I trust you caught the article the other day about how Obama unwittingly helped promote the new Rugby World Cup movie, after Nelson Mandela SUDDENLY received an ESPY award for his connection to sport some 15 years ago? Oh you missed it? No problem – here it is right here. Morgan Freeman and Matt […]
We continue this feel-good period with a recent quote from Welsh international and Lions rugby player, Martyn Williams, on his blog/column (here), following the recent tour to South Africa. Lions flanker, Martyn Williams Saturday’s game was one of the toughest I have ever been involved in. We had altitude to contend with, it was […]
I’ve received quite a few emails and sms’s and calls about this ESPY Awards vibe that was on TV a couple weeks back. People were really “touched” by their Nelson Mandela “tribute.” For the uninformed, the ESPY Awards is an annual sports awards event created and broadcast by American cable television network ESPN. The Arthur […]

You’ll recall the article and video I gave you a few days ago, of Formula 1 racing driver, Felipe Massa’s accident after being hit in the head by a flying car part (here ). He nearly died but is injured and unable to continue racing in the foreseeable future. That’s all very well, but the […]

Bob Skinstad, The Character Formerly Known As The Loose Forward, finally got back to me on the eve of my departure to Los Angeles. You see, I arrive there on the first weekend of the Tri Nations (that SA are playing) and wouldn’t know WHERE to start, in terms of finding a venue to watch. […]

Paul from 1800 restaurant downstairs at the Cape Royale (click that if you haven’t seen this place yet) made a call to my room on Sunday night – “Thanks for the Butlers Pizza” he said, “the staff are all feeling the vibe.” Aah, good, the 10 larges had obviously arrived! Wonderful. They’ve got a lovely […]
Interesting headline, no? It was sort of a “mish/mash” of what I was thinking when I first saw this. No don’t fret – there is nothing wrong with this fellow. He is wearing a wetsuit which has a shark attack design on it. Quite a vibe, don’t you think? There are a few […]
Cycling helmet attacks in the Southern Suburbs and beyond are a rarity – a rarity that surely adds to the draw of that particular semi-rural lifestyle. Well that’s all changing now, as the helmet attacks in public spaces are becoming more and more common that side of the mountain. This revolting display was taken at […]
Those of you who watch the Rock Paper Scissors championships on ESPN (footage here) will know that these tournaments are no joke. Some people think that anyone can be good at RPS. No, no, my friend – this is not the case. Neighbourhood & Olmeca Edición Black Tequila are proud to present Cape […]
Some of you may remember the pics (taken by Max) we posted last month of Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman in character as Francois Pienaar and Nelson Mandela respectively (here).

Those of you who watched Sunday’s Wimbledon men’s final would have enjoyed the crowd viewing pleasure.

Just a reminder of what he’s dealing with: Whatya thinkin’? That’s […]

It is not only the larny sidewalk cafe’s and trendy restaurants that are subjected to this madness and intolerable behaviour dished out by cyclists. Cyclists who seem hell-bent on wearing their helmets in public places; in some kind of sick alien-style ritual that forms the core of these helmet attacks that seem to be spreading […]
Judging by the amount of people sending the link to me, you CLEARLY missed the mention and video of Jordy Smith’s Rodeo Flip we featured last week Friday (here). Shame, maybe you should stop skimming over things? And maybe you should stop sending things before checking they haven’t been featured on 2oceansvibe? Funnily enough, I […]

Check it out! How […]
You know when cameramen at sporting events do little pans of the crowd and zoom in on interesting people? Like at the tennis they often zoom in on royalty and celebrities. And at Newlands cricket they often zoom in on smoking hot drunk UCT students. Ja, well, I’m not sure if you caught the day […]
Jeepers, Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova threw out a very cool old school vibe during the first round of Wimbledon yesterday. Reminiscent of the styles of yesteryear and, dare I say, Harry Flashman, it seems the on court fashion stakes are pretty high this year. A quick game of tennis, wot?[source] General Sharapova[source] […]
There have been all sorts of claims and suggestions as to the Top Gear TV show mystery precision driver, The Stig’s identity over the years. While it is understood that they have changed from time to time (previous article here), yesterday’s Top Gear show (jokingly) revealed someone who you probably didn’t expect. One of the […]
While everyone seems to be locked in a war of words in the comments sections of the Adidas vs Puma and Vida e Cyclist protest articles (check those out – mayhem!), we have something far more peaceful and rewarding to announce.
