It is quite a treat for me to be in L.A., surrounded by movie stars, only to receive a brand new sighting from Cape Town of someone who’s fame dwarfs these pretenders around me – The TBG (Tall Blonde Guy). As his mystery and seemingly nuclear aura continue to grow every day, another duo manage […]

I think this little mention comes at a good time – shortly after my review on John Shannan’s book, “Modern Man is a Wimp” where Shannan makes an alarmed reference to “metrosexuals” and the fact that men find it necessary these days to use moisturisers and other products to beautify themselves. Personally I don’t have […]

Pretty moving stuff here. In the latest TBG sighting it seems the great man was present at the last Dirty Skirts gig at Bang Bang. Ever-alert Carl D maximised the moment that was presented before him. The TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) looks PARTICULARLY relaxed in this pic. God! Just LOOK at him! Amazing! And to […]

As TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) fever grows exponentially, we see how big the Cape Town icon has become in Jo’burg. Here we see one lucky Audi driver who has managed to secure himself the 918th TBG plate. Enjoy it, my boet. You deserve it. TBG 918 GP

It is not common for the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) to bless a group of people at one time, but it certainly has happened at least once! In these remarkable photographs we see the TBG very calmly dealing with the mass hysteria and weeping that one would expect from a book club sharing such an […]

It is with some amusement that I read the words “Private Number” or “Unknown” on my cellphone’s display. The phone is set to ‘silent’, returned to it’s previous position and ignored. Unknown numbers will, quite simply, not be answered. Ever. The non-answering of these calls has become something of second nature to me. It’s honestly […]

One of SA’s top recording artists and 2oceansvibe friend, James Stewart, has finally had his moment in the sun with the great man. Increasingly elusive, it seems that stolen moments with the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) are nothing short of sacred. Some call it the second coming. Some say he is an illusion, a myth. […]

Thanks be to the TBG For the first time this month, we are thankfully graced with a new TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) sighting. This, just sent in by Tracy Mc. Look at the pure joy on her face! The TBG grants a wish and heals a sick child across the room with his eyes Hi […]

This is an interesting one. I must say it does bring a smile to my face when I receive not only a TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) sighting, but a sighting from someone who had not previously heard of the TBG. I mean IMAGINE trying to deal with his intense presence and aura – whilst not […]

I must just warn you that I am writing this after annihilating two joints and half a bottle of Whiskey. (For those who wish to increase their knowledge : whisky from Scotland has no ‘e’, but whiskey from Ireland has an ‘e’. Jamesons, therefore, is spelt WHISKEY). Ja, you know – you learn something new […]

As much as our every breath depends on the next TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) sighting, it is only now and then that we receive reports which enable us to get a deeper understanding of the myth. A man so deep, so treasured, can never truly be understood. All we get are glimpses….tiny morsels of information […]

15 February, 2007 THE TBG CONTINUES HIS WORK ON EARTH Yet another finds herself encapsulated The might and reach of this Cape Town phenomenon seems to have no bounds. The TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) has, once again, delivered a moment of magic to someone very lucky. Tarryn S tries her best to describe the aura […]

If I don’t write this now then it just won’t be done. As a wordsmith, I lose the excitement to write a “piece” about 72 hours after conception. I came up with an “angle” for Saturday’s J&B Met story on Sunday evening. So it’s been just under 72 hours since then. The angle was to […]

I don’t know why, but I have a tendency to NOT get excited about incredible things that are apparently going to happen, until they do. Invariably they fade into oblivion. A good friend of mine, Tom K, an architect (we’ll call him The Architect), has been telling me about a restaurant that he and his […]

I have great pleasure in bringing you the first TBG sighting of 2007! After receiving reports via email that the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) was spotted over the festive season as far afield as Canada, it seems the symbol of all that is good and true has returned to the temple. Welcome back, TBG, the […]

I have just had a PVR satellite decoder installed at the safe house and I thought I should let the earth see the following video. Particularly if you’re looking at getting a satellite decoder in Cape Town, or want ANY work done on your TV. Before we get into that, I must just tell you […]

I received contact today from the people’s Springbok, AJ Venter. It seems that, whilst AJ is yet to have his moment with the TBG, he does somehow feel connected to the great man. I won’t say anymore. The beauty of AJ is you DON’T have to say anymore. He does it all himself. He gift […]

Once again we see how obvious it is when one is in the presence of the great icon. Here we see the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) at Kirstenbosch Gardens, during the Goldfish concert. We can’t see his face, but there is no mistaking that sheer height and those gorgeous, glowing golden locks. This, just in […]

I cannot believe that there were even MORE hearts that were touched by the emblem of all things good, God’s servant, The TBG (Tall Blonde Guy), during his time at the Rocking The Daisies concert. Here we see not one, not two, but three souls warmed by his presence. Andrew D had this to say: […]

You know, just when I thought everyone knew the rules, some arsehole always seems to phone about business, or schedule a meeting, after one o’ clock on a Friday. Absolutely bizarre! Who ARE these people? Can’t you see everything work related ceases to exist after one on a Friday? Can’t you see that even the […]

Following the recent success of The 2006 Bunker Boy Classic, there was bound to be a summary of the intensity found within the company of the TBG. The TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) took part in the BBC and put his power and aura to good use. This, from Dan N: The TBG, with three very […]

Another TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) sighting, another small piece of insight into the world of a man who has graced Cape Town with his great presence and his great aura, that seems to encapsulate our every waking moment. To be closer to finding out what makes the Great Spirit tick, can only bring us closer […]

God bless Chris T who saved us from certain suicide as he emailed us the song that everyone has been emailing in about. I must say it is quite embarrassing to be the last to know. It doesn’t happen very often. I apologise. But now, I must tell you about this song. For those of […]

I am trembling as I write this. A buddy of mine at a local ad agency managed to get hold of this mind blowing footage of the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy). Apparently the City of Cape Town are doing another big ‘Keep the Cape in Shape’ campaign and they have done a deal with none […]

They just keep on coming in! It seems the TBG certainly (obviously) did make an impact at the Rocking the Daisies festival a couple of weeks ago. And the quality of the footage we are receiving is something QUITE astounding. So VERY up close and personal. The following from Mike N: Well I’m sure you […]

Another sighting, another photograph, another dream brought to life. TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) sightings are still producing the magic we have learnt to expect. The mystery of the man still yet to be discovered. The essence still yet to be captured. Not that it ever would. Imagine if the essence was captured? Then every man […]

The sanctity of the safe house following a weekend at the Rocking The Daisies Music Festival is something quite moving. I snuck down to Camps Bay for a swim (which was heavenly) and am now safe from all harm. Ok, so, I have finally experienced my first music festival and I can report that I […]

I had heard that some friends of mine had opened a new restaurant in Noordhoek and was waiting for the big call, inviting me for a taste. Weeks went by and I heard excited reports from other friends saying what a great time they had at “Cafe Roux”. From the reports, it sounded like the […]
