Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft, and holder of the title of “worst teeth for a rich person” also happens to own the world’s second largest yacht – The Octopus. One of the logistical tentacles of the Octopus is a helicopter used to ferry crew and guests to and from the vessel. It crashed into the ocean. Click for the pic.
Kira’s social group is reclining once more in svelt comfort enjoying drinks, when conversation turns to one of Tarah’s recent conquests, Marc. Kira knows the name, and a lot more, apparently. Cape Town really is a small town… Sex In The Mother City is based on true happenings in the Mother City (names have been […]
Yes, you read that correctly. The founder of Facebook’s founder is letting everyone who’ll listen know that he is Mark Zuckerberg’s dad. I didn’t believe it at first either, as I’m sure money or status isn’t a big issue in the Zuckerberg household. Anyway, it’s more the manner in which the claiming happened that is important here guys. This is rather awesome.
A competition has just kicked off looking for “Stephenie Meyer’s Biggest Superfan”, with South Africa identified as one of the 10 biggest Twilight countries in the world. This should also explain why Nelson Mandela was in hospital last week.
Little so-called “Caucasian” girls generally tend to get involved in one of two extra-curricular activities… ballet or horse-riding. It’s a tradition, a rite of passage that soccer moms feel compelled to offer their little princesses. The reasons vary: they’ll look cute in a tutu, the riding lessons are cheaper than a pony, “I never got […]
Although I didn’t know it at the time, all my friends at school in England were way cooler than me. I was listening to Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Guns n’ Roses, Blind Melon and the Peppers while they were into the Acid Jazz scene that was considered extremely hip in England at the time. But I […]
Not that we mind topless shots of women here at 2oceansvibe – we give one every week in our tasteful Tuesday Tabs feature. It is appealing features like this which contributes to 2oceansvibe being referred to as ‘cool’ and an ‘alternative’ news source. It is interesting to note that our ‘traditional’ press seems to be going […]
The ANCYL agrees with a lot of outlandish practices, but they do not, however, agree with the serving of any kind of food off human bodies. Especially when the food in question is served off a half-naked model draped across a white Maserati. Jeez, just when I was thinking of joining.
After 21 seasons of the Hugh Hefner of reality shows, Survivor, a contestant is now being sued for allegedly leaking advance information about the show before its air date. If you are currently watching Survivor Gabon on our national broadcaster, then wait until 2016 before reading further.
One of the many reasons I love Cape Town is the city’s knack of hosting the most irie outdoor parties imaginable. It’s always impressive to witness the heights of earthiness that people manage to reach. I’m not sure whether this YSL model has been spending much time merrymaking at these events, but her earthiness got this ad banned.
I’m not sure if this beats prosthetic tentacles, but it’s close. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are building snake-like robots that can reach delicate organs that don’t generally respond well to getting cut open. Because the prospect of surgery wasn’t frightening enough before.
We’ve covered a lot of Ass-Flavoured Products on this website and have noticed great progress for this alternative, yet popular flavour. From hot and cold drinks, to cleaning products and even lighters, it seemed the ass flavour could be applied to anything. But it’s one thing giving everything an ass ‘edge,’ a completely different thing […]
If you are not familiar with the laws of the State of California, in the United States, then you might not know that Pot is legal… If you have a prescription from your doctor. Suffice it to say, there are a lot more sickly people in California than there used to be, all in desperate need of the calming effects of the Mary Jane.
The Karoo is seeing a lot of action lately. Just the other day the semi-arid wonderland saw off some cult defectives now every major gas company with a drill wants a piece. Companies are lining up to upend most of the Karoo in search of shale gas. Shale gas is the latest “it” gas in the energy game and the Karoo has a lot of it.
Now while we do spend an inordinate amount of time in the aisles of Mabu Vinyl, I must let you know about another source I have for vinyl. And not just any vinyl, NEW vinyl. Many people are unaware that limited numbers of LPs are pressed, every time a new CD is released. Follow link […]
When the world’s greatest living icon sends a message that simply says, “bring back the trophy”, AND your president dresses up in Proteas gear to send you off, you know the pressure is on. One wonders if that dreaded c-word is banned from the Proteas camp as they prepare to leave our shores in search of that ever elusive first World Cup triumph…
“Hey guys. I’m Gary Thomas. Welcome to The Waiting Room. We’re going to play you some music, in case you were wondering about all…this.” So began Gary Thomas’ Long Street gig last night. It stayed awkward, but the music got better as the night went on.
Mubarak’s farewell party [photo:news24] Mubarak Pledges To Step Down In September – Protesters Not Digging It – Bowing to eight days of protests, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said Tuesday he will not seek office again in elections scheduled for September, but vowed to stay in the country and finish his term. The concession, the largest the […]
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you read that right, oral sex will kill you. According to scientists, who are yet to get past first base, people who have had more than five oral-sex partners in their lifetime are 250% more likely to have throat cancer than the orally celibate.
Speak2Tweet was launched over the weekend, a joint venture by Twitter and Google that allows anybody to post to Twitter using just a phone connection, in the hopes of getting more word out about the situation in Egypt as it unfolds. Google bought the company that engineered the technology last week because hey, it’s Google.
Well, well, well. Do we have a little surprise to make your lives better, my friends. I’m sure you’ll be aware that the Imogen Heap Gigs at the Paul Cluver Forest Amphitheatre, in association with 2oceansvibe Radio (because we love you) sold out long ago. Sad news for those of you who weren’t able to snap […]
Birds have often attained legendary status amongst their two legged admirers and achieved such feats as drug smuggling and speeds greater than broadband. Now New Caledonian Crows have stepped it up a notch and proven their tool knowledge is possibly a way to beat the I-only-like-shiny-things stereotype they have always been stuck with.
Ja, so apparently Julian Assange travelled in drag to hide from people after him. The 1.8m super spy liked to dress up as an old woman to effortlessly glide through the world’s airports with that funny walk of his. Sometimes he’d stay in disguise for much longer than was needed. The way you hide from government “spooks” says a lot about your personality.
You might have been in the ‘cool group’ at school and you might even think you are ‘cool’ right now. Are you? Doesn’t matter, either way, it’s only fair if you give some credit to your social guidance counsellor – Facebook – for helping your coolness vibe resonate onto others. A study says so.
Another season of Survivor South Africa is on its way – this time set in the Maldives. We bring you as much pre-release information that Mnet is willing to release, and a hunch that this coming season was so bitterly fought that at least one contestant quit production. Click through for more.
One of Cape Town’s most famous and celebrated clothing brands, Dirty South, is back in the mix with an epic new range for summer. Having originally made their name in the trucker cap market, Dirty South has progressed into a slick streetwear brand, offering some of the best-cut T-shirts you’ll ever find. That’s why it […]
Manic Monday, also known as Transfer Deadline Day, was ended as Big Ben tolled at 11pm UK time yesternight. Torres had been choppered down to West London, Carroll had been whisked from North East to North West and Charlie Adam was seen in a rubber dingy trying to defect from Blackpool. One man is responsible for the hullabaloo: Roman Abramovich.
Hey, remember the whole thunder/ice/volcano scenario in Iceland that cancelled a couple of European flights? Well a similar sort of deal went down in Japan on Sunday, between the Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures. Insert your own joke about Japan copying the west. Awesome photos follow.
I tweeted about this the other day and people lost their minds. Especially when they saw the attached images I took, of the dashboard in the new MINI Countryman. It shows my Twitter stream coming through LIVE – and even shows each person’s Twitter icon, in full colour. And don’t get me started on the […]
