From bowling to boning! It looks like there are more things to think about before a big game, besides fielding practice and the bowling machine. Gary Kirsten believes a good session before heading on to the sports field is all India’s cricketers need to bring home the trophies. Judging by the action the boys get, […]
An anonymous source dropped off a flash drive with the Cape Royale concierge, for my attention. The drive contained scans of all the documents pertaining to the recent Formula 1 scandal, involving the Renault F1 team, boss Flavio Briatore and driver Nelson Piquet Jnr. The same scandal which has resulted in Flavio’s recent immediate resignation […]
Life isn’t fair. Whiskey prices are at an all-time high. Women are branded as men. Elton John can’t adopt and Eskom bosses get disgusting bonuses. That’s just the way it is. We have to accept it. What we shouldn’t have to accept, however, is the fact that not a single Proteas name made it onto […]
Oh my God – IT’S ALL HAPPENING! And this, JUST after Michael Schumacher almost returned to the sport! What a manic off-the-track season! Flavio BriatoreEx-boss of Renault Formula 1 Now listen up..

It seems the prawns are moving further and further away from District 9, as my Saturday morning was punctuated with prawn activity. I was leaving Pick ‘n Pay in Camps Bay and had to slam on the brakes as a large group of them on bicycles came speeding through a red traffic light. I noticed […]
See that dead horse lying there? Ja, watch this. [grabs whip] Once again, I’m not claiming this, but I’m just SAYING, that the latest issue YOU Magazine [*cough* of which I am a cover story] is currently featured on CNN (here). This, shortly after being featured in the Daily Mail (here), as well as the […]

It’s amazing how the world of sport ebbs and flows. This time last week I was drunk. Wait, that’s still the same. This time last week I was perched proudly on my soapbox, preaching to the world about Springbok infallibility. I was also quietly optimistic about Bafana’s match up against Deutschland and very confident about […]
Sharks Rugby have really outdone themselves this time! They’ve expanded the successful sharks brand and franchise into an online dating service. And check out the chicks they’ve got on the front page – wowzers! singlesharks.co.za Ja, look, those are obviously just promotion or Sharks girls on the right of the screen – I […]
It’s no secret that I am a petanque (or “boules”) champion in the Provencial town of Menerbes – extending perhaps as far as Lacoste and, dare I say, Avignon. It is rumoured that Pierre Cardin wants to challenge me for the title, but that remains to be seen. Imagine my excitement when I clapped eyes […]
It goes without saying that the 10 September YOU Magazine issue which featured yours truly (on page 130) is causing absolute mayhem overseas. No, no, not because of me, but rather the fact that it features Caster Semenya. YOU Magazine decided to gave her a make-over, after the controversy surrounding her gender. This, from the […]
For those of you who weren’t aware, the US Open is on at the moment. It’s full of dramas this year, with top seeds falling all over the show! Speaking of falling, enjoy this ball boy using his head to walk. Yu! [thanks 3]
As things hot up with Western Province Rugby’s signing of Springbok speedster and Gillette poster-boy, Bryan Habana , we contemplate how things might change for him once he moves to the Cape. Jussis, maar hy’s vinnig, neh?! Awesome dental work! He just needs to get a little bray going and he’ll be 100% […]
INCREDIBLE scenes over the weekend outside Vida e in Green Point, as we see a “prawn” approaching a car guard. A “prawn” approaches a car guard outside Vida e, Green Point The car guard is not quite sure about that prawn – as we notice continued multi-species integration on the streets of Cape […]
ANC Youth League President Julius Malema , who was recently referred to as Julia Malema in an article (here) about gold medalist Caster Semen’s gender controversy, has defended his statement that white people did not come out to support gold medalist Caster Semenya at the airport when she arrived home. Julia Malema iafrica […]
South Africa is a complicated place. The mind boggles at some of the stuff that goes down here- strikes, senseless killings, corruption and divided politics are things that we, as South Africans, deal with on a daily basis. It has apparently gotten so bad, that certain individuals qualify for refugee status abroad. But watching the […]
I trust you lot are aware that Bob Skinstad (The Character Formerly Known as The Loose Forward) is with the Supersport team over in Australia – covering the Springboks overseas leg of the Tri-Nations series. The Springboks, just to remind you, are currently the greatest rugby team on earth. They’re like rugby ninja’s and, what’s […]
Taken by The Surfer off the coast of South Africa. A moment in time with the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy). The TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) So poised and graceful, the global icon and shark whisperer is just at home in water, as he is on land and in the air.
Can you even cope for a second with the fact that Kika-Sack have finally bowed to public pressure and added the colour pink to their range of Kika-Sack balls? Pink, ‘cos you are so very.. I know – it’s too awesome for words! And to celebrate the pink vibe, we’re giving away 50 […]
It’s the interview everyone has been waiting for. Springbok captain, John Smit and his merry band of legends have arrived safely in the Netherworld, as they begin their overseas leg of the Tri-Nations tournament.

Do you know about Mpho Gift Ngoepe ? Gift is a black Sotho tribesman from South Africa who literally grew up in a South African club baseball team’s clubhouse (his mother was/is their caretaker) and made his way to America. He has also just been featured in the US Sports Illustrated. This, my friends, is […]
I didn’t give this much of a chance when it was sent in to me. But then I did, and I was pleased. 2oceansvibe’s relationship with non-A-to-B-transportation related cycling and cyclists is a torrid and well-documented vibe, a lot of which can be seen in graphic detail in our much celebrated and aptly named “CYCLING” […]
Less than a week ago we featured a report about Usian Bolt breaking his own 100m record (here). Well, would you believe it, he’s gone and done it again! Except this time he’s broken the 200m World Record! Check it out: Berlin, Germany (20 August, 2009) – Three-time Jamaican Olympic gold medallist […]
How anyone can watch soap operas is beyond me. They’re unrealistic and they drag on forever. Marlena on Days of our Lives, for example, spent her life dead, in a coma, kidnapped or possessed by the devil. That’s no way to live! And besides, who needs a soap opera when you have real-life, exciting drama […]
2oceansvibe Character “The Surfer” (AKA Anthony Fox) is making his name as a surf photographer and certainly took things to the next level this morning as the Cape Times published his pic of Twiggy Baker surfing “Dungeons” on the front page. The wave vs. prison ordealI’ll take the wave.. Quite a mean vibe. […]

One thing Mossel Bay should never have done, is beat Heidelberg – especially when the fans were armed with knives, broken bottles, chairs and pipes. If you think the start of the video is hectique, just wait for the 2min55sec mark which brings us a scene not too disimmilar to a pack of hyenas hunting […]
Victory, we all know, is sweet at the best of times. Victory against the Wallabies, on the other hand, is similar to three courses of dessert followed by…you guessed it, dessert. Perhaps the only thing better than beating the Aussies at rugby is beating them at cricket, and after two wins against the All Blacks, […]
We wouldn’t normally put up anything to do with farts and/or toilet humour. But that all changes when the fart is delivered to us by the greatest golfer in the world, Tiger Woods. Please, if I may: Wonderful, just wonderful. [thanks ilan]
At first I thought it was an ad for Kika-Sack balls, but then realised that they have created some kind of world cup dance. Like the Macarena, except impossible for anyone over 50 to join in. Pretty rad. I might need to practice those moves. Who knows – maybe there will be another […]
