Popcorn, Jack Daniel’s And Mustangs – Where Were You?
23 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
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 […]

Goldman Sachs Getting Rid Of Potted Plants To Lower Overheads
22 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
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.

Coffee Pinotage – The Sickly Sweet Plot Thickens
17 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 30 Comments
I’d really hoped that coffee-tasting wines had been put to bed in this column. I had had my rant and the comments were made; I had purged myself from the nastiness, hoping never again to have to speak of these wines here. But it reared its vile little head recently when I read that caffeine had been found in one of the coffee styled Pinotages. I diluted my Chianti Classico with bitter tears, as I knew once again I would write something.

Mr. Cat And The Jackal: Do The Roots Matter?
17 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
As I stood there, mouth slightly ajar, listening to Bittereinder spew out lyrics of defiance and love at Oppikoppi, it suddenly hit me that what I truly loved about this eccentric band was its fearsome Afrikaans-ness. This was an unapologetic and proud Afrikaans band. What’s more, Bittereinder aren’t idiotic about it. They’re angry without being bitter, and they are proud without being supremacist about it. You don’t get that very often. And it got me thinking about the “roots” of the band that followed.

Surf And Turf – The Good Kind
16 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
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 […]

The Wine Show In All Its Faultering Glory
12 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 9 Comments
I attended the Wine Show Joburg over the weekend. I had planned to write a column comparing the different drinkers at the shows in Joburg to those here in the Cape. I didn’t get very far there.

Local Lottery Winner Still Hasn’t Claimed R30M Winnings From 2010
12 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Cruising around somewhere in Pretoria, is the unwitting winner of R30-million in the National Lottery. He or she has been going about their business every day, with no idea that they hold the ticket to the PowerBall jackpot drawn on 17 August last year. And there are only six more days until the winnings expire.

Things I Wish They Had Told Me Before Oppikoppi
11 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 11 Comments
This year was my first Oppikoppi. I went as press, but I had a lot of fun. I can’t believe what I’ve been missing all these years. I know you’re dying to know, so these were the best performances that I saw: Bittereinder, Michelle Shocked, Sipho “Hotstix” Mabuse, Not My Dog, and Mr Cat and the Jackal.

Tonight’s Powerball Lottery Sitting On R1.5 Billion
10 Aug 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Just the other day we saw this couple taking home R1.8 Billion in the Euromillions lottery. I was one of MANY people that bought tickets for that lottery. Pity my ship didn’t come in – or rather my YACHT! That R1.8 Billion couple had the same chances as me – but one thing’s for sure, […]

Album Review: Frank Sinatra – Best Of Vegas
08 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
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 […]

“The World In Vogue – People, Parties, Places” – The Greatest Coffee Table Book You Will Ever Own
06 Aug 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

It’s All Going A Bit Hybrid
05 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
I think it’s incredibly easy to forget that we are living through one of the great technological revolutions in human history. And the car is of course well and truly part of that revolution. Yesterday I sampled what might be one of the most advanced cars on the road today, and to be honest, I’m not sold.

How To Drink Wine And Not Look Like A Muppet
03 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 7 Comments
Forget history lessons, interesting facts, supermarket choices, hints of vanilla, toasted oak or residual sugar;. Let’s be honest, for most people the only reason they want to learn anything about wine – past the operation of a corkscrew – is so they don’t look like a tit.

Is This The End Of The Mad, Fun Hatchback?
02 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
What I love most about touring car championships is that they germinated the idea of the basic pocket rocket in the public mind. Think of the glory days of British touring car championships – would they have been the same without the plucky Mark II Mini bouncing about the track, holding its own against magnificent Jaguars and brutal American Ford Mustangs? Would our idea of a fun hatchback be the same if it wasn’t for touring car championships?

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 […]

French Cars – Let’s Have That Chat
29 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
One of the reasons I love driving cars from all over the world is that I wrongly or rightly approach the vehicle with the stereotype of the people who made it clouding my judgement. It’s fun. And with the French, there is a veritable cheese platter of character traits from which to choose.

Naked Girls Lathered In Bubbly: Just Kidding, Bubbly History Lesson – Part 2
28 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Last week I told you a bit about Champagne’s history, and left you at around the 16th/17th century. I was going to try and take you all the way up to the present in this column. I then realised that this would not be possible in 100 words. So I shelved the pot-holed history of […]
