Due to popular demand, we will be dusting off some of the biggest hits from the past and giving our newer readers a taste of yesteryear. Kicking off with this absolute beaut of a woman, spotted at Cavendish Square some time ago.. So I was leaving Cavendish Square on Friday after a thoroughly enjoyable Chunky […]
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.
Look, no one likes a flash mob, so try to refrain from breaking down our doors tomorrow, okay? One of the world’s most universally popular comics, Pablo Francisco, will be live on 2oceansVibe Radio‘s Morning Meeting tomorrow morning at 10h30. Be sure to tweet us your song requests and any questions you have for Pablo. […]
Clear your schedule this Friday afternoon. You, 2oceansVibe Radio and Jack Daniels are going to the movies. Why? Because everyone, at some point in their lives, has bunked work or school by going to the movies. And Jack Friday means you don’t work on Friday afternoons. Listen up. We have FIFTY double movie tickets to […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.
Do you want a bottle of the extra special Jack Daniels Gentleman Jack in your hands? Would you like to have that bottle engraved with a message of your choice? You can, and it’s so simple. Tweet a picture of yourself to 2oceansvibe chilling-out today with hashtag #jackfriday, OR mail us the self-same picture – […]
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 […]
We use the word “receptionist” fairly liberally. Yes, you’ll be manning the front desk, making coffee (good coffee), inflating beach balls, and using a walky-talky, but you’ll be doing a lot of other things, too. Fun things. And if it turns out that you have initiative and brains, you’ll make the step upstairs in no […]
Who can forget this charming couple who walked away with the R1,8 Billion EuroMillions lottery jackpot just a couple weeks ago? The chances are better if you buy a ticket… You can hate them as much as you want, but one thing is for sure – you gotta give them credit for buying a ticket! […]
The Bench, 2oceansVibe Radio‘s popular weekly sports and lifestyle show, will be broadcasting live from Caveau in Newlands on Saturday as part of the build-up to the Springboks’ second Tri-Nations Test of the year against the All Blacks. One a debonair and clean cut playboy and the other not, Crispin “Chowgaps” Inglis and Howie Kahn […]
2 December sees the South African release of Real Steel, featuring Hugh Jackman. It is about boxing, but instead of humans we are talking robots in the fighting ring! We can bring you the very first South African look at images from this “gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future.” You are welcome.
So I was in Cape Town the other week. Nice bit of South Africa, that. I take much pleasure in pissing Cape Town off (it’s not like you’re not asking for it, though, the way you lot dress), but honestly, it’s a delightful bit of real estate. The year I spent there in 2007 was […]
Every week we’re giving away a bottle of Jack Daniels to the person who tweets or emails the best picture of themselves taking a load off, and doing Friday’s the Jack way. How do you do Fridays the Jack way? Chill out, have a drink. Don’t work. Look, there’s very little that you can do, […]
As DSTV continues to bring out new technologies to disguise the fact that the actual content on Multichoice is a ball of shit, it is with the greatest sense of irony that their very own reality show is playing out and giving the true entertainment value we long for. Yes, it’s true. With all the […]
Bakkies might be sneakily becoming the new SUVs of our day. They come under a lot less GreenPeace-fire than big luxury 4x4s, and rightly so. They’ve got great diesel engines which are not only powerful but incredibly frugal to boot, and because the load bay is lined with melted rubber instead of the wool of rare sheep, you don’t mind getting it a bit dirty. I just can’t decide if this is a good thing.
MC Hammer is jamming a little 2oceansVibe Radio this fine morning, all the way from San Francisco. Shouldn’t you be doing the same? Tune in, right now, via your desktop, or smartphone.
Do you want a bottle of Jack Daniels in your hands? You can, and it’s so simple.

Here’s an example of a past winner: This competition is a weekly one, held every Friday. Once […]
Having debuted his solo career in 2008, making the top spots on numerous SA charts, Jesse has become an established artist in his own right, stepping out of his father’s shadow and making good on the world stage. By the time he was six months old he was on tour with his father, and between […]
I love bubbly. I can drink it first thing in the morning, just before I sleep, and at every intervening moment. Its racy freshness and cleansing bubbles inspire celebration, comfort the sad and refresh the weary. I have another name for Champagne: joie de vivre.
When the internet came along, and it spawned thousands of well-moneyed industries, the writers naturally followed. Tech journalists. Bloggers. Et cetera. These days, normal people do most of their reading on some sort of screen. Writing for online is huge. But it has its own, annoying memes that I wish would end. It’s like a never-ending insider joke and is a bit unimaginative.
As proud Springbok supporters, South Africa’s leading online radio station, 2oceansvibe Radio, is flattered to learn that the Springbok Squad have been tuning in to 2oceansvibe Radio whilst overseas on tour. Full-time 2oceansvibe Character, and part-time Springbok rugby captain, John Smit, sent through a tweet to Morning Show host, Ian F (ex-5FM), to clear up an […]
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 […]
I do feel sorry for the people out there who didn’t play the EuroMillions lottery over the last couple of weeks, as it rolled over and over, resulting in a jackpot of R1.8 Million (EUR 182 Million). They bitched and moaned about how stupid it was to enter the lottery, while we discussed buying $100 […]
