The June 2010 issue of Vanity Fair I’m so stoked I came up with this whole World Cup Football idea, because now even Vanity Fair, the greatest magazine on earth, has joined in the vibe! Their latest cover (click on the left menu to subscribe) features both Didier Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo, photographed by Annie […]
Thanks to everyone who submitted entries to the Sony Ericsson / 2oceansvibe competition to win an all-inclusive trip (plus a pair of tickets) to the 2010 Football World Cup Portugal vs Brazil game in Durban. We were well impressed with the effort you all put into your answers, as well as the creative you set […]
When it comes to headlines as incredible as that, I don’t think it’s right to mess around talking about nonsense. You want me to get to the point, right? Simply put, Sony Ericsson and 2oceansvibe have put together an EXCLUSIVE competition starting RIGHT NOW and ending on Monday, May 3 at 10h00. Portugal vs. Brazil […]
You simply don’t get a more comprehensive guide to the 2010 Football World Cup. And I’m not talking about a silly guide with silly information, I’m talking about information pertaining to every single game. Where it is being played, when it is being played, affected areas (with maps), base camps, training facilities – you name […]
THINGS COULDN’T BE TIGHTER There are four regular-season matches left in the 2010 Super 14 before the semi-final contestants are decided and things couldn’t be tighter with nine teams still in with a mathematical chance making the play-offs and going on win the competition. There’s still plenty to play for with the top three teams […]
That’s right, you heard me – the poms will be coming with their OWN vuvuzelas! Just when you thought you had the market cornered with that container of vuvuzelas you plan to sell, Sainsbury’s chain of supermarkets in the UK are cutting you off before the rabble even get here! God help us all.. Check […]
I’ve been struggling to keep quiet about this for quite some time now, as the excitement has been too much. After months of travel around Africa, resulting in an archive of thousands of never-seen-before photographs, one of South Africa’s top photographers and my friend, Andrew Verster-Cohen (VC), has finally released his African football book, entitled […]
Back in Feb we told you about one of our favourite SA big wave surfers, Chris Bertish, who completely beat the odds and won the world’s most prestigious big wave surfing event, “Mavericks.” No, it has nothing to do with Top Gun: 15-02-2010 Chris Bertish Wins Mavericks Big-Wave Surf Compo – We mention Chris Bertish […]
These T-shirts are currently being produced in the UK. Awesome.. [thanks earl]
2oceansvibe Character, Gigi O’Connor (The Interior Decorator) recently returned from a harrowing (yet absolutely hilarious) holiday in Tofu, Mozambique. Those of you who know The Interior Decorator will be keenly aware that roughing it is not exactly in her top five pasttimes. Her blog, Dominico House, and line of work suggests that Gigi enjoys the […]
The 2oceansvibers out there show their support in all sorts of ways. Some of them just drop an email from time to time, saying how much they enjoy the vibe, whilst others prefer to stalk and ask weird questions in public. Either way, I’ve got nothing but love for you, baby! But then you get […]
This is the vibe the UK press are going for, in one of the tabloids consumed by the masses. And you get two papers for the price of one! Baking! Nice! Exellent. That’s just stunning! Great timing, this whole vibe of ET’s murder vs Malema’s song. Take that, combined with the British press’ propensity for […]
Independent Online has compiled a list of the world’s top sporting cheaters, with the late Hansie Cronje stealing second place (see what I did there?), after 100 meter sprinter, Ben Johnson. Ben Johnson claimed the top spot, thanks to his 1988 Seoul Olympic Games doping skandaal. Hansie Cronje The article reads: 2. Hansie Cronje (South […]
The world is mourning a legend. Paul the psychic octopus has died at his home at the Oberhausen Sea Life Centre in Germany. His death has been expected however, as octpuses (I prefer octpi) generally only live for a couple of years. Paul was born in January 2008.
I’ll get straight to it, so listen carefully – if you deposit £40 or more into your lottery account, you will automatically stand in line to win a VIP trip to the 2010 Monaco F1 Grand Prix 2010 . But WAIT, they will double your deposit at the same time (£80) and you get to […]
It’s been a crazy last few weeks that saw Tiger back in the rough after a porn star released some pretty raunchy text messages, Ernie wine win again and Warnie release an underwear line. What a genius initiative by Warnie to release his new range of ‘Spinners’ jocks and socks. Blokes already have no idea when […]
God, how emboerrissing! “Pistol” Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi ended up at each other’s throats during a Haiti charity event in California this weekend. 16,000 people turned up to support the action, which included a doubles match with Pete Sampras and Roger Federer on one side, and Andre Agassi and Rafael Nadal on the other. […]
This is probably the one you were looking for. Footage of Lance Armstrong at the beginning of the Argus, having a coffee with his team mate, trying to ignore the cops and manic fans all around. Followed by the start, the finish, and Lance hopping into a helicopter and disappearing into the sky. Because that’s […]
I popped into the breakfast banquet vibe at Constantia Uitsig on Thursday. Prawn-City, you might call it. Not that I mind – as long as there aren’t any pricks riding through red lights or dining with their helmets on – what’s not to like? One-on-one: Seven-time Tour de France champion, Lance Armstrong talks to ‘the […]
And it’s official (albeit possibly the biggest understatement of the year), India have gone cricket bev*k once again. Today see’s the opening of IPL3 and the subcontinent couldn’t be happier to have their tournament back from the Republic. And I’m not using the phrase ‘bev*k’ lightly. Taking the IPL away from India for a year is […]
I was always amazed that the band LIVE had a song which made use of the Xhosa dialect. But, in hindsight, it’s not that amazing. After all it did appear on their album Throwing Copper which came out in 1994 – the same year Nelson Mandela became president. So it was probably a tribute to […]
That’s pretty radical! Hey? And I wouldn’t rule it out if I were you. Remember 2006 when outsider Crash surprised the world and beat Brokeback Mountain to win Best Film? Ja, exactly! I must say, I had no idea that Great Odds also covered thing like The Oscars. Did you know that? Seriously, I thought […]
My buddy David Grier is in the mix again – and this time is slightly different to his earlier vibes, when he completed the first ever joint continuous run of the Great Wall of China, some 4000km in 98 days. Ja, I thought that might refresh your memory! So check this out – he’s taking […]
Well we’ve hit the 100 day mark, before the 2010 World Cup kicks off in South Africa. There is so much to look forward to and we, here at 2oceansvibe, are electric with antipasta anticipation! Sorry, I was in Italiano mode back there, because I’ve managed to get my grubby little paws on these shots […]
Iron Mike sends me stuff from time to time. He’s improved a lot, although he has, on more than one occasion, been guilty of the cardinal sin of sending me content that has already featured on 2oceansvibe. Punishable by death, if I so wished. But it’s hard to put out a hit on Iron Mike, […]
That’s how we were rolling at the BMW International Polo on Saturday, as we drowned in oysters and champagne. It was my first polo game, as we watched SA demolish take on Italy. Everyone was there, from Ryk and Vanessa to Michelle and Roxy – not to mention my buddies Julian and Wimpie from Top […]
England rugby international, Stuart Abbott MBE (2oceansvibe Character, The Inside Centre ) is very knowledgeable in the way of the prawn. Having lived in both Cape Town and London for many years, he can spot them a mile away, especially when it comes to the bad habits they exhibit, without a care in the world […]
I certainly won’t be missing an opportunity to meet the great man and hopefully raise our concerns and get his views on various cycling topics often raised here on 2oceansvibe. You know, from cycling through red traffic lights, to balls exposed in front of children and the wearing of cycling helmets whilst dinging. But, you […]
Remember when you were a kid, and all you wanted to be when you grew up was Tiger Woods!? He was loaded, had a Scandinavian wife and ate salmon off Angelina Jolie for breakfast. He was the American Dream. Well, it seems those days are gone. (Even though some would argue that there are a […]
Cape Town comedian, Paul Snodgrass has just returned from a week or so in the US, during which he attended the Dallas NBA AllStar game. That’s pretty big.. Let’s check it out: I have just got back from the NBA Allstar game in Dallas, jet lagged beyond belief. What a trip though. Here are some […]
