CHRISTOPHER WALKEN ATTENDS CAPE TOWN TENS LAUNCH
09 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I attended the much anticipated Cape Town 10’s launch at The Grand, in Camps Bay on Thursday evening last week. It was everything I had dreamed of, and more. Especially when I saw Roxy Louw arrive with Hollywood superstar, Christopher Walken. “I got this watch..” Ok, it wasn’t Christopher Walken, it was actually ex-Springbok, Rob […]

CYCLIST WEARS HELMET INDOORS AT CAPRICE
08 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Grant M, sent this pic in. Taken at Caprice on Saturday, citing the incident as “very emboerrissing.” Very toilet behaviour It’s not just emboerrissing, Grant, it’s downright rude. It is anti-social, ignorant behaviour by a handful of people who, as children, were never taught any manners. I would have got the wooden spoon […]

JOKERS LAUNCH SPRINGBOK EMBLEM ONLINE GAME
08 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
A few weeks ago we featured the mock Parks-Board Bokkie signs that some very funny individuals had professionally made and placed around Cape Town. Needless to say, they saw the mention on 2oceansvibe and emailed me today to tell me about their latest over-the-top statement. This time it’s an online game which let’s you control […]

ANDY FORDHAM RETURNS TO THE DARTS CIRCUIT
04 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I said his name in the headline as though you should know who he is. Don’t fret, neither do I. But I DID think you would enjoy the story you’re about to read and, in particular his photo and forearms. My goodness! This is also, I’m sure, quite a treat for the ex-pats over in […]

HELMETS IN PUBLIC EPIDEMIC SPREADS
04 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
We recently covered a couple cases of various individuals wearing helmets in public (here and here). The phenomena and social inadequacy seems to have spread further – this time, air travel. Pete L’s mate sent him these pics he took somewhere in the East, boarding a Vietnam Airlines plane. Come now Absolutely no problem […]

2OCEANSVIBE LUV SPORT TEAM WIN THE BOWLS
03 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Sunday brought the final day of the Movember initiative – which was celebrated with a day of bowls at the Fresnaye Bowling Club. A stunning day for it, what! But it wasn’t just a DAY at the bowling club, it was a chance to walk away with The Balls of Glory. The […]

HARD COMMENTARY
27 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Whilst Matthew Pearce and Kobus Wiese (with his incredibly strained voice and abysmal English) have succeeded in sidelining Hugh Bladen and have taken South African commentating to another level altogether. Exactly what level that is, is a discussion for another day. But, nonetheless, the subject of sports commentary is fresh in the air. There is […]

REPEAT OFFENDERS
26 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Pavlov’s dogs learnt faster than this. Nice helmet Your friend’s balls are also very impressive Our social etiquette teachings are clearly far from over, as the exact same two cyclists from the last improper cyclist behaviour article are spotted again at Giovanni’s – and again the one fellow doesn’t understand the no-helmet rule.

PLAY GARDEN CRICKET AT YOUR DESK!
25 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
The guys that designed 2oceansvibe, HelloComputer, have just finished a new project for MTN, called the MTN Backyard Series. They’ve made an online game which is, honestly, as close as you can get to a proper game of garden cricket (or “stump” as it’s called in the Southern Suburbs) within the confines of your office. […]

RUGBY EXPO WORLD FIRST COMES TO AN END
25 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Whilst Martin Johnson is probably still reeling from the pounding he got on Saturday, it seems rugby in England has managed to excel in other forms. Remember in August when I told you about the inaugural Rugby Expo? Ja, well it happened – and it was a RAGING success by all accounts. With […]

MARTIN JOHNSON RESTRAINS HIMSELF
24 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I received a call from Dave after the Springboks drilled England 6-42 on Saturday (congas to Barndog and the boys). He mentioned something about the post match interview with and something about a vindictive little journalist. I searched for it on the “internet” but it was too soon after the event to find anything. Naturally […]

SHIMANO BOYS UP IN ARMS
19 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It seems yesterday’s post about cyclists wearing helmets in public places has caused a furore of sorts at the SA cycling Mecca, TheHubSA. The Hub SA – The cyclists’ place of worship Whilst the five pages of message board rants hasn’t eclipsed the previous record of 15, it seems to be gaining momentum. […]

FAIL
18 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I think the best way to put it into perspective would be to think back to school days when the bullies used to put “KICK ME” stickers on the back of the geeks’ blazers, and they would get “gat-skops” all day without realising why. Only this time the geeks have put the stickers on themselves […]

WEEKEND REVIEW AND A SQUIZZ AT THE DIARY
18 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
After a stunning meal at The Grand in Camps Bay on Friday night (with emphasis on the food, rather than the service) and a solid toot at Caprice, Saturday’s weather followed through without effort. A stunning day was had at The Entrepreneur’s pile, as we indulged in some surf and turf spectator action; with the […]

LUKE WATSON CONTRADICTION
13 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I see the topic of Luke Watson’s September 2006 Sports Illustrated quote coming up more and more. You know the one: “Playing for the Boks would be a great honour. It has the potential and it has the ability to become one of the most powerful emblems this world has seen. It stands for […]

CAN WE AT LEAST REMOVE OUR HELMETS?
10 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Like taxis, we have come to tolerate our lycra-engulfed brethren and now realise that the only defense is to simply divert young childrens’ attention away from the bizarre behaviour and stray balls on display. Sunday morning gave us some extreme examples of how the Shimano Warriors’ anti-social behaviour has gone WAY past the edge of […]

SPRINGBOK EMBLEM GENIUS
05 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
This is quite brilliant. You’ll remember this image was/is used in advertisements and on the streets to create awareness with regards to mountain fires and the resulting danger to animals, with the caption usually being a quote from a tearful “BOKKIE,” saying, “Look what you’re doing!” with a dramatic fire in the background. Well someone […]

What a stunning little story sent in by our very own G-Man. Times online reports: World’s worst boxer throws in the towel on lucrative career as human punchbag Peter Buckley, defeated 256 times, says that his next fight will be his last. He boxes so often that he sometimes turns up with a […]

NEWBIE BOWLS – LAWN BOWLS FOR THE COOL KIDS
29 Oct 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
A couple of weeks back I told you about Newbie Bowls, the lawn bowling phenomenan engulfing Cape Town. In particular, I mentioned the tournaments they put together at The Glen Country Club above La Med in Clifton. Well… I couldn’t resist and ended up going to see for myself. Wow! I can get VERY used […]

GOTTA LOVE SEA POINT
28 Oct 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
As I often say, these things look pretty normal around here, until you take a picture of them and realise, Christ, this is NOT normal. Ilan W sent this in of a skateboarder catching a ride on the side of a front-end loader on Sea Point’s Beach Road. Here we see our boy waiting at […]

EXTREME GOLF 101
28 Oct 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I honestly didn’t know what to expect when I pressed play on this clip. I noticed Paul Snodgrass and the Golf Punk crew on a mountain top, taking numerous swings at a ball. There seemed to be a helicopter of sorts in the background. I wasn’t quite sure where it was all going. Neither did […]

OVER TO HUGH BLADEN
24 Oct 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Hugh “Blades” Bladen, the South African rugby commentating institution, is no stranger to spoofs, parodies and tributes. And this most recent shrine must surely be the most professionally put together example yet. Something I feel you will enjoy. I must therefore steer you towards OverToHugh.co.za: overtohugh.co.za The site includes all sorts of trivia […]

THE GOLDEN AGE OF FORMULA 1
22 Oct 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
With one race left in this year’s F1 championship, and the chance to watch Lewis Hamilton blow it in the very last race, I thought a little F1 post was due. Don’t get me wrong, I am genuinely a big fan of Hamilton’s. It’s more to do with the spectacle of watching the poms deal […]

THIS IS QUALITY HUMOUR
20 Oct 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
So we’ve established that Madonna and Guy Ritchie are overs, and that she has been bonking New York Yankee, Alex Rodriguez. We also gather that she referred to Guy Ritchie as Emotionally Retarded at a concert in Boston last week and the messiness of their divorce promises to rival that of Paul McCartney and The […]
