“You’ll Throw Away Your Gumboots And Relax” – Trevor Manuel
23 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
This was one of the remarks made by Trevor when he addressed a press briefing relating to the acid mine water drainage situation around jozi. We should take cognisance as it comes from the man who spent many years in charge of our country’s finances and who is also arguably the most trustworthy politician around. If that exists.

This past Thursday visitors to the Pilanesberg Game Reserve, which is located in the North West province near Rustenburg, were treated to a rather unpleasant experience.

Bieber Fever May Be Deadly
17 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Poor , Ezperanza Spalding- I don’t know who she is either, but apparently she’s won “Best New Artist” at Sunday’s Grammys, despite Justin Bieber being the overwhelming favourite. This has sparked outrage amongst Bieber’s fans or “Beliebers” as they are known, and they have called for her head.

This morning’s headlines: The Berlusconi case keeps getting creepier and Hustler announce they’re developing Harry Potter porn, entitled “This Ain’t Harry Potter”. Wow, the return of Beavis and Butt-Head sounds remarkably savoury. Yup, they’re back and they’ll still be watching Whitesnake tribute music videos. Oh, and Jersey Shore.

Facebook Used To Hire Hitman
15 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
If you’ve been charged with rape, it’s best that you don’t post on your Facebook profile that you need a hitman, ASAP, to help sort out the victim of your alleged crime. It’s especially a bad idea if that person can see your Facebook page.

11 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment

So on this Friday afternoon treat yourself to a gander at Barcelona midfielder Xavi’s chinwag with the Guardian. Putadas, mama mias and putas.

11 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
With statistics indicating that the average person only stands a ten percent chance of actually surviving an attack by a leopard, Pieta Ncube can consider himself a very lucky man.

10 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Nothing much needs to be said in addition to the title of this post. Before I first saw this video on the Telegraph’s trusty website, I too had seen the link. I did my best to ignore it, but the urge to push my right index finger down proved too strong. What does that say about me? [VIDEO]

TopTV Making People Scared And Angry
10 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
Look, no company is without it’s awkward infant stages, but TopTV is starting to abuse that privilege. When they launched last year no one answered the phone at their call centre. Then all their customers received an unscrambled TV signal – even the ones who didn’t pay their subscriptions. The latest balls-up involves people paying for TopTV who aren’t even subscribed to the broadcaster.

But obviously that’s not all. That wouldn’t be spicy enough. Apparently The Hawks are also looking for more than 100 live crocodiles which have disappeared from a farm near Ga-Rankuwa, north of Pretoria, a spokesman said on Monday. Steve Irwin would be proud.

07 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Do you remember the infamous now ex-Zimbabwean Finance Minister Christopher Kuruneri and his clever property purchases in Llandudno a while back? Well, now in a twist of fate, and getting out of jail free once, Kuruneri will finally make his next move on Thursday after Robert Mugabe played him into a cul-de-sac, and a submissive play in 2007.

04 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Jim W. Hawkins is just one of those guys who is either an eccentric with a love for school-girl cheerleading or a paedophile or a bit of both. But let’s give Jim the benefit of the doubt and say his is just one in a vast sea of crappy public-access TV shows.

FaceDaddy Claims It Hard
02 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Yes, you read that correctly. The founder of Facebook’s founder is letting everyone who’ll listen know that he is Mark Zuckerberg’s dad. I didn’t believe it at first either, as I’m sure money or status isn’t a big issue in the Zuckerberg household. Anyway, it’s more the manner in which the claiming happened that is important here guys. This is rather awesome.

Not that we mind topless shots of women here at 2oceansvibe – we give one every week in our tasteful Tuesday Tabs feature. It is appealing features like this which contributes to 2oceansvibe being referred to as ‘cool’ and an ‘alternative’ news source.

31 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Alright, yes, I know, I’m the liberal media and I’m just getting all uppity at Fox over it’s insane coverage of this silly little ‘Egypt’ thing.

31 Jan 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Ja, so basically I surprised even the great Silwood Cooking school, with my orgasmic roast summer vegetable dish. But I can’t take all the credit for it – as it was sent through from France, by Mother Dearest. Click link for the video (and recipe), in case you missed it. Fans of Idols’ Adeline will be quite pleased with this too..

I’m a huge fan of The Office, both Ricky Gervais and Steve Merchant’s original and the American rendition. Steve Carell’s recent announcement that he will no longer resume his role as Michael Scott genuinely forced moisture from my face. I was immediately cheered up by an awe-inspiring clip: a meeting between Michael and David Brent.
