This post is really a big thank you to the regulars for keeping 2oceansvibe at the top – the first in South Africa, ahead of both The Times Multimedia and Mail & Guardian‘s online conglomerate. Here is a screenshot taken this week showing the “Most Visited” rankings on Afrigator, South Africa and Africa’s leading social […]
Interesting headline, no? It was sort of a “mish/mash” of what I was thinking when I first saw this. No don’t fret – there is nothing wrong with this fellow. He is wearing a wetsuit which has a shark attack design on it. Quite a vibe, don’t you think? There are a few […]
Before hitting Ghana, and not 24 hours after Barack Obama was scoping tail with Sarkozy in Italy, he’s maxin’ and relaxin’ with Da Pope! The Pope takes a break from emulating The TBG to meet Barack and Mish-kebab Barack changed his mind about going to confession after Pope Benedict XVI agreed that, even as […]
Cycling helmet attacks in the Southern Suburbs and beyond are a rarity – a rarity that surely adds to the draw of that particular semi-rural lifestyle. Well that’s all changing now, as the helmet attacks in public spaces are becoming more and more common that side of the mountain. This revolting display was taken at […]
So here’s Emma Watson, the actress from Harry Potter. Have you watched Harry Potter? I haven’t really. I pretty much know the story, given that Harry Potter, the character, is loosely based on me. Have you watched it a lot? Because if you do think you have, then I can tell you right now for […]
Barack Obama has just made his his first trip to sub-Saharan Africa as president. This weekend brought a 21-hour visit to Ghana, direct from the G8 Summit and chilling with The Pope in Italy. Because that’s how he rolls. He has also just met Jacob Zuma face-to-face as presidents for the first time at the […]
Those of you who watch the Rock Paper Scissors championships on ESPN (footage here) will know that these tournaments are no joke. Some people think that anyone can be good at RPS. No, no, my friend – this is not the case. Neighbourhood & Olmeca Edición Black Tequila are proud to present Cape […]
This story is getting more and more true every day. I hadn’t mentioned it to you before now because it was a bit too sensational. That, and the fact that Morgan Freeman is playing Nelson Mandela (see in-character pics here) in the upcoming movie Invictus (*ahem* alongside 2oceansvibe character The Adventurer who is playing Brendan […]
Some of you may remember the pics (taken by Max) we posted last month of Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman in character as Francois Pienaar and Nelson Mandela respectively (here). Did you enjoy the use of the word “respectively” back there? Ja, that’s how I roll. Well anyway, given Damon’s New England heritage, Meredith at […]
I enjoyed this recent pic of Prince William, taking his Ducati out for a spin. The Cross of St GeorgeSubtle. Nice. Very nice. I like that. This, from The Daily Mail: Easy (Royal) Rider: Prince William puts on his leathers and heads for the highway There was plenty of horsepower involved, just […]
The Chief tells me that there is a cool new ‘slick’ bar/club in Claremont called Club 91. He is trying to lure me to the ‘burbs for a visit and said we would enjoy it. Interesting. I’m told it is “sophisticated.” Have any of you been? What’s it like?
One of the 2oceansvibe readers were cruising around Gumtree, trying to find a place to rent. As one might expect from a 2oceansviber, she wasn’t shy to peruse some places in Clifton. That’s when she stumbled upon this little BEAUT! 3 bed, Fully Itatlian Furnished Clifton beach house Ad ID: 139760893 Hi All you […]
They do these clips very well – whoever the people are that do these clips.. It’s a good concept. They take that scene from that movie about Hitler and they change the sub-titles. They always use the same scene. The last one I gave you on a plate was Hitlers eaction to the Bulls winning […]
There was no escaping talk of Michael Jackson in Russia yesterday, as Obama answered some questions about the late pop star, whilst dealing with the likes of Putin and nuclear war. Check it out: For those of you with broken video players [pffft!], this is what we got from politico.com: ABC’s Jake […]
I don’t know. This guy seems to be everywhere. I don’t know what this whole “High School Musical” vibe is, but it’s doing my head in. I went into the Disney store on the Champs-Élysées, hoping to find some sexy figurine to go with my Betty Boop doll (here). To no avail – the store […]
Brüno is Sacha Baron Cohen’s third incarnation after the much-quoted Ali G and the controversial culture shock that is Borat Sagdiyev. From his days on The 11 O’Clock Show to hosting his own show… the man has sent shock waves of comedy: ranging from downright witty to upright horrific. Some have called him “a comic […]
Just when you think you’ve seen and heard it all, 2oceansvibe goes and brings you a WORLD EXCLUSIVE – David Hasselhoff speaking Afrikaans ! David Hasselhof “Baie Dankie” These RARE original recordings were made by London Capital FM’s Johnny Vaughan (2oceansvibe’s “The UK Showbiz Guy“) and David Hasselhof during a secret recording session […]
I’ve got a pantload of unrelated images all over my desktop that were meant for their own individual articles. Images that have made the grade and progressed from the pile of rubbish I receive, onto my desktop.They’ve been their too long and the moment is gone. So I’m putting them all into one article. Right […]
Day 4 on my return home to Cape Town and I’m more than pleased with the vibe being tossed around by my ex, Mother Nature. Let me take you through some pics taken at The Safe House as I found my way through the day. That is the moon going down at around 06h30 […]
I was unaware that Jackie Kennedy (Onassis) and her brother-in-law, Robert Kennedy , had an affair following the death of JFK. Were you aware? According to a New York Post article about the new book, Jackie Kennedy had a four-year love affair with Bobby Kennedy that began not long after JFK’s assassination and grew so […]
I am often asked how my friend Billy Zane and I became acquainted – a meeting which resulted in an interview with the Titanic star on one of the 2oceansvibe shows. “Quite simple,” I usually tell them, “Marina took care of the Harley Davidson launch (here ) a few months back and Billy was there.” […]
Nice to see Woolworths aren’t scared to sex it up a little bit when the moment takes it. This video must have given the Woolworth’s ultra-conservatives a heart attack! Two things to be aware of – the track in the background is Fort Knox by Goldfish (my personal fave tune of theirs) and the main […]
Well if the cute little fat kid was teased before he headed-off to meet Megan Fox in a Kodak organised meeting (here), he may well commit suicide after she snubbed him AGAIN. Oh my God it’s so bad.. Here he was the day before the meeting that never happened: “Rose-boy” sets off to get […]
It was too easy yesterday. I popped into Vida e on Kloof Road and then waltzed over to Mabu Vinyl, just opposite (in the road leading into the Vida entrance – Rheede Street) to pick up some records. I called the owner, Sugar, from the South of France on the day that Michael Jackson died. […]
Some folk seem a bit unhappy with Springbok coach, Peter de Villiers. So much so that moments like this are being highlighted.. Peter de Villers – ASOL I see what you did there. Good. [thanks ilan]
Wow, this is something to add to the voices in your head asking why exactly you live in London. A recent study has found that violent crime is higher in the UK per capita, than it is in South Africa. This, from the Daily Mail : The most violent country in Europe: Britain […]
Those of you who watched Sunday’s Wimbledon men’s final would have enjoyed the crowd viewing pleasure. Notables including Woody Allen, Russell Crowe, Sir Alex Ferguson, Pistol Pete Sampras and many others. Lest we forget runner-up Andy Roddick’s wife, Brooklyn Decker Roddick . Just a reminder of what he’s dealing with: Whatya thinkin’? That’s […]
Did you get a fright there? Oh my God, how can Seth say the word “Nigaz?” I know, but don’t worry, it was not a racial slur. I was, in fact, referring to NiGaz Energy Company Limited – the result of a joint venture between the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and the Russian oil […]
I cruised into Woolies on Saturday with The Photographer (who just won a bronze lion at Cannes for this, I might add) and spotted something I had never seen before. “Suck me sideways!!” I yelled, “look at THIS!!” Woolworths have now erected a “complementary sanitising wipes” station next to the trolleys. It dispenses wet-wipes for […]
Please enjoy the first result in Google when I searched for “Roger Federer” DURING the Wimbledon Final. Quite mean! That was the first result – The LIVE SCORE of the game. That’s pretty damn impressive! There are loads of other tricks that you can pull with Google’s search box. You can use it […]
