Just a general notice, really. I very much doubt it will be funny or anything. It’s just a bit of help. A number of people have been telling me that they’re getting an incredibly big section of empty white space under the first article on this very website, 2oceansvibe. I was aware of it because […]
I read and enjoyed the original Is it Just Me or is Everything Shit, which I was given as a gift, and it remains satisfying reading for guests and the various Heads of State who visit The Safe House. There was also a local one that was published in the last couple of years called […]
I made up a saying a while ago and it goes, “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” Once again, another one of my sayings are proven, as you will see below. Earlier on we brought you breaking news of the bus on fire on Hertzog Blvd. in central Cape Town. Those pics came, as usual, from […]
Oh my good Lord! We have just received these pictures live from one of our many MANY intrepid readers who send in shit that matters. Taken in Cape Town city off Hertzog Boulevard, this, like, JUST happened. Check it out. Feeling hot hot hot.. Spontaneous combustion? There’s not much more that you can […]
Now, I’m sure we’ve chatted before about this. Or maybe we merely touched on it. And this is the subject of numberplates. The CA plates versus the WP plates, to be more specific. There seems to be a bit of confusion amongst foreigners and locals alike, when it comes to the various plates. People refer […]
I received the following email from The Good Doctor, who also happens to be one of the intrepid organisers of South Africa’s Mo-Vember cause: “Men are being called to participate in a playful awareness month to highlight health issues specific to men, and raise money for the CANSA organization, simply by growing their moustaches during […]
I thought it pertinent to mention this story, given that tonight’s MegaMillions lottery is sitting at $111,000,000 (R1.1 Billion jackpot) Check this out: Woman Demands Lotto Winnings From Man She Separated From In 1982 Seems like a cool chick POLK COUNTY, Fla. — A Polk County man won nearly $2 million in […]
As a Nedbank client I must say I am a little perturbed at the state of the main sign of Nedbank’s Waterfront head office. Forming a part of my views from my suite at The Cape Grace Hotel, it’s beginning to annoy. Poofey Is that what happens when too many cheques bounce?
I wake up, thinking of cool, knowing that you want me to remain cool. It concerns be, maintaining coolness – for you, for your image of me. That is why I go to the cupboard and I load my gun. I load my goddamned rifle and I head out the door. I then spend up […]
I am “between” laptops at the moment and am using an old beast (not too old – running XP) I had locked in a cupboard far far away. Apart from the trip down memory lane, courtesy of the old pictures and videos I found on the hard drive (not very good quality – the size […]
Whilst Matthew Pearce and Kobus Wiese (with his incredibly strained voice and abysmal English) have succeeded in sidelining Hugh Bladen and have taken South African commentating to another level altogether. Exactly what level that is, is a discussion for another day. But, nonetheless, the subject of sports commentary is fresh in the air. There is […]
With a fridge filled with Jack Black upon arrival, I realised The Cape Grace were on the right track and should therefore experience even more of the 2oceansvibe. That is why I ordered Butlers Pizza on Friday night for myself – and threw in another human-height pile of pizzas for the Cape Grace staff. […]
Pavlov’s dogs learnt faster than this. Nice helmet Your friend’s balls are also very impressive Our social etiquette teachings are clearly far from over, as the exact same two cyclists from the last improper cyclist behaviour article are spotted again at Giovanni’s – and again the one fellow doesn’t understand the no-helmet rule. […]
The other morning’s festivities, which included The Muse getting her car clamped at my current residence, The Cape Grace Hotel in Cape Town; resulted in a great response from the 2oceansvibe community. Including this BEAUTIFUL photograph, taken by the equally beautiful Nicole B. Absolutely fine Now that’s the kind of sign The Muse […]
Yes, interestingly enough, I managed to get my hands on the Country Road 2008 Summer Catalogue . And, I tell you what, I was glad that I did. Please enjoy the absolutely ANGEL they are using for the entire ladies section! Helloooo, my laydeh! Hey!? Are you ok with that? And please, there […]
The guys that designed 2oceansvibe, HelloComputer, have just finished a new project for MTN, called the MTN Backyard Series. They’ve made an online game which is, honestly, as close as you can get to a proper game of garden cricket (or “stump” as it’s called in the Southern Suburbs) within the confines of your office. […]
Whilst Martin Johnson is probably still reeling from the pounding he got on Saturday, it seems rugby in England has managed to excel in other forms. Remember in August when I told you about the inaugural Rugby Expo? Ja, well it happened – and it was a RAGING success by all accounts. With […]
2oceansvibe Character and ex-KFM morning-show disc jockey (try saying that with a straight face), Nic Marais (AKA The DJ), has gone off to study law at Yale. People are usually pretty impressed when I tell them that, after they ask me why he is no longer hosting Cape Town’s biggest breakfast show. That’s when I […]
I received a call from Dave after the Springboks drilled England 6-42 on Saturday (congas to Barndog and the boys). He mentioned something about the post match interview with and something about a vindictive little journalist. I searched for it on the “internet” but it was too soon after the event to find anything. Naturally […]
I had so much to tell you, which I will be focusing on later. As you know, I moved into my suite at the Cape Grace hotel on Saturday. “Our 2 Bedroom Suites epitomise luxurious home-from-home comforts and are ideal for families or friends travelling together. These spacious suites feature two private en-suite bedrooms and […]
It’s very important that you know that the 2009 Pirelli Calendar was introduced to the public in Berlin, just this week! Models – hanging outElephants – enjoying it Now for those of you who need to polish up your GK, this is exactly what the Pirelli calendar is all about (Wikipedia): The calendar […]
Whilst one may deem it a tad rude, one should also remember that it does still fall into a category which we call, “quality humour.” Clever [thanks charl]
November 20 (Gloomberg) — The Somali pirates, renegade Somalis known for hijacking ships for ransom in the Gulf of Aden, are negotiating a purchase of Citigroup. The pirates would buy Citigroup with new debt and their existing cash stockpiles, earned most recently from hijacking numerous ships, including most recently a $200 million Saudi […]
Pray First. Ok, and then what? [thanks lotte]
It’s been two weeks in a row now that the Luv Sport Spicy Dancing Guy has appeared at the end of the show. He comes out of the studio audience, as if by magic, and proceeds to gyrate in front of the live band, whilst the rest of the studio audience get autographs from the […]
Oh my goodness, we have gone FULL CIRCLE! We learnt about the website which displays photos of upside down dogs, which was followed up quite neatly with the photo of Spice, the exhibitionist hound; as well as the untimely death of a reader’s upside down dog. I even received an email from a local guy […]
I really wish we had these things in my day in London. My God, we hoarded a lot of crap. I remember carting a life-size Scooby Doo cardboard cut-out from digs to digs, all over London – along with the other crap (larva lamp included). I never did see the irony in boasting that the […]
The old debate of whether life imitates art, or vice versa, has been thrown into another dimension this week. I mean, it was one thing for Arnold Schwarzenegger to become the Governor of California; but for him to deliver quotes like he did this week, well…. it’s just taking the piss really. This, From SKY […]
I hope you didn’t think about that headline in a naughty way. That would be very naughty indeed. And childish. G-Man and The Dude told me about this stand up bit of Eddie Izzard doing a Christopher Walken impression. I like this guy. He makes me laugh. I haven’t laughed in years. Great to be […]
We mentioned on Wednesday that it would be 35 degrees on Thursday (yesterday). It was. It started with lunch at Caprice, and then it moved onto the beach. And then it came back again. It was a whirlwind. Like a whirlwind romance, but with no romance – just booze and bodies and extravagance and extreme […]
