Applying for jobs sucks. It’s awkward and painful and time-consuming. But some people know how to do it right – how to avoid getting caught in the rat-trap of sweaty-palmed interviews and communicate a certain level of coolness at the same time. Presented below is one such person’s job application. Please – read it, and learn to be a better person.
The phrase goes, “If you can’t handle the heat, get the hell out of the kitchen”. In economic terms, the past two years have been pretty chilly, which has in turn left more than a few businesses owners feeling a little hot under the collar. Controversial Cape Town restaurant, Jardine, is the latest to fall foul of the global recession, and the head chef has made for greener pastures.
Finally. Something to spend this R1.5 million I have lying around on. Lennon’s 1965 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Coupe (I don’t know what most of that means!) is being auctioned off in February; they expect it go for slightly more than his dark green Chrysler station wagon, which was recently auctioned off for $5,500 (ZAR 37.5k).

Today’s game involves a car that was spotted on the streets of Cape Town. This is a given, as it has a stunning WP numberplate. But the big question is, WHERE in Cape Town was it spotted? More to the point, what suburb? Follow the link to see the answer!
Now your chocolate hoovering habit is propping up the revenues of would-be dictators, more specifically, the regime of the Ivory Coast’s political limpet, Laurent Gbagbo. Feel bad. Feel very bad. And fat. Evil and fat.
Our Dear Leader, The Great and Beneficent Kim Jong Il has, after all these years of preserving its purity, seen it fit to allow his adoring public access to the great and magnificent Pyongyang Golf Complex. Players from all across the world (except South Korea, naturally) are invited to take part in the first North Korean Amateur Golf Open.
Surfing has always been a big part of the vibe (heck, we even had The Beach Boys visit us a couple weeks back!) and that is why we’re more than a little excited to announce that South Africa’s own World #2 surfer, Jordy Smith, will be coming into the 2oceansvibe Radio studio on Friday morning. […]
Facebook Mark Zuckerberg’s New Home – Zuckerberg’s new place is in the same small Palo Alto neighborhood of College Terrace as his old four-bedroom house, which was put up for rent last month. And while Zuckerberg’s former home is a mere seven blocks away, his new digs make commuting to work even easier: It’s just […]
Alright so we’ve got our hands on a preview for the Fight Club Musical. You know they’re making a Fight Club musical, right? Jared Leto’s comment on the whole affair is, “It smells like disaster, but it could be genius.” We’re undecided at this point.
While the floods in Australia are devastating, there are a number of natural disasters unfolding on a significantly larger human and geographic scale – and we don’t seem to give a damn.
This is the fifth installment of the weekly Sex In The Mother City series. Kira is house-sitting for friends at their Fresnaye house, the day after meeting over-achiever Shane. Once her fellow house sitters arrive, and both Shane and Kira add their friends Paul and Celeste to the equation, the offers for multi-partnered liaisons come […]
It has been found! Well, refound. If you’re a big Quentin Tarantino fan, which you almost certainly are, then you will love this clip from his very first movie “My Best Friend’s Birthday”. The whole thing is like concentrated Tarantino, squeezed into a half an hour. everything is there: his hyper-manic acting, black humour and very clever camera work and dialogue. Click through for the (very long) video.
I thought it only fair to start my year off back at 2oceansvibe with a Detroit Auto Show roundup. It’s what I do best you see, sort of. After the jump you will see some of the highlights of this year’s North American Motor Show.
It’s pretty good! I mean, as lightsaber-based films go. Also, it’s called ‘3 Minutes’ which is helpful if you want the title to tell you how long a film is. They could’ve called The English Patient ‘Too Goddamned Long,’ for instance. Incidentally, is this what Glee is? Running around with lightsabers? Because then I would understand its appeal.
That’s a pretty big call. I know. Alright then, I’ll hedge my bets. He’ll definitely murder either Daniel Radcliffe or JK Rowling. After long, protracted periods of stalking, high court judgments, and coincidental midnight run-ins on apartment stair wells, this here guy will eventually figure out that he has been jilted. And he will be pissed off.
No, Winnie – the big question is, ‘who the fuck’ do you think YOU are? Winnie Mandela Asks Cop ‘Who The Fuck Do You Think You Are?” – Winnie Madikizela-Mandela is demanding an apology from two police officers who pulled over her car on the M1 highway because it was weaving recklessly through traffic at […]
When Bombshell Mcgee (the woman who broke up Sandra Bullock’s marriage with Jesse James) and porn star Bree Olson went on stage and kissed during a Pauly Shore stage act in Palm Springs, it was clearly too much for Charlie Sheen – who took them straight up to his room immediately afterwards. You know which award Bree Olson won in 2008, right? Click link for more..
Strange. We just had one. As sad as this is, this is likely to unfortunately cement in international tourists’ subconscious that old cliche of Africa as beautiful and exotic, but dangerous. On the face of it there are some differences here to the Anni Dewani murder – the victim was strangled, not shot, and it happened in Mauritius, not Gugulethu. Nevertheless, the couple was on honeymoon. The wife got murdered, in Africa.
In an incident that the Catholic Church will almost certainly deem a great work of faith, Italian New Years celebrator Darco Sangermano sneezed a miracle.
Temptress, tart, floozy, flirt, cheap, tramp, harlot, trollop, easy, ho’… are just some of the endearing terms you’ll hear being thrown around the playground these days. Pubescent promiscuity is nothing new – think back to that adult movie Kids or a little further back to Sodom and Gomorrah.
Yesterday we had a comment on our story, Rob Taylor Took The Ultimate Jump which prompted us to do a little extra digging. Professionals suggest that his unusual behaviour leading up to his death may have been a result of drug use or a mental health ailment.
So. ‘Phoenix Jones,’ some dude in Seattle who wears a cape/mask outfit and stops crime with a stun gun and fists got his nose broken over the weekend after trying to stop a night-time brawl. Surprise! Local police have advised Jones and the rest of his super-team (‘Red Dragon’ & ‘Buster Joe’) to stop getting involved in dangerous situations.
South African police commissioner and original gangsta Bheki Cele was really impressed with his police work yesterday when he swooped down from on high in his mighty helicopter.
The target of his wrath was a house in the township of Katlehong, East of Johannesburg, where police minions had found a large arms cache.
A judge put his foot down and ended the trial between the Associated Press and Shepard Fairey, the artist who painted 2008’s most famous image. The AP said the dead beat (their words) artist took their photograph and copied it with crayons and pens and things. He said are you crazy, it’s art. They said are you crazy, it looks exactly the same. I don’t think the judge had a choice.
I don’t know how to feel about this. I loved Fight Club the way you love an eccentric uncle; it was weird and it stank of smoke and made people feel uncomfortable, but it was awesome. The fact that it’s director, David Fincher wants to revisit it is great; the whole ‘musical’ angle is where I start panicking.
UK student, Edward Woollard, has been sentenced to two years and eight months behind bars for violent disorder. What kind of violent disorder, you might ask? The kind of violent disorder that sees you lob a large fire extinguisher at the potentially mushy heads of policemen eight stories below you. And he got very close. Watch the video after the break.
[image:game-reserve.com] Five Rhino Poachers Shot Dead – Five rhino poachers have been shot dead in the Kruger National Park since Saturday. Three of them were shot dead on Tuesday morning shortly after 06:00 during a shoot-out with rangers in the Pretoriuskop area. According to information obtained confidentially by Beeld, no fewer than ten poachers have […]
Michael Douglas has beaten cancer and says it’s largely thanks to the strong genes bestowed upon him by his father, Kirk. Kirk Douglas is 94 and still as strong as a canary. Michael Douglas’s mother is pushing 90. If my calculations are correct that means he will live for at least 30 more years.
If you’re planning a trip to Acapulco Mexico in the hopes of getting into the Mexican drug-trade, it’s best that you have a rethink; as it appears that the drug cartels in Mexico really are as horrifically and creatively violent as they are on TV.
