I popped into Societi Restaurant on Orange Street in Gardens this morning for some creative writing with Iron Mike, and spotted this sign.   “It’s a life’s tile“   See what they did there? They took the word “lifestyle” and changed it, to incorporate their product. ‘Cos they sell tiles, you see. So it becomes […]

So we’re about two weeks away from the final day of Mo-vember. For those of you who have JUST this minute come out of a coma, we (and thousands of SA males) are growing our moustaches for the month of November (Mo-vember) and will compete in a day of bowls at The Fresnaye bowling club […]

I think the best way to put it into perspective would be to think back to school days when the bullies used to put “KICK ME” stickers on the back of the geeks’ blazers, and they would get “gat-skops” all day without realising why. Only this time the geeks have put the stickers on themselves […]

As the folks pack up in Oz and head off to Provence to add the final touches to the bastide, a moment was spared to scan a page from an Australian magazine and email it to me. This time, it was an ad for Christmas “gifts for him.” which included the BBQ Brand and the […]

After a stunning meal at The Grand in Camps Bay on Friday night (with emphasis on the food, rather than the service) and a solid toot at Caprice, Saturday’s weather followed through without effort. A stunning day was had at The Entrepreneur’s pile, as we indulged in some surf and turf spectator action; with the […]

Some of you will have been fortunate enough to have read and followed through with last week’s article about Upside Down Dogs – www.upsidedowndogs.com – a website showcasing photos of upside down dogs from around the world. As anticipated, and as with most things on 2oceansvibe, the response was electric; soliciting fan email including a […]

A neurosurgeon friend of mine, Simon S, has come up with a very thoughtful and clever idea. It will also help YOU to sort out your disastrous karma levels.

After the hurricanes that hit Cape Town this week (see earlier posts including trucks getting blown over outside Caprice), I am pleased to announce that everything is back to normal. This, taken today at 15h00.   Utter splendour   And where exactly was that taken, I hear you ask? Watch this space..

She’s got a good hold of that pump.   She’s a pro   And how do we know it’s her?   Her foot has never been the same since the accident   Because it SAYS SO on her shirt! Duh!

During Mo-vember (the month formerly known as November) I’m growing a Mo. That’s right I’m bringing the Mo back because I’m passionate about tackling men’s health issues and being proactive in the fight against prostate and testicular cancer. So not only do you get to support a worthy cause, but you get to humiliate me […]

Given that it is the best chocolate on planet Earth, the scarcity of Daim Chocolate bars in Cape Town is becoming more and more alarming. Every time I can’t find it in its usual haunts (Giovanni’s, Carlucci’s etc.) I pretend that it must just be a one-off. But then, on the fifth time, I get […]

The Barndog sent this in and I remember him telling me about this dog. It’s quite a famous dog, actually, name Spice. Spice chills the fuck out on the sofa in a restaurant in Durbs called, you guessed it, Spice. The photo was taken from his table. I think it’s absolutely fine, as a view, […]

At last, visual evidence of the truck that was blown over outside Caprice yesterday. I can’t believe the photo is right here in front of me. I heard about it and just waited, patiently, for it to land on my lap. It’s so good. The winds are so powerful. They make me so CRAZY!   […]

Finally, our prayers are answered! Someone has realised the humour in publishing upside down photos of dogs. We’ve all had a good chuckle when stumbling upon our canine friends fast asleep, upside down – them, blissfully unaware of how ridiculous they look as the flesh and flaps and eyeballs begin to slide. So someone has […]

Zone took this photo today, sent it to me, and asked the question: “There are pigs in Military Rd opposite Relish, ironically where I am beckoned to drink this evening. What does this mean for us? “   Pigs cruising the pavement in Cape Town City/Stad   That reminds me, did you ever read the […]

I see the topic of Luke Watson’s September 2006 Sports Illustrated quote coming up more and more. You know the one:   “Playing for the Boks would be a great honour. It has the potential and it has the ability to become one of the most powerful emblems this world has seen. It stands for […]

It had to happen. It’s just too much for the freaks’ brains out there. You know, actually auditioning on live TV, and in direct contact with “superstars” like Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell and Randy “Swazi” Jackson. Now look what you’ve done – this, from the New York Post:   An “American Idol” reject who was […]

ALL, If you keen am jumping onto Sian’s (Lloyds birds) birthday drinks – we share the same bday and as a female she always organises hers first, so I have no choice but to latch onto hers, until her and Lloyd break up. Or one of them die. She has arranged Relish (was Wafu but […]

You know that steep road that joins Kloof Road with Kloof Nek Road? Just up from Bacini’s? Ja, that’s the one. Well, anyway, it’s blocked off because a tree committed suicide over the road. I swear.

Best Man speeches can go either way. They can bomb, or they can kill. Some best men miss the mandate and spend their time regaling stories of the various skanks the groom nailed in his singles – Cringe City. Whilst others are just sublime, like when The Rock completely fucking murdered it on The Outside […]

Oh my God, I SINCERELY hope the ex-pats in London have taken the 22 bus DIRECTLY to Harrods to lick the new Veuve Clicquot Champagne bar from floor to ceiling. There is a VERY good chance that heaven looks like this.   The lilies in the corner are exactly how I dreamt it   How […]
