GROOT CONSTANTIA ATTACK
07 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Just when we thought 2009 was going smoothly, this happens! The bizarre helmet religious war continues, as we take in images from this, an unprecedented attack at a Groot Constantia wine tasting. Readers are warned that the following image may cause vomiting. An incredibly thick-skinned cyclist parades indoors with his helmet on Now […]

POSH BANS BECKS FROM HOT INTERVIEWERS
23 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Given his history of banging their staff, it is kind of expected that Victoria Beckham pulled the plug on a planned hour long interview upon arrival in Milan this week. Especially after she did a spot of Googling with regards to the interviewer. These pictures were probably very similar to the pics she found. Ilaria […]

WE MAKE HEADWAY WITH THE CYCLISTS
22 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Fresh from not inviting me to his birthday party, Goldfish’s Dom sent this in, which earns him minimal points as he begins the mammoth climb back into the good books. You would have caught the various attacks along the Atlantic Seaboard, with regards to cyclists entering and dining in restaurants and eateries with their helmets […]

LATEST HELMET ATTACK AT NEWPORT DELI
18 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
The madness continues, as normal people everywhere, from Camps Bay to Mouille Point, are subjected to these unprovoked attacks on the social norm and general etiquette. This image, sent in by Shads, tells a harrowing story of ignorance, bad upbringing and emboerrissment. Grown adults, dining in a public eatery WITH their helmets on. Now […]

HELICOPTER VIEW OF THE 2010 GREEN POINT STADIUM
12 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I thought this would be a nice touch. Just a quick tour from the sky of the Green Point stadium. I just did it now for you. This morning. I just popped up and filmed it for you. Because I care. I’m lying, obviously. Someone else did it. Thanks for that, chum.. CLICK HERE […]

THE 148TH RUNNING OF THE QUEEN’S PLATE
11 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I remember a girl friend of 2oceansvibe being ever so slightly scorned at the emotional neglect dealt to her by 2oceansvibe’s “The Kitesurfer.” We had ploughed through a bottle of bubbly at Karma the one night and time came for me to exit. A tad tipsy, she said unto me (with her fingers snapping in […]

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 […]
