This, my friends, is awesome. What in the world is that? At first glance, this looks like the fruits of a game of “pin the tail on the donkey” at an acid party in Amsterdam. Right? But the more perceptive of you might recognise the faintest silhouette of a world map. That’s because each of […]
No, I am not spicing you. Not that I will be getting involved – as I don’t know the first thing about football. But maybe you do and maybe your knowledge will earn you R10 million! Check it out: Click here to try and win R10 million! Predict the outcome of 45 of the 48 […]
We urge you not to send a barrage of Blue Bulls supporter images, as we are now fully aware that anything we can imagine, is possible, and has happened. Last week’s footage of a Blue Bulls supporter’s home was pretty mind-blowing and yes, we have received the images of the Blue Bulls wedding. But now […]
Spotted on PopYaCollar Food Meets Fashion In Provence – Everybody’s favourite street fashion crit, La Muse, merges fashion and food, as we are taken on a journey through the markets of Provence. These recent posts are prescribed reading for all food and fashion junkies. Urrr, deux baguettes s’il vous plaît! [popyacollar] Brittany Murphy’s Husband Found […]
Ok gang, seriously – we need your help! As you know, the Cape Royale hotel has been my primary residence for over a year now. It is part and parcel of the vibe and, as with all things part and parcel of the vibe, they get our full support at all times. Because if it […]
Pure genius comes in many shapes and sizes – a lot of which we publish on these pages. Take this, for example: A FORMER Tasmanian comedian is doing for the island state what rapper Jay-Z did for New York. His tongue-in-cheek “tribute song” has become an internet hit. Dan Taylor, originally from Burnie, released Island […]
Miss K fans will be over-the-moon about their new menu! The girls sent it through to me and I can confirm that all the favourites are still there, with some awesome new additions! Here is the breakfast section alone! Oh yes! I know – how radical is that? But you must check out the rest […]
Lindsay Lohan In Cannes Lindsay Lohan Snapped With Coke In Cannes – She’s doing very well, old Lindsay. She was in Cannes this last week, partying up a storm, as a warrant for her arrest was issued back in LA – for not appearing in court for something completely different. Probably DUI. What does it […]
Ever since we secured Goldfish the soundtrack for KIA cars in the US, we’ve had a soft spot for the Koren car manufacturer. And *ahem* hamsters. Our attention was therefore drawn to an email that cropped up in the inbox, about KIA cars, the FIFA World Cup and some kind of competition! And you have […]
Nigerian politicians are pretty colourful characters, if news reports are anything to go by. If they haven’t got two kilograms of coke (NOT the kind that fizzes with Mentos) in their political tummies, then they’re off marrying Egyptian 13 year-olds.
Now that was a fun show! We played some top tunes, got a surprise call from Cokey Falkow, who had just auditioned for a part in Californication today in Los Angeles, and then, just for kicks, we gave away a whole stack of Sunglass Hut vouchers to some lucky callers from around South Africa! Oh, […]
These little Jobs/Gates filmstrips are doing the rounds. They’re good. I like that. I like it a lot. You know when I refer to “quality humour.” Ja, well, that is quality humour. There are TONS more. Follow the jump to check ’em out.
Sorry about that, it’s kind of bright, I know. As you can see, London have gone for a bit of an intriguing vibe for their 2012 Olympic logo. And by intriguing, I might actually mean, “epilepsy-inducing”. So, in a intriguing strange kind of way, it’s kudos to London’s Olympic organising committee (queerly named Locog) for […]
Kevin Costner Will Save BP BP Turns To Kevin Costner For Help – Now there’s a headline I bet you thought you would never see. Enjoy this, Kev has spent years and millions of dollars perfecting a device that cleans oil from seawater. Costner’s high-speed centrifuge (good word) machine is called “Ocean Therapy.” And now, […]
ESPN is a great repository for sporting news. Especially news from the Baltic states. Take Finland, for example. Finland is the home of Sauna (that’s right, with a capital “S”). This relaxing past tie has been exported in various forms and varieties the world over, such is humankind’s love for a good, cleansing sweat. But […]
Ok, look, I’ll be honest – we don’t have a guest for this week. I’ve actually been knee deep in rose wine for the last two days in Provence and have forgotten most of everything. Rob Fleck was meant to organise me Schalk Burger’s number but getting Fleck to do something like that, is like […]
Everyone knows how cut-throat childhood can be, right? The playground politics, the snide remarks, the vengeful love triangles, the grief-induced crayon-eating binges. Right? Well, maybe not me. Know why? Because when I was a kid, my parents made damn sure that their offspring would never, ever, have the label “loser” pasted on them. How did […]
Marriott Machinery has it core business in buying, restoring and reselling used machines. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be sexy! Derek Marriott and a few of his *cough* staff took us on a guided tour of their plant. Oh, it’s in Epping, Cape Town (no spice). I tell you what, if I was ever […]
World Cup Stars for Vanity Fair The World Cup’s Stars Wear Their Flags—And Little Else—For Annie Leibovitz – For the June issue of Vanity Fair, Annie Leibovitz set out to capture some of the sport’s biggest stars, including Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo, Ivory Coast’s Didier Drogba, Cameroon’s Samuel Eto’o, Ghana’s Sulley Muntari, the U.S.A.’s Landon Donovan, […]
Looks like a regular sci-fi action/adventure with tough guys, hot chicks, glocks and carnivorous and impossibly clever dinosaurs, right? WRONG!
Ahhh… 1986, Reagan was still President, Maradona scored the “Goal of the Century” in the FIFA World Cup in Mexico, Chernobyl was still doing plant tours, Mike Tyson won his first world boxing title, Lady Gaga said “ga-ga” for the first time, Voyager 2 had its first encounter with Uranus and Michael J. Fox manned […]
While some people seem to be able to convince themselves otherwise, I’ve found yet another reason to play the Billion Rand international lotteries. It’s been a while since we perused the private islands available to buy with our winnings, so you can only imagine my excitement when I noticed that Cave Cay is on the […]
I just thought we should have a quick recap as to how the weather is looking in Menerbes – our current location in the heart of the Luberon Valley, Provence . That’s all for now, thanks. Carry on..
OK, so I don’t claim to know a heck of a lot about macro economic policy, national Anglo trans-administration fiscal health, or even the projected recovery gradient of the British economy over the next five years. But two things, I know for sure. 1) The English ruling classes are humour gods, and…
The poms seem to be acquiring a taste for SA’s favourite coffee, vida e. Either that, or the ex-pats are drowning themselves in the stuff! Both seem pretty plausible, mind you. That’s why I’ve arranged for vida e to give YOU a free coffee. That’s right, if you e-mail your UK physical / postal address […]
Miranda Kerr for US GQ Miranda Kerr Goes Topless For GQ Again – United States GQ must *heart* Miranda Kerr something serious, or maybe she just moves magazines, but whatever the reason, the Victoria’s Secret Angel is featured in the men’s magazine for the second time this year. She delivers a smoldering look for the […]
PRESS RELEASE Pyongyang (and maybe Cape Town, too), KCNA.
A few weeks ago I mentioned my excitement at the way macarons had become not only Cape Town’s favourite treat, but also our favourite gift! In an article entitled, The Cookie Connoisseur Cookie, I was admittedly ignorant as to the name of the little bundles of magic. Needless to say the 2oceansvibe community rallied round […]
With the Soccer World Cup just 24 days, four hours and 20 minutes away, it’s so comforting to know that our beloved RSA is getting the accurate international press coverage that we deserve. I mean, take this, for example, courtesy of Chicago’s WGN news.
Cougars… going for it. [source]
