So I was leaving Cavendish Square on Friday after a thoroughly enjoyable Chunky Chicken Wrap at Sumo, which was preceeded by an awesome session Guest Speaking to the UCT Business Science Honours students.

So some of you are probably aware of the vibe that Minki van der Westhuizen has been throwing around town – that she wants to be a 2oceansvibe Weather Girl.

It’s interesting to note that my favourite pair of shoes, these Rudolf Dassler boots, also happen to be the least worn out of my considerable shoe collection. How is it possible that you never wear your favourite shoes? I’ve never quite worked out why that is. Why would I hardly ever wear my favourite shoes? […]

You don’t get more single than Snoddie. He is seriously verging on being the generic. One day people will ask if you’re in a relationship or if you’re “Snoddie.” Then he’ll have to tell them that he actually is Snoddie. And they’ll be like, “Oh my God!! You’re the guy!!!” And he’ll be like “Yeah!!!” […]

I found myself at the University of Cape Town on Friday afternoon, assuming the role of guest speaker at some kind of business strategy thing they were doing. They wanted the whole vibe and nothing but the vibe. So that’s what I gave them.. I wore my coolest T-shirt which allowed me to blend in […]
Quite happy to have their two cents featured in the comments section of the “defamatory” articles we wrote, Darnell International have involved their lawyers and are now demanding that the articles (here and here) be taken down. Here is the letter from Darnell’s lawyers: Click image to enlarge letter The fact that it is number […]
It’s a massive week for 2oceansvibe and Butlers this week. Not only has the much anticipated “Rotherham” pizza been launched on the menu, but fellow 2oceansvibe sponsor, NoMU spices, is also featuring on the menu.

“Living the holiday” is more than just chilling out at the beach, it’s about engaging with pre-approved people and companies who don’t add stress to your life. … So back to the story, I was approached by a company called Ammo a few weeks ago with a mobile payment solution they have developed, allowing you to pay for goods and services with your PHONE.
You like that? Me too. That’s why I’ve always had time for Harper’s Bazaar. Not that we should ignore the pics from inside the mag.. Did you give those thumbnails a little click? Nice hey?
I’ve only really been compelled to break out into song in the Sea Point Spar, home to thousands upon thousands of overseas models living in the area. Not to mention Luba Shumeyko‘s twin (damnit!) sister, who often shops in the very same store. They practice their ramp walks down the isles, as we, mere mortals, […]

Awesome! Fruit and Veg City have jumped on the band wagon and realised that ass flavoured goods are selling, quite literally, like hot cakes! Spotted at Fruit & Veg City Mmmm, I can just imagine how good an ass flavoured Sub wrap must taste! I doubt it will be as good as the ass […]
That’s pretty radical! Hey? And I wouldn’t rule it out if I were you. Remember 2006 when outsider Crash surprised the world and beat Brokeback Mountain to win Best Film? Ja, exactly! I must say, I had no idea that Great Odds also covered thing like The Oscars. Did you know that? Seriously, I thought […]
The marketers and advertisers out there have tried all sorts of methods to get horny youngsters to wear a condom. This is the first time I’ve seen them using graffiti to get the message across. And I think they did a bloody good job. This ad was shown on French TV channels. Reminds me of […]
Last night’s sunset from The Safe House March Heatwave Is Upon Us – If you thought yesterday and the day before were too hot, best you get used to it! You’re looking at 30 degree weather and very low wind all the way through to next week, my love. And if you work in town […]
It’s not often that I give away trade secrets on how to be an awesome individual. But when I see the lack of knowledge resulting in pain for you, my treasured 2oceansvibers, then I realise that I have an obligation to tell you. Take for instance my special tuna mayonnaise that I make The Dude […]

Lewis Carroll wrote what some conspiracy theorists believe was a tale about the effects of hallucinogenic drugs. Perhaps the whole who ha started with Go Ask Alice about a teenage girl’s spiral into drugs in the ’60s, coupled with a song called White Rabbit and William Shatner.

Iron Mike sends me stuff from time to time. He’s improved a lot, although he has, on more than one occasion, been guilty of the cardinal sin of sending me content that has already featured on 2oceansvibe. Punishable by death, if I so wished. But it’s hard to put out a hit on Iron Mike, […]
