One of the down sides about having Google AdSense ads displayed on one’s website is they have a mind of their own. And by “down” sides, I mean “hilarious” sides. How Google AdSense works, is the code which produces the ad actually reads your webpage and will publish an ad depending on the content – […]
In one of our most celebrated articles for quite some time (here), we featured a radio conversation between Radio 702’s Redi Direko and ANC Youth League spokesperson, Floyd Shivambu, where they attempted to discuss what he meant by his earlier statements claiming that Helen Zille was “sleeping around.” If you didn’t listen to that, I […]
I spotted The Killers performing at the end of The Late Show with David Letterman (the one with Tom Hanks). They were SO pumped it was RADICAL! I was genuinely sucked in and was just staring at the screen with my mouth open, covered in goose bumps. They had a full orchestra there as well. […]

Legendary actor and professional mood-swing sufferer, Alec Baldwin is in trouble after he featured on The Late Show with David Letterman which is on our screens tonight. The show ACTUALLY took place in The States on the 12th, but it’s only right that we get it a week late. I mean, shit, did you expect […]
I had an interview the other day with the cool cats at TechSmart.co.za. I thought it went very well. Here’s a little tid bit: Six awards including blog of the year, best original writing and most humorous. Did this come as a surprise? With six nominations, I certainly was hoping to get […]
Last week I gave you the first part (here) of my interview I did with the From the Couch boys in Hout Bay. Loads of fun. Here is the second part: You enjoy that Baby float joke at the end? Ja, thought you might. I was thinking about making you smile at the […]
This happened quite some time ago, but recent conversations have led me to believe that you might have missed it. It’s truly awesome and I assure you it will be very much enjoyed. It’s a video of the first winner of the US version of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire. The winner’s name is […]
My passion for Louis Vuitton is well documented (here, here and here) and I’d be hard pressed not to show you this blinder of a luxury toy. The Louis Vuitton “Breakfast in the dessert†trunk. Quietly enjoy this: Louis Vuitton “Breakfast in the dessert†trunk Basically what’s happened here, is a possibly-loaded Chinese […]
Hahahaha! Oh God, this is just stunning! I’ve just found out that the Julius Malema puppet used in the recent Nando’s ads, has been sold at an auction for R100,000. For those of you out of the loop, Nando’s very recently got into a bit of kak (or not really) after some controversial ads were […]
I’ve long sung the praises of Vanity Fair and it’s not stopping anytime soon. Especially when I see what they’re throwing around in the Italian Vanity Fair. I’m referring to a shoot with the sizzling Canadian model, Kastyn Reid. Goodness me! Kastyn ReidStats and facts here The ongoing theme of models eating food in […]
It started yesterday when Martin L from Diletto emailed me mentioning something about 2oceansvibe being down. I forwarded the email to Chris at iMod (my tech/seo guru and fellow SA Blog Award winner) and between us we couldn’t find anything wrong. “Thanks, Martin” I replied – but everything looks fine now. He wrote back confirming […]
MNET and Idols are going for the “World First” vibe, with regards to the incredibly embarrassing situation they are now in, having completely muffed the final vote counting exercise – something they hired the constantly troubled and shrouded in scandal Alexander Forbes company to do for them. “World first” – as in they’ve now got […]
The awesomeness and genius of the guy in this video cannot be emphasised enough. It reminds me of one of the many brilliant scenes from American Psycho, in which Patrick Bateman presents his new business card (watch it here) and announces, “”That’s bone, and the lettering is something called Silian Rail.” Except this is completely […]
You have heard the news that they are having an Idols final vote recount, right? No, I’m not kidding. Let’s break it down. This, from News24: Cape Town – M-Net has announced that they have begun to audit votes for Idols because of “system problems“. “The moment we were alerted to possible […]
A little bit awkward this whole vibe. It took place at at an after-party in New York for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala. Kiefer Sutherland was there and so was Brooke “Blue Lagoon” Shields. Then apparently this fashion designer guy, Jack McCollough, knocked Shields over. Whether it was on purpose or not […]

You know it’s pretty serious when Sky News report on a lottery rollover! Just last week we were raging (here) about the EuroMillions jackpot sitting at £82 million, which worked out to R1 billion. Well would you believe it, no-one won and the jackpot has rolled over for a SIXTH time! And now it’s sitting […]
Spotted in Cape Town, seemingly with reference to the global SWINE FLU outbreak and its possible spread in and around the Cape Flats. Oh dear me. We seriously need to work on our spelling guys. Are you aware that one word can change the story completely? And are you aware that two words […]
I was editing the last 2oceansvibe Weather Girls feature at iKraal head office the other day, and started playing some Tom Jones on my laptop. That’s when I received an email from Ken in the next room, with a link to this very early live video of “The Voice” dancing on stage. Oh my shattered […]
That’s right, the 2009 Gumball 3000 Rally runs from 2 to 8 May. For those of you who don’t know what it’s about, it’s a lot like the scooter rally we went on the other day through Cape Town, except completely different. It’s a cross country/ies 3,000 miles long and is done in ultra-luxurious, rare […]
Don’t know about you, but I just bought 5 lines for Friday’s Euromillions jackpot. I suggest you do the same. During a recession, why would you not? You know we don’t make a fuss about the EuroMillions lottery on 2oceansvibe unless it comes with a big jackpot. Well, this Friday is ANOTHER rollover with a […]

I don’t know too much about wine, to be quite honest. I drink wine that I think tastes good and that’s probably why I’ve settled for De Grendel wine. Quality stuff, easy drinking and affordable – with all the awards to boot (just in case there is a wine snob in the room!). The oldest […]
I received this on voting day from a reader who spotted it on TV. A member of the crowd was holding it up as Kevin Pietersen came in to bat. Pure quality [thanks kevin s]
This is a big day for Old Mutual . As a company that is known for it’s staid image and knack for red tape and corporate governance, it comes as a refreshing surprise that they have lifted a 5 year block on access to 2oceansvibe. And now, in this rare moment, the employees at Old […]
