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 […]

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.

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 […]

This week’s Jack Friday competition was, despite the cold weather, a fiery contest. The quality of the tweeted entries is taking a sharply upward curve, so much so that this baby claimed the runner’s up place, courtesy of @PharSideUK.

Check out the First Lady of the United States freaking out in glee over the Bos Ice Tea on her lunch table in Woodstock yesterday. Ja. You know it.
When we said that we were going to revolutionize the South African work place by lobbying for shorter (read: “nonexistent”) Friday working hours, we weren’t kidding around. Proof? Thanks to the help of our friends at Jack Daniels, and the marvelous Last Word hotel group, we got ourselves a yacht. The Princess Emma, to be […]
Today is the 17th of the month. Instinctively, you know that that means. The Petrol gauge is flirting with the wrong side of the half-mark. The improvised wine-collection is running dry. The packet of cigarettes is looking dangerously roomy, and the Salticrax are beginning to look more austere than opulent. And as the cash-coffers dry […]
Sounds pretty remarkable, doesn’t it? You see, it all started when I was cruising around Schipol Airport and noticed that they were selling the iPad 2 for MORE than what you can buy one from at Digicape. Digicape are selling the iPad 2 with 32Gb and 3G for R6,599 – no spice. Can you believe […]
