You know at school when you were playing cricket, or tennis, or badminton, or javelin, or whatever, and the coach lent in for a little advice? “Go hard.” That’s what every self-respecting coach tells his charges when the moment demands it. Even if you fail, at least you’ve failed hard. And Marine Taxis have gone […]

A national hero For breakfast, it’s steak porridge. For lunch, it’s steak. Around 3pm it’s a blended steak meal replacement. For dinner, it’s steak, with a side of biltong. We could be talking of no other than South Africa’s freshest Guinness World Record holder, Jan Braai.
It’s not just fast cars, luxury villas, beautiful models, fine clothes, good service and champagne that we care about here at 2oceansvibe. Oh no – science and technology are right up there as well. How else could we have created SilverStreak, using merely my thoughts and a strand of hair from the TBG? Correct – […]

Remember that story we ran yesterday about Bob Skinstad’s foundation ‘Bobs For Good’ following through on Julius Malema’s broken promise? You’ll recall we included an old newspaper article about Malema’s 19-month old promise to the kids and mentioned the fact that the Bobs For Good Foundation had unwittingly made good his lies. We even called […]

Anyone who went the first time will happily confirm it was the greatest party of their lives. Well it’s happening again – and it’s gonna be crazier than ever.

When it broke onto news agents’ racks in the 1970s, everyone knew that “Easyriders” was reading material for tough guys. Furthermore, you knew that those guys probably had beards, leather jackets, and a primal love for their mothers. But the headlines on the covers themselves left absolutely no doubt. These are some of my favourites […]
We’re pretty excited (and so are you, by the looks of things!) about what’s going on at 2oceansvibe Radio and it’s always encouraging to hear stories confirming we’re on the right track. Like the fact that the FM signal in the UK is being shut down in five years time and the fact that the […]

I received another one of those “Seth you gotta see this bru – it’s the funniest thing ever bru” emails. I reluctantly followed the link and pressed play on the video. I should mention at this point that most emails I get start off like that and most are crap. This time, however, the sender […]
The face of a slave owner… If you were a domestic excellence technician, what kind of professional would you prefer to work for? I know which bracket of society I’d be angling for – medical doctors. They earn a good bit of tin, you’ll never suffer a lack of attention when you’re in the throws […]
If Rocky was the ultimate underdog sports movie of the ’70s, The Karate Kid did the same for the ’80s. Both films received nominations for Oscars and both were directed by John G. Avildsen, who obviously took a shine to directing these glory stories – subsequently directing several sequels for each of the popular franchises. […]

Remember the most hated bakkie in Cape Town? The Big Issue vendor who suffered unwarranted humiliation at the hands of has shown us once again why this country is ultimately worth believing in.

When the news came through that the Bobs for Good Foundation had delivered 282 pairs of shoes to Makanyu Primary school in the rural village of Hampego in Limpopo, I was sure that the school’s name had come up in the press before. So I did a little research and, sure enough, the school HAD […]
The jailed blogger, or “The SilverStreak in his natural habitat” Unless the only entrant in the blog awards is the government. And the government was the judging panel. Even then, they’d probably be a little reticent to set that kind of thing up. Apparently Bahrain isn’t so keen on bloggers, or that “Freedom of Expression” […]
A study published in scientific journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B suggests comes right out and claims that each and every bug on this planet (insects, arachnids and otherwise) enjoys its own individual personality. This from Discovery News:
David Thorne has been getting a lot of stick lately – some people have been leaving comments under his past email adventures, saying that he is causing misery and pain to other people. That’s all very well – but round these parts, he cracks us up. In this latest online interaction, things get quite hectique, […]

On Saturday afternoon, at around 15h30, a group of young men in a white bakkie (that’s a “pick-up” or a “ute” for our foreign readers) called a Big Issue vendor over to their stationary vehicle at a traffic light in central Cape Town. They then allegedly poured acid water all over her, and her wares. […]
With the movie The Social Network coming out next month, Facebook really is the talk of the town. Or talk of the earth, I should rather say. The excitement relating to Facebook is largely to do with the speed at which its grown in such a short time. It is relatively new in our lives. […]
New Cristiano Ronaldo Armani Jeans Commercial – It’s quite funny to see that he spends most of the ad in his jocks, with the actual jeans only featuring at the very end. But such is the power of Cristiano’s body, apparently. I’m sure I will be made to do the same thing, following my underwear […]
