campaign to fight the winter blues – The BOS Gravelocity Challenge. Anyone can take part, there’s lots of prizes to be won (iPods, iPads, bucketloads of BOS) and it’s fun, silly and very interactive. Rob van Vuuren and Louw Venter (of Corné & Twakkie fame) showcase the art […]
2oceansVibe Radio broadcast the Premier Show on Friday from a cosy Italian spot at the V&A Waterfront called Meloncino. Why would we be broadcasting from there, you ask? We were busy treating one lucky lad by the name of Brendon Bain to an afternoon of jollification, courtesy of Jack Daniels. In case you missed the […]
Our original article about the Waterfront iStore (entitled “iStore Does Not Need Your Business” has been read over 10,000 times. This is mainly due to the fact that the article ranks number 1 in Google if you search for “cape town iStore.” the beauty of this situation is that the comments section of the article […]

We’re campaigning to have Friday working hours abolished […]
