Do you remember those two gorgeous twins from the Sanlam ad? You know, the two little angels running in slow motion? Should I recap? Sure thing – check this out from the 47 second mark: Nothing wrong with that, right? They also happen to be the twins we had hanging out with us during Friday’s […]
Those of you connected to a neat little trick called the internet (I hear it’s getting quite big) may know that the 62nd annual Emmy Awards went off without nary a hitch last night. At least, that would be the opinion of everyone besides the event’s host, Jimmy Falon. Much to Jimmy’s chagrin, Ricky Gervais […]
We’ll be giving you the exclusive music video very soon, but, in the meantime you can get a sneak preview of Goldfish’s AWESOME new track, Get Busy Living! Check it out below! (press play). Get busy living featuring Emily Bruce (Radio edit) webclip by Goldfishlive I like it. I like it a LOT! If you […]
Some of you studied at UCT. Some of you may have even been forced to make forays to UCT’s Hiddingh Campus, AKA Hipster-Central. I remember those brief, but terrifying outings. The Hipsters. They’re so, so much cleverer than us. They talk about Nietzsche and Kant, and judge me when I reply by telling them not […]
It takes a lot to impress the tribal council, here at the 2oceansvibe Lair, and we have to give it to the people who worked on this bit of Mercedes Benz exposure. Check it out – spotted in Cavendish Square: Something wrong with that picture, right? Remove the car, and this is what you get: […]

He spent the weekend in jail after […]
There’s a cess-pit of bad football films out there. Of course, the discerning viewer will recognise that Any Given Sunday rises above the sentiment and excrement that makes up 90% of the movies in this drama. It’s a great film. There’s plenty of old-school Pacino filth and grit in there. And there’s that one, iridescent […]
We chatted the other day about this new concept in the East, which presents uncaptured TV news in animated form. A good example would be the scene where Steve Slater grabbed two beers and jumped out the plane. None of this was caught on camera but apparently in China they got a good idea of […]
It’s often said that moment captured with the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) is harder to come by, than a EuroMillions Lottery Jackpot win. That said, one can only imagine the emotion and tingling felt by one Barry Cocks, as he found himself face to face with one of the world’s greatest mysteries. Let’s see what […]
Similar, much? 2oceansvibe was abuzz in Friday afternoon with news that Russian statesman, Vladimir Putin, had cross-bowed a whale. But we thought it was worth the time to point out, on record, that Putin only spends part of his time shooting sea behemoths from rubber dingies, swimming in frozen Siberian lakes, hunting Brown Bears with […]
Paul Allen’s yacht, “Octopus” Microsoft’s Paul Allen Sues Everybody – Microsoft’s co-founder Paul Allen has filed suit against nine companies over patent violations, including Apple, Google, AOL, Facebook, ebay, Netflix, Yahoo, and YouTube. The claims involve patents which cover integral parts of how those companies do business. Eg. one patent allows site suggestions for consumers […]
Are you underpaid, undervalued, and sidelined at work? Are you feeling brave? Then QUIT! QUIT I TELL YOU! Everyone else is striking, why not one-up those public-sector amateurs? But if you’re going to do it, you absolutely have to do it in style, like (yes, we know it’s fake), or this. But writing, photography, and […]
My children, you know that every now and then I like to treat you with helpful hints and tips that will make your lives easier. We’ve already had that conversation about how we don’t make phone calls unless absolutely necessary, right? We text first. Okay? Okay. But some of you came to me recently, with […]
We were chatting about Heather Graham and her “Roller Girl” character from the movie Boogie Nights (starring Mark Wahlberg) the other day on 2oceansvibe Radio and, more to the point, the fact that her parents no longer speak to her. They’re very religious, you see, and apparently that is somehow linked to their disapproval of […]
Sumos…Big hands = big slaps Anyone who knows a thing or two about the intricacies and nuances of life as a Sumo Wrestler (pfft, who doesn’t?) will understand that the Sumo is a creature bred for power, weight, and a surprising degree of flexibility. But they’re definitely not bred for texting, or email, or any […]
I found myself absolutely killing it outside the vida e in Green Point this weekend, and I realised that I still haven’t told you about my new toy, the Vespa GTS 250 i.e. And that “i.e.” at the end doesn’t mean “id est,” as you often see in english sentences, it refers rather to the […]
Unbelievable scenes this last week as the latest wave of TBG (Tall Blonde Guy)hysteria hits Cape Town. The revelation that The TBG was the inspiration for the recent Roger Federer Gillette commercial, really did own topical conversation this last wee. It was only a matter of time before another TBG sighting was made. This time […]
Word is spreading like wildfire through 2oceansvibe headquarters that a British photographer, by the name of Nick Gleis, managed to sneak onto the private jets of a number of Seth’s closest confidants, who also happen to be the steward’s of many of Africa’s most glorious revolutions. These hallowed men include the likes of Bob Mugabe, […]
Usain Bolt – Biggest Deal EVER! Usain Bolt Signs Biggest Athletics Sponsorship Deal EVER With Puma – Usain Bolt has signed the biggest sponsorship deal in athletics history, extending his contract with Puma to 2013 and catapulting the triple world record holder into the kind of financial terrain usually reserved for star footballers. The exact […]
All I’m saying is 2oceansvibe Radio are broadcasting from the new MWEB store in Canal Walk on Friday! Can you imagine the chaos? And I will add to that by saying there will be a stink-load of celebrities pulling in to keep the momentum going as we keep the vibe pumping and give away prizes […]
Singapore – Doesn’t suck We’re already living in a global village. So the idea of national borders is becoming increasingly strained. Gallup has released data describing where in this big village respondents would re-locate if exorbitant costs (i.e. Visas and travel fees) and international borders weren’t part of the process. “Sulplise!” Most people said they’d […]
You know when you think of something one day, then you suddenly get reminded of it everywhere you go? Like to other day I was in a sports shop looking for toys and very nearly bought badminton racquets and a shuttlecock (try not to laugh). I decided not to, but the next day on iol.co.za […]
Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone ripped off Walt Disney’s Fantasia… well, at least the title of that famous 10-minute symphonic clip of Mickey Mouse and his magic shrooms brooms. Seventy years later we have the live-action The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, which has taken revenge on Harry Potter with a knock-off adventure. It’s a vicious cycle […]
And when I say “SA”, I mean Saudi Arabia. Of course, I couldn’t possibly be talking about the South Africa “SA”. We don’t sever the spinal cords of our criminals. We send them to cooking school. But enough of such tom foolery. Where were we? Ah yes. Corporal punishment. You see, they’re quite keen on […]
My God, when we announced the Boschendal Cooling Towers competition, we didn’t expect anything this world class to appear! We asked you, the 2oceansvibe readers to send your best footage of the Athlone Cooling Towers (or, rather, the “Ladies of Athlone” – a title which I have NEVER heard before) going down last Sunday. Obviously […]
The Church Bans Vuvuzelas Pope Bans The Vuvuzela – The pope has banned faithful followers from bringing vuvuzelas to his public appearances on his UK tour next month. The controversial horns made famous by fans at South Africa’s World Cup in June, were among a number of banned items at Pope Benedict XVI’s events during […]

The “A Team”, as they’re modestly called, are not only incredibly skilled at re-creating the greatest Football World Cup goals in history, but they’re also intelligent, smart, and devilishly good-looking.

It is beyond me that something is not being done about the prawn epidemic on a government level. For something that started in the coffee shops of Cape Town, to have spread across the globe as far as Japan, London, Venezuela and Putney, I think the urgency of the matter could never be greater. Especially […]
James: Doesn’t take hints well Every now and then Bond movies get a little bit carried away with themselves, and throw the baby out with the bath water. The baby would be logic, and the bath water would be narrative. Remember Quantum of Solace? Or the airport scene from Live and Let Die? Remember any […]
