I tell you, it’s been QUITE a weekend in Hermanus. When I stopped to do some writing at the end of it all I didn’t think I had anything to write about. But, if you think about it, two people nearly drowning and being rescued by a Capetonian IS something we need to chat about! […]

You know the SABC? That’s right, The South African Broadcasting Corporation. Ja, so anyway, they’ve gone and ballsed it up again.

Wow! This numberplate fetish seems to have really taken off with you lot! I have never received such a solid stream of emails relating to one topic in my life. Well, this life, that is. I received LOADS in my past life as a 16th century prince, but we didn’t have email then. I received […]

This is the third Jack of all trades article we’ve written, following the incredibly well received original two (here and here). I assure you the following image is genuine.

I was hanging with G-Man at his pad yesterday and we decided that now would be very good time to introduce you to a new way to say hi. We think you’re ready for it. High-fives are out (just ask Ryan Seacrest), and so are fisties. That’s why we’re going for the ” SLAP, SNAP […]

We get all types here in Cape Town. We’ve spent time with the Nic Cages of the world and it’s great to hear Ed Norton and Bette Midler were spotted at the Grand Cafe in Camps Bay. That’s all very well, but Ving Rhames is in town now..   Ving Rhames   Seriously, Emmy and […]

I was watching the Louis Theroux interview series on DVD earlier this week. You remember I mentioned DVD Nouveau the other day, right? Ja, so the Louis Theroux series comes highly recommended. By me.

I thought you’d enjoy this quick focus on Cape Town’s weather in days to come. Tragic, really.   Shame   It’s pretty straightforward, I think you’ll find. All meetings, if any, should be conducted on the Atlantic Seaboard. Basic stuff. Coffee should be drunk at Vida e in Camps Bay. That’s a given. Lunches, dinner […]

It’s not often the energies of the universe pull together to give us things like this. Scott Macintrye is a contestant on the latest American Idol which is on at the moment. Scott Macintrye is blind. Ryan Seacrest is the host of American Idol and is therefore fully aware that Scott is blind. That’s why […]

It would be somewhat out of line not to mention some of the angels on display at last Saturday’s 148th running of the Queen’s Plate. Slightly off the mark in black, rather than blue and white, the ever stylish Gina Athens did particularly well with this short knitted dress. Hat and shades combo also gets […]

I don’t know what is more alarming – the fact that the manufacturer would give their product a name that can be so easily mistaken for a swear word (Fuchsware), or the fact that the person writing the sign didn’t double check the spelling. Nonetheless, the result is quite stunning. This, spotted in a local […]

It’s no coincidence that the owners of The Roundhouse Restaurant in Camps Bay also own the company that trains the staff at the 5-star Cape Grace Hotel . It is to this end that Fasie Malherbe and his team seem to stop at nothing to ensure you experience service never seen before in any Cape […]

As the trend for zero tolerence when it comes to cyclist’s wearing their helmets in public grows, it is interesting to note that some establishments have now made it law. This, found on the menu at Pirates in Hout Bay.   2oceansvibe and Cape Town as a whole, applaud Pirates   I must say, my […]

So we’ve chatted about various car number plates on these pages and, in particular, the pretenders out there, specifically those who include CA at the beginning of their WP plates (here and here).

I like the sound of this. As the “credit crunch” hits and people begin to think out the box, it’s good to see some people are embracing the 2oceansvibe concept of “Work is a sideline, live the holiday.” Some of you might be interested in this little job opportunity:   Island caretaker job offer: get […]

Vladimir would definitely […]

Our little girl… all grown up.   Britney Spears poses with Kevin Federline’s spawn And if you think I’m going to believe that is a real soldier standing behind you, then you’re VERY mistaken.
