According to our latest survey, 40% of our 2oceansvibe readers indulge in these elaborate spinning classes taking place on our roads – ie. ‘cycling.’ And so I felt it pertinent to mention this deal I found at Groupon, which gets you 51% off at (what is apparently) a popular online cycling shop, called buycycle.co.za. I […]
You’ve got to give it to celebrity train smash, Lindsay Lohan – she certainly knows how to turn a bad situation around. She’s only gone and nabbed the role that nobody thought she’d get, playing Liz Taylor in an upcoming biopic. There is, however, one condition.
Do you wonder if you won one of the 10 X R500 Sunglass Hut Vouchers? Or one of the 5 X cases of Boschendal bubbly? Or one of the 5 X cases of De Grendel rosé? Or, better yet, maybe it was YOU who won the iPad 2, from Digicape? Winners were picked by a […]
It’s normally the scientists and engineers that go up into space, but NASA has realised that while people are up there, they need to eat. Whilst a little ahead of itself, a study has opened in Hawaii to find a chef for Mars. Do you have what it takes?
Seven million Californians are in favour of gay marriage becoming legal. Home to 98,000 same-sex couples, if California would just come to the party already it would be one of the gay rights movement’s biggest achievements ever. But a petition lodged yesterday by groups that still want to limit marriage to a man and a woman has put the legalisation of same-sex marriages in the state on hold.

Well, this is embarrassing. A US commander of NATO troops in Afghanistan has apologised after copies of the Koran (and other religious Islamic materials) were sent to be burned in a rubbish tip. The books were found by Afghan Muslims working on the dump. They told friends and this resulted in about 2 000 people rocking up at the US base to assault it with fire bombs and stones.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn, that former head of the IMF who totally didn’t rape anybody, is being questioned by French police as a suspect in a prostitution ring inquiry, a prosecutor says. The man who was probably going to be the next president of France could be held for up to 48 hours.
When I first moved to Cape Town and thought about Constantia, my mind was filled with images of botoxed ladies who lunch, old money and a nest of well to-dos in a leafy green valley. I was aware of the historic importance of the valley, but details were scant. Today botoxed ladies who lunch still wonder about in my imagined view of the valley, but they are all sipping on excellent Sauvignon Blancs. Don’t miss the competition at the end of this column!
The human race is going to have to start believing in science – and quickly – if we want a hope in hell of surviving the environmental crisis we’re facing. This was the sentiment at a recent gathering of the world’s pre-eminent scientific minds in Vancouver. At the meeting, thousands of scientists discussed the problem that their industry is “under seige”, and that the world needs help to believe in science again.
BBC weather forecaster, Alex Deakin, managed to predict what no other weather forecaster has previously forecast on Saturday evening’s BBC World weather report. He meant to say “sunshine”, but he definitely didn’t, and instead conjured up a very strange weather prediction indeed. N5FW.
“The simple fact is you feel responsible for Goose and you have a confidence problem. Now I’m not gonna sit here and blow sunshine up your ass, Lieutenant. A good pilot is compelled to evaluate what’s happened, so he can apply what he’s learned. Up there, we gotta push it. That’s our job. It’s your […]

Seriously – don’t even joke. Have you seen how rad the new Puma Faas 800 running shoes are? I get very light-headed when I see things like this, but am unable to hold them immediately. I want to feel their touch against my skin. God, they look beautiful. You can win a pair for yourself, […]
Champing at the bit to see Clifton Shores?! Well, the wait is over as DSTv’s Vuzu has nabbed the rights to screen the hotly anticipated, Mother City-based “reality” show sometime this year.
Beluga Restaurant in Cape Town, which was recently involved in a widely-publicized altercation with Cape Town blogger, Shaun Oakes, has stated that they WILL DONATE R25 TO UNICEF FOR EVERY FEEDBACK EMAIL THEY RECEIVE FROM CUSTOMERS.

Indulging in a tirade of cursing, before starting a fight outside the Tower of Terror ride at the Disney California Adventure Park in Anaheim, a 53-year old man was pepper-sprayed into submission before being taken into custody by park security.
It all started on Twitter, right after the Grammys. Presumably it was a bunch of young kids, born too late to really understand who Paul McCartney is and was. Tweets left and right started asking: Who the fuck is Paul McCartney? Funny or Die took it upon themselves to explain to the world exactly who the man is. Video after the jump.
Capetonian dog owners have been reminded to make sure their pets are registered with their local municipality by July this year, or risk having them impounded. The by-law received further attention from the City following an incident where a three-year-old boy was mauled to death by a pack of strays in Philippi last year.
This is one of the better videos you will see in this lifetime. Very often these videos are quite iffy, with some viewers questioning if the footage did in fact show what it promised. In this case the guy (the husband of the President of Finland) was so busted, that he even pulled a ‘Picasso’ […]

This week, South Africa’s trash press are devoting many of those nasty thin pages of theirs to the ongoing marriage breakdown of former-Springbok rugby darling, Joost van der Westhuizen, and his estranged wife, Afrikaans popstrel Amor Vittone.

We’ve just picked up the promo trailers for the new season of Mad Men. If you are like us (which you are) then you would have been chomping at the bit, waiting for season 5 to come out. Well, it looks like the wait will soon be over. Check out the trailer about Roger below […]
It would seem that South Africa is not the only country facing a poaching crisis. Demand for ivory has led to a massive spree of poaching in Cameroon, which has left almost 300 elephants dead since mid-January. This is according to the country’s minister of forestry and wildlife.
I think we may have found wolverine. A Swedish man went for a drive a little while ago, December the 19th to be exact. Whilst on his drive, he was caught in a snowstorm which left him trapped in his car. On February the 17th, just two days shy of two months in a car, he was found. Alive.
As we charge along into March, you may already be feeling like you need a break from what 2012 has thrown at you. Recent psychological research suggests that the best vacation you can book for yourself is probably short in duration, and punctuated with plenty of sweet experiences.
