Cape Town vibers, a little blue bird told me that South African muso Farryl Purkiss will be playing an exclusive, intimate gig at a chilled, private venue on the Atlantic Seaboard this evening. The first five vibers to email me (correct email after jump) get their name on the list, as well as the details […]
I put up a braai article the other day (The New Concise SA Braai Rules) which was very well received. So much so that I was contacted by the guys behind “National Braai Day ” which is a brilliant initiative aimed at establishing an annual day of celebration in South Africa – with South Africans […]
Here’s George Clooney’s girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis, spotted on a boat somewhere awesome. She is what we in the industry refer to as “NPR” – which means No Photoshop Required. Fine.. Nice one, George.. Excellent. I must say, I take my hat off to George Clooney. Thanks for tuning in, gang. [thanks neil]
Independent Newspapers [IOL, Cape Times etc] is known for its occasionally obtuse and ambiguous headlines. For example, when more boring news groups might report “TWO MEN ARRESTED IN DRUG BUST”, Independent would probably phrase it thus: “WITNESS FINGERS DRUG LORDS – TWO ARRESTED” Shockingly enough, what I’m about to show you did NOT, I repeat, […]

By now you should be aware that Oscar-winning actor, Mel Gibson is alleged to have been recorded on the phone talking to his ex-bird and mother of one of his eight children, Oksana Grigorieva. But not just talking, he apparently used all sorts of colourful words and racial slurs. Besides making use of words such […]
So the European Space Agency has had a bit of a revelation, and they’ve struck upon the idea to build a “remote access toolkit to rebuild the human race” on the moon. In other words, said toolkit is what evil geniuses refer to as a “doomsday ark”. Apparently, the ark will contain the essentials of […]
The Muse is threatening a viewing of the new Twilight at some stage this weekend – possibly even as soon as Friday night. With weed levels at an all-time low, I’m not really sure how this is all going to pan out. Let alone whether or not I will make it to the other side. […]
One of the neverending social debates have to do with the word “nigger.” The classic argument (predominantly in the US) has to do with black guys calling each other nigger (eg. in movies they often say “nigger, please!”) – which is apparently fine (personally, I would prefer it not to be used at all, to […]

Unbelievable scenes this morning at vida e on Kloof Street, as this photo of the great man was tweeted by “king_si” and forwarded to the 2oceansvibe Twitter account.

We’ve debated it, we’ve dealt with it, we’ve heard that it’s really bad for your hearing (well, we actually read that, we’re completely void to the world of sound now). Hell, we’ve exported it to the world. There is only one last thing to ask of the vuvuzela.
My dad sent me this article from the Australian online publication, Crikey. Quite an interesting take and a must read for all! Personally I was taken by the quote, “Cape Town Is the Future.” It took me back to a few years ago when I attended the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia. The crowd in […]
If there ever was a brand that has always been around the block, it’s Wimpy. Waves of nostalgia and memories of road-trips to Plett enter my mind, with me servicing my dad a fresh cold beer every couple of hours and a glass (real glass – plastic gives her Ladyship moth ulcers) of wine (with […]
There’s a crisis in the Middle East, ladies and gentlemen. For centuries, the mullet has stood on the threshold of visual offense and radical expression of freedom. And in yet another move to isolate itself from the global Wayne’s World generation, Iran has banned that most majestic and elusive of creatures, the mullet. Imagine a […]

When you think “Irish movie”, what’s the first thing that pops into your head? You think dreary coastlines, people with a strange affinity for potatoes, seaweed and fish (usually together in a pie), the IRA and The Cranberries. At a push, you might be thinking Gerard Butler and posthumous love letters (why, Gerard, why?). But […]
Jim Carrey is gay. Well, at least in his latest outing, I Love You Phillip Morris in which he portrays the real life story of Steven Jay Russell, a cop, a conman, an inmate and a big fan of musicals. If you desperately want one of those golden statuettes, play someone famous, someone that’s mentally-challenged […]

Cycling fans out there must be rock-hard when looking at this pic of Lance Armstrong’s new helmet. And if not, they will be when I tell them that this new helmet gives Lance 20-30 grams less “drag.” Lance Armstrong’s new helmet – picked up on Gizmodo website Apparently: [A concept] that has a short tail […]
Okay, so some of you may have sniffed out the Bulwer-Lytton Award in the press recently. In a nutshell, it’s an annual prize for the most heinously horrible complete sentence known to the English language, penned in the year of the award. No, the IOL sub-editors did not clinch the prize this year. Without further […]
Hello beautiful babies! Daddy was just browsing through the Vanity Fair magazine on his iPad, and he came across this picture of Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, taken at Heathrow airport in 1970.

Remember that band that made that sick “My Cape Town” song? The one that went viral and brought down the Seacom cable? Ja, that one. Ok, it didn’t really bring down Seacom, but it did manage to get Helen Zille to comment on their Facebook page. We’ve also featured it a couple of times on […]
No spice, the Dutch soccer team needs a place to stay. While the Uruguayans were getting an undeserved peaceful night’s sleep in Newlands (despite a small Twitter campaign calling for Capetonians to please “not” blow vuvuzelas and bang drums outside their rooms), the dutchies were bumming around the Cape of Good Hope looking for a […]
Sydney Restaurant, Mundo Global Tapas, may have a silly sounding name, but they are rocking the their technological potential as an eatery. Picture this: You walk into a restaurant, and instead of being handed the usual crusty leather-bound tome of a menu fitted with pseudo-brass corners, you’re handed an iPad. You think, “Cool! A pre-drinks […]
