This photo was taken by a friend of a friend in Durban. It seems the driver of the vehicle fancies himself as a gangster rapper, as you will notice he has superimposed his own picture in and amongst those of famous hard-core gangster rappers. On his car’s back windshield, no less. Click image to enlarge. […]

From Margate to Canal Walk, fans are arriving in their droves, just to get a glimpse of the global superhero and, God willing, an autograph. Not that one should expect complete support at these events, as we witness this adorable […]
Brittany Murphy is Dead Brittany Murphy Dies – One of the boys’ favourites, Brittany Murphy, who starred in movies including Clueless and 8 Mile, has died. That’s a pity. She was a little cutie. Do you remember the hiding Eminem gave her in 8 Mile. Yu! [tmz] Most Capped Rugby Player in Wales Comes Out of […]
I am writing this post from my iPhone. Currently at the SA Golf Open and received this in my email on my iPhone from Lauren M. Naughty..
Have you ever typed your name into Google, followed by “is” and then a space? You really should, it’s fairly hilarious. Google uses historical searches for similar phrases and gives quickview suggestions are what you more than likely want to search for – thus saving you nano seconds of your time. It’s those little things […]
I finally grew tired of pimple-faced teenagers pestering me about why I hadn’t joined Twitface yet. So yesterday I sat down and opened my MyTube web browser and decided it was time to hunker down for a month to learn how to work this seemingly silly but – according to my Google machine – financially […]
Personally, I’ve never liked those Santa Claus photo ops. Whether I’m in them or not, I just don’t dig it. They’re dodgy and the guy in the suit is almost always a pedophile – it’s practically a pre-requisite. The ones that aren’t pedophiles are working for the Feds anyway; and the replacement sucks, so fuck […]
Tiger Woods’s yacht – “Privacy” (no spice) That’s where he is staying now, as divorce looms.. The Tiger Binge – The dinner-party gossip should have run its course, yet we keep coming back to Woods and his women. Why is there no end in sight for the Tiger sex scandal? Simple, it’s full of reassuring […]
They seriously should have called it OnlineBrowniePoints.co.za instead of WooliesHampers.co.za, because that is essentially what it is. It’s an online machine that produces brownie points in exchange for a few mouse clicks and a credit card number. Seriously. It’s quite silly. Remember that hamper I bought last week for Marina, to celebrate the birth of […]
It just occurred to us, here at 2oceansvibe Headquarters, that we haven’t given you pictures of Candice Swanepoel for at LEAST a week. Our very own South African Victoria’s Secret angel also happens to be their hottest. She basically picked up where Adriana Lima left off. Together we can take it to the end of […]
Is it just sitting there on the table? Annoying you? It’s such a small amount of money, but we all know that the cost is not what we are fearing – it’s the queues at the Traffic Department – oh, the pain! When is the best time to get there? And, when I get there, […]
Tiger van der Westhuizen Spotted in Mabu Vinyl s shop window – Cape Town (a follow up to their hilarious Kevin Pietersen window display) Tiger Woods Named Top Athlete of the Decade – That’s what you get for playing good golf and bonking anything with a heartbeat and a pair of Ray Ban aviators. Who […]
Avatar is the space between dreams and reality, fantasy and science fiction, “Cowboys and Indians”… I think you get the picture. Simply put… James Cameron’s latest film since Titanic is a dazzling spectacle of computer-generated photographic imagery and vivid contrasting themes. It’s basically like G.I. Joe vs. Thundercats (with a touch of Smurfs)… I mean […]
Overseas readers and locals wondering why the roads are so quiet today, will be interested to learn that today is a public holiday. “Reconciliation Day” is what they’re calling it. I went to dinner at Mano’s restaurant in Green Point last night (schnitzel is killer) and our table wasn’t altogether sure of what exactly this […]
What do The Parlotones, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Johnny Clegg, FreshlyGround, an 18-piece Big Band Jazz Group, Swan Lake Ballet and ABBA have in common? I’ll tell you what they have in common – they’re all a part of the latest, most unique, globally recognised festival Cape Town has ever seen. I give you, AQUA FESTIVAL! […]
Twas a mere month ago that we brought you stunning images of that gentleman who risked his life hanging onto the back of a truck. Sigh.. such is the public transport situation these days. Not to be outdone, this chap took things to the next level and rode on TOP of a vehicle. “Just stay […]
Boom! Just like that, your day has changed for the better. But not just this day, I’m talking about the days 28-31 January, 2010, which sees God’s favourite TV show coming to Cape Town. That’s right, my sweet smelling friends, Jeremy Clarkson and the crew are stopping by as part of their Top Gear Live […]
Miranda Kerr – gone.. Miranda Kerr is Crouch, Hold, Engaged – One wonders why these are called “good” morning headlines, when we are dealing with such atrocities. Victoria’s Secret model, Miranda Kerr, has made a grave grave error and has accepted Orlando Bloom’s hand in marriage. “Bloody Awful” Morning Headlines is what we’re dealing with […]
I received the following invite from Puma, essentially giving me carte blanche to do whatever I want in their V&A Waterfront store from 19h00 to 21h00 tomorrow (Tuesday) night. They’re giving me a 45% discount, which I am able to extend to you. And that’s not for sale items – that’s includes NEW STOCK! Not […]
Jeepers creepers this ad put a whole new spin on my day! Michael Bay , for those of you that don’t know, is the guy who gave you Armageddon, The Rock, Pearl Harbor, Bad Boys, Bad Boys II, Transformers, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and producing remakes of horror movies such as Friday the 13th […]
And by a “joke” I mean it’s “off the charts.” So much so that it’s silly. I tell you what, between Apple products and these guys, life couldn’t be easier. David, the owner of Caprice gave me no option but to attend a party at Caprice on Saturday night last week. And off I went. […]
Suffice to say, if you did NOT receive an email confirming you have won tickets to the 2010 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate horse race, then you did not win.. Well done to Michael, Raoul, Alex, Dan and Ryan! To the rest of you… better luck next time! Not that it’s all over for you! Heavens, […]

Most Capetonians will know all about the radically powerful wind that was blowing on Sunday. Whilst the Safe House stood strong and came out the other side unscathed, the same can not be said for Wembley Square – the Faircape development in Gardens. Roof sheeting on the road from Wembley Square’s roof (left) The roof […]
