A 2oceansviber stopped at the BP garage in Sea Point the other night and looked up to see this sign looming over the forecourt. It seems that part of the sign was out, making the vibe even more questionable than before!   Not sure this is the type of thing we want to encourage on […]

Mother dearest is in Cape Town at the mo and, as you can imagine, required high levels of attention at all times prior to my Los Angeles departure – including daily shopping expeditions, lunches and dinners.

We pause for a second to peruse Avril Lavigne, spotted on a yacht in the last week or so – somewhere in St. Tropez.   I must be honest, I’ve always had a soft spot for Avril. And that was before she started doing things like that. Although I am concerned at how her body […]

Friday the 13th is a staple in horror movie history. The slasher film franchise has come a long way and has struggled to break the vicious (yet popular) cycle of blood, boobs and boozing. Jason Voorhees, the masked psychopath is to slasher films what James Bond is to espionage and they both share one irritating […]

Wow. It’s a “classic” Afrikaans song by a guy called Nic Stevens called “Toeter Skoeter” and is basically about a guy with a hooter on his water scooter (ie jetski).

To actually believe in the concept of someone tapping diesel fuel from a rock is one thing, but to actually be conned into funding the person…. well, that’s just another story altogether.
