When you see a headline that includes two things that you love, it is pretty hard not to shout it out to the world. Let’s take YOU, for example… Imagine if YOU received an email saying someone had created a new type of food which is a hybrid of chocolate and pork crackling – imagine […]
One of the reasons I love driving cars from all over the world is that I wrongly or rightly approach the vehicle with the stereotype of the people who made it clouding my judgement. It’s fun. And with the French, there is a veritable cheese platter of character traits from which to choose.
Victor Burgos is one loco ese! After appearing on the local police department’s most wanted list, he posted a video of himself walking into a police station online. He also taunted the police with this Facebook status: “Catch me if you can, I’m in Brooklyn”. Guess where they caught him?

Tweet a picture of yourself to 2oceansvibe chilling-out today with hashtag #jackfriday, OR mail us the self-same picture – […]
I don’t know about you, but I for one am feeling like a real tit! I can’t believe I fell for that silly City Press article claiming Julius Malema uses his secret trust fund to fund his lavish lifestyle. It turns out he’s actually a young philanthropist and uses it to “fund charitable causes!”
South African Rugby Union chief executive, Jurie Roux, was totally pissed off yesterday when the media asked him whether or not the Springboks are actually at some secret training camp, in preparation for the World Cup.
We all have our lapses of judgment. But some of us make such horrendously poor decisions that one simply has to ask, “What were they on?”. Every week we bring you three contenders in what can only be described as a battle of small wits. So, with great pleasure we present this week’s three La […]
How’s this? Amy Winehouse’s family believes that a seizure related to abstinence from drinking is actually what killed her. The family says the singer quit alcohol cold turkey three weeks before she died. They think her tiny frame could not handle the shock of withdrawal, leading to her untimely death.
Facebook Bans Nirvana Cover, Then Says Nevermind – Facebook can’t seem to decide how it feels about nudity on the cover of Nirvana’s Nevermind. The social networking site reportedly removed – and later replaced – the artwork in its page for the 1991 album, initially finding the cover photograph violated the site’s terms of use. […]
There’s a growing body of evidence supporting the idea that alcoholism can be passed to one’s children genetically. So too, an addiction to drugs like crack cocaine. But recently, medical facilities in the US have reported an overwhelming number of cases of babies hooked on the same prescription drugs that were abused by their mothers during pregnancy.
Bigoted members of British society must be speedily wringing their hands and tensely furrowing their eyebrows in anger that this has happened. While not quite the same as the Name Your Hood campaign, Islamic extremists have launched a poster campaign across the UK proclaiming areas where Shariah law enforcement zones have been set up.
Today we received this harrowing report from San Francisco by a brave 2oceansViber. Before you continue, note that we indemnify ourselves from any angst or emotional complications that you may suffer as a result of reading the following letter.
Last week we told you that the National Union of Mineworkers were planning a “massive strike”. Lesiba Seshoka, their spokesperson, has now confirmed that 200 000 gold workers will down their tools at 6pm this afternoon and that “there is no chance of negotiations to halt the strike.”
Proteas pace bowler, Wayne Parnell, has converted from Christianity to Islam. And from reports he may well change his name to “Whallid”.
Last week I told you a bit about Champagne’s history, and left you at around the 16th/17th century. I was going to try and take you all the way up to the present in this column. I then realised that this would not be possible in 100 words. So I shelved the pot-holed history of […]
Snapped on the corner of Tennant Street and Sir Lowry Road. Just another day, fraught with random bouts of motoring danger in our eccentric city. [Thanks, Stefan]
There are two aspects to this video. The first is very obvious: girls chose to wash Russian-made cars in bikinis for Vladimir Putin, as the headline suggests. And the other is the awkward on air moment between the two television news presenters that happens after they cover the story.
It’s not often that you get all three. That’s why 1800 Grill Room at the Cape Royale has put together this very rare treat. Kicking off next week Thursday (4 August). I would advise you make reservations quite swiftly! 021 430 0506 info@18hundreddegrees.com
We use the word “receptionist” fairly liberally. Yes, you’ll be manning the front desk, making coffee (good coffee), inflating beach balls, and using a walky-talky, but you’ll be doing a lot of other things, too. Fun things. And if it turns out that you have initiative and brains, you’ll make the step upstairs in no […]
Who can forget this charming couple who walked away with the R1,8 Billion EuroMillions lottery jackpot just a couple weeks ago? The chances are better if you buy a ticket… You can hate them as much as you want, but one thing is for sure – you gotta give them credit for buying a ticket! […]
The pictures you are about to see involve an accident caused by a person in Monte Carlo. This person collided a Bentley with a Mercedes, Ferrari, Porsche AND an Aston Martin – resulting in total damages of R7.6m.
The Bench, 2oceansVibe Radio‘s popular weekly sports and lifestyle show, will be broadcasting live from Caveau in Newlands on Saturday as part of the build-up to the Springboks’ second Tri-Nations Test of the year against the All Blacks. One a debonair and clean cut playboy and the other not, Crispin “Chowgaps” Inglis and Howie Kahn […]
You’re going to love this story. Remember the guy who spilt his drink on the President during the Durban July last year? Well he’s been found guilty of assault.
L’Oréal’s Julia Roberts And Christy Turlington Ad Campaigns Banned – L’Oréal has been forced to pull ad campaigns featuring Pretty Woman star Julia Roberts and supermodel Christy Turlington, after the advertising watchdog upheld complaints by Liberal Democrat MP Jo Swinson that the images were overly airbrushed. [guardian] SA Population Tops 50 Million – South Africa’s […]
You know those news headlines that you ignore, because you think they’re gonna go away? So you ignore them and they don’t seem to go away. And then they become louder – and suddenly everyone is talking about them. And you realise that you are now WAY behind and you need to catch up. And […]
The blog of the TuksFM Bang Bang Breakfast Show on the University of Pretoria’s student radio station, TuksFM is trending on Twitter for all the wrong reasons. Spicy pics after the jump.
As you are well aware, the last few days have been somewhat of a nightmare for the many who’ve been stuck in cars along the N3 and Van Reenen’s pass. We are simply not used to snow and were certainly not prepared. But it wasn’t all doom and gloom, as this video illustrates.
When the Duchess of Cambridge’s hot sister, Pippa Middleton, isn’t appearing on best body part lists all over the world, she’s informing other equally important global trends. Such as baby names. Naming guide website, Nameberry, says Pippa’s recent rise to fame has led to her topping the most popular girl’s name list for 2011.
Piers Morgan might have been speaking nonsense when he made the modest claim that all he knew of phone hacking was that someone once told him that it was possible. The embattled CNN host, who has spent a fair amount of time defending his knowledge on hacking lately, appears to have forgotten about a 2009 interview.
When it comes to the food industry, one must always be on the lookout for exciting, new trends. As you know, Ass-Flavoured Products are very “in” right now and it therefore makes perfect sense for the Caltex garage at the Waterfront to launch a titillating new range of Pieman’s ass flavoured pies.
