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.
Steven Spielberg is a Hollywood legend. This is the premise of Super 8, a new mystery, science-fiction thriller from writer-director J.J. Abrams that functions as a tribute to Spielberg, who’s signed on as producer. In case you haven’t heard of Jeffrey Jacob Abrams, he’s the guy that brought us Mission: Impossible III and the new […]
It seems that there truly isn’t a day goes by where some politician is caught on the take, then denies it, then blames the media, and then gets off. Monday was Malema’s turn and Tuesday Was Bheki’s. His mate Nathi got to explain just why the chief needed to spend 1.498 million Rand on plane trips.
The most exciting neighbourhood creation concept to hit South Africa, NameYourHood, is in full swing. The first two neighbourhoods under the microscope enjoyed over 400 names submitted over the last month. The NameYourHood panel painstakingly whittled that list down to 10 names per neighbourhood and now it’s time to vote! The final name chosen for […]
Speaking in New York yesterday, the former French finance minister and now new IMF head, Christine Lagarde, warned that despite the positive response in the financial markets to bailouts, fresh turmoil could easily boil over if debt crises aren’t properly managed now. She also really wants the Republicans and Democrats in Washington to stop squabbling so much.
Earlier this week Seth told you about the “Give Respect, Get Respect” campaign in America. It seems four- and two-wheeled road users in the UK might also benefit from this message. After seeing a video of himself assaulting a cyclist on the internet, a motorist has now offered his apology, saying he is “severely embarrassed.”
Touch the snow.. Army Helps Motorists Stuck In The Snow – The army was called in on Tuesday to help evacuate truck drivers stranded on Van Reenen’s Pass after the heaviest snowfalls in KwaZulu-Natal in two decades. SANDF spokesperson Siphiwe Dlamini said members of the infantry battalion based in Ladysmith helped move vehicles stuck in the […]
2 December sees the South African release of Real Steel, featuring Hugh Jackman. It is about boxing, but instead of humans we are talking robots in the fighting ring! We can bring you the very first South African look at images from this “gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future.” You are welcome.
A six-part reality series about the Duchess of York’s psychological issues was always liable to be slightly embarrassing viewing right? But no-one expected her to cry so much. The show, Finding Sarah, has just finished flighting in the UK and it seems Fergie just could not stop tearing up during filming. Even her poor daughters were caught up in the emotional roller-coaster, when surely all they wanted to do for the rest of 2011 was recover from the royal wedding (outfits) earlier this year.
Where are you going to be at 18h00 this evening? I know what I’m going to be doing – and let’s be honest about this – you know what you should be doing too, right? Something awesome might happen. The Old Spice Guy has accepted Fabio’s challenge and they will have some sort of bathroom face-off, live, on YouTube.
So I was in Cape Town the other week. Nice bit of South Africa, that. I take much pleasure in pissing Cape Town off (it’s not like you’re not asking for it, though, the way you lot dress), but honestly, it’s a delightful bit of real estate. The year I spent there in 2007 was […]
Zebedia Mpofu allegedly had the audacity to tell a colleague at work that a soft drink and packet of biscuits he was having for lunch came courtesy of Zimbabwe’s economic policies under Robert Mugabe’s main rival, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai. Thank goodness someone heard and reported this traitor, who now has to stand trail for insulting and/or undermining Mugabe.
Our literary correspondent, Bruce Manley, got his hands on Dan Retief’s incredibly popular book, The Springboks And The Holy Grail. Click through for a review of the book, and an interview of Dan by Ian F on 2oceansVibe Radio’s Ian F Show.
My friend Lara is a vet in training and spent most of this month putting her hands in animals. Whilst out fiddling with animals in the Kruger Park, she noticed that even the parksboard is trying to cash in by introducing various ass-flavoured products.
Chinese officials have ordered two of the five fake stores already located in the south-western city of Kunming to suspend business while they’re investigated, a local government website said on Monday. But, it’s since emerged that similar fakes exist in countries from Croatia to Venezuela.
In the wake of the Norwegian terror attacks, a cartoonist and writer from Norway has written a letter to the creators of South Park. In it he appeals to them to help defuse the damage that Anders Behring Breivik has caused over the weekend, by writing an episode of South Park about it. Read his full message inside.
