Crocodiles On A Plane
22 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
The sudden appearance of a crocodile onboard a routine flight in the Democratic Republic of Congo led to the plane crashing, killing 20. Only one passenger survived the crash, along with the crocodile; the crocodile was then killed with a machete. We’re not sure why this movie hasn’t been made yet.

Seven Creatures That Prove Nature Hates Us
21 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 15 Comments
For every cute little kitten, there are at least a million other animals out there that will literally eat your face off. Why? Because nature is an asshole, that’s why. While things like parktown prawns, great white sharks and rain spiders scare the bejezus out of me, they are nothing compared to these 7 creatures that prove that nature hates us and we are all going to die.

06 Oct 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It’s ‘Car Free Friday’ on December the 3rd and everyone at 2oceansvibe is on board. It’s just one day and it’s going to make a difference – a BIG difference. And it’s fun, too! I mean seriously, do you know how much fun public transport can be? You might even learn to love it. I certainly don’t mind doing it – I mean seriously, these angels are quite a smooth ride.. [VIDEO]

2oceansvibe Declares Summer Open
30 Sep 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
You know, I gave a talk recently and in the powerpoint presentation was a screenshot of an article from 2007. The article happened to be 2oceansvibe’s annual declaration of the opening of summer. I noted the date – 17 September, 2007. My goodness but it came early that year! Not so three years later as […]

Scores of dead pigeons lay strewn across the Table Bay Boulevard in Cape Town on the weekend, metres from the Cape Town International Convention Centre. A report has indicated that while the birds were initially thought to have suffered from a mass bout of the deadly avine Newcastle’s Respiratory Disease (no relation to the mining […]

20 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Exxon Mobil positions it’s brand at the vanguard of innovating clean energy for the world. It has a clean, 21st century look. The employees on it’s corporate advertising posters are friendly, sharply dressed, multi-ethnic. It produces print advertisements in National Geographic like this: And they like to chat quite a bit about water on their […]

PELICAN EATS PIGEON
10 May 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
True 2oceansvibers who are also following 2oceansvibe on Twitter, will know that we indulged in some pigeon for lunch the other day in Menerbes – South of France. It was my first time eating such a small bird (insert supermodel joke here) and I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Here we have our neighbours, […]

DID SOMEONE SAY “WINTER?”
31 Mar 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Very strange behaviour, if you did. I’ll tell you why. You see this morning I tried something new – I went for a 5km run. Which is weird, given that I’m known as a 4km specialist. It’s true, people often refer to me as “The Four Kay Specialist.” It’s either that, or they call me […]

It’s all coming back It’s all coming back to me now There were moments of gold And there were flashes of light There were things we’d never do again But then they’d always seemed right There were nights of endless pleasure It was more than all your laws allow Baby, baby, baby Last night’s lightning […]

MISSING DOG – “COME IN, MOSCOW”
14 Jan 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 6 Comments
Please, dear God, do not see this as the start of a trend. We do NOT post lost dog ads on 2oceansvibe. But I just thought the rareness of receiving a lost dog ad in my inbox would be enough reason for this “one-off.” It’s very “niche,” don’t you think? And I am SO niche […]

WEMBLEY SQUARE LOSES ITS ROOF + EXTENSIVE PICS OF CAPE TOWN’S WIND DAMAGE
14 Dec 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
Most Capetonians will know all about the radically powerful wind that was blowing on Sunday. Whilst the Safe House stood strong and came out the other side unscathed, the same can not be said for Wembley Square – the Faircape development in Gardens. Roof sheeting on the road from Wembley Square’s roof (left) The roof […]

WHERE WERE YOU ON MONDAY?
24 Nov 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
Some of you may not have received the memo regarding Monday. We call it the weather report and it was showing a reading of “stupid” for the whole day. It started off like this: And ended like this: With all sorts happening in between. To check out the shots from the day, check out the […]

THE SUMMERTIME CHAMELEON
21 Oct 2009 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
It should be noted that yesterday I had not only my first run of Summer, but also my first swim! In the ocean, that is. It was most refreshing. I swam to Robben Island and back. Why lie? So anyway, summer is well and truly here and I’ve already lost count of how many summer […]

CAMPS BAY BEACH – RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW

I’ve had a stunning Summer’s day today. Popped into Yacht Squadron at the Waterfront (we are now calling this the “backfire” – a new word, by G-Man) to get my current Sebago shoes size as Mother Dearest is currently in the States and insists on buying me a pair. I don’t have a problem with […]

TRAFFIC CAM WEBSITE SHOWS MORE THAN JUST ROADS AND CARS
29 Sep 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
The fact that capetowntrafficcam.co.za gives you live webcam footage of the traffic situation on Cape Town’s roads, is one thing – but there is surely nothing wrong with taking in the sites while you’re doing it? Check out these STUNNING pics spotted on the site this morning. Milnerton region Camps Bay beach Nothing […]

2OCEANSVIBE DECLARES SUMMER OPEN!
28 Sep 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
It is tradition here at 2oceansvibe to “call it” when it feels right for us (for you). I remember back in 2007, we called it on September 17. Well it looks like it’s 11 days later this year. Don’t know why – probably a combination of El Nino, global warming and Michael Jackson’s death. Quietly […]

PIGEON FLIES FASTER THAN TELKOM BROADBAND
09 Sep 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
So a bunch of guys and girls finally had enough and got together to prove that Telkom’s Telkom “1Mb/s ADSL” lines are so low that a homing pigeon could probably deliver the data faster. So they stapled a 4Gb memory card to the pigeon’s leg and sent the same size file via Telkom Internet over […]

Answer : very cool! With a jet-pack like that attached to his back, one would hope the owner got some pet insurance for this hound? Don’t want that thing flying into walls and stuff. [thanks nikki]

IT’S 27 DEGREES ON FRIDAY
26 Aug 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 10 Comments
There are conflicting weather reports out there, including the one right here on 2oceansvibe. Believe what you want – personally, I take whatever shows the highest temperatures. That’s just how I roll – extremeness at all times. I found this on my iPhone using a stunning piece of software called WeatherPro. 27 degrees on […]

AS WE THINK BACK TO SUMMER
02 Jul 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 13 Comments
I shouldn’t really be talking about this, as I write from a hammock, somewhere in the Cote d’Azur. But I think it shows my compassion and love for you, given that a lot of you are reading this from the rainy plains of Cape Town. Now I trust we are embracing the change of season? […]
