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 […]

I must say, I do get quite a few fake TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) sightings and they’re pretty easy to tell apart from the real thing. You see, you can’t beat the real thing. The TBG is the Coca-Cola of tall blonde people and when you are presented with his image, you can just tell. […]

I heard about this about a week or so ago and I’ve been waiting patiently for someone to send in a TBG sighting from the night. Apparently, the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) went for dinner to Posticino restaurant in Sea Point and, slowly but surely during the course of the night, the word got around […]

My Mother’s extravagant taste and lifelong quest for quality has no doubt contributed towards my insistence of top service and superior brands. As a child I remember there were particular brands in our home that had no possible substitutes – Carmel’s gherkins and Judy’s Pickled onions are two simple examples that come to mind. There […]

Look, they HAVE hiked the price up to R7 from their initial launch price a number of months ago of R6. We won’t have a go at them for that. You’re still able to use car guard money in your ashtray to pay for 2 eggs, 2 slices of toast, 2 strips of bacon, 2 […]

It is always a life changing experience when people strike it lucky and get to meet the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) – let alone when they manage to get a photograph with the great man.

I know, I’ve been quite distant lately. But it’s nothing to do with you – don’t blame yourself. I think I know what has caused it. You see, a week or so ago I popped into Harley’s liquor on Buitengracht Street (defiantly open on Sundays) to top up on the stock of Jamesons at the […]

In one of the most upsetting false TBG sightings since Peter Crouch was spotted masquerading as the TBG, Daren F sent in this “TBG sighting” (Daren is one of the special Darrens who only get one ‘r’ in their name). The TBC – Tall Blonde Child Hi 2oceansvibe, I’m pretty sure I had a picture […]

My iPod has a myriad of songs on it, ranging from the classics to cheesy pop, with an emphasis on Laura Branigan. That was a joke…..in a way. Moving on, I like to cater for all types and there are many CDs ripped onto my iPod that may not be my cup of tea. That […]

It’s true that I frequent Caprice in Camps Bay more than the average person. Circumstances have allowed Caprice to be the nearest cocktail bar / restaurant to my place of residence. You see, God has blessed me – and I will shamelessly punt Caprice until I can punt no more. This is not the first […]

Sunday was a fun day. Sunday was also Mother’s Day. With my parents living abroad there is a distinct lack of friends on these family related days. I did the usual and called up a few bastard child friends who also have parents living far away. G-man accepted the invite and we headed off to […]

A new backpage article tells us that one of the 1995 World Cup Rugby players who won’t go away, Joost van der Westhuizen, is used to being insulted. How very unfortunate, my love. The article goes: “The former rugby icon was referring to an incident last week in the NuBar nightclub in Stellenbosch, where a […]

This year is getting off to an AWESOME start with regards to TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) sightings. Gordon G writes: “Apologies for the quality of the photo. I had to use my camera phone while walking past him, to ensure I didn’t disturb him in his natural environment. He was looking a little sunburned. Clearly […]

I am honestly blown away with the TBG sightings! 2006 is obviously the year of the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy). Two sightings in one week of the TBG. One in Wynberg, and one in Claremont! This is obviously sparking speculation that the TBG is “looking to buy in the Southern Suburbs”. But I wouldn’t get […]

It is not often that we get sent TBG sightings from as far afield as Wynberg Chelsea. Spotted in a clothing store by Nick W, he noted the TBG’s new sunglasses and chrome style helmet. He was said to have been “warm and friendly”. Of course he was! God bless you TBG. Rare TBG sighting […]

Manna (Epicure) Restaurant on Kloof Street was the venue for our New Year’s day headache. I had been to the establishment before, but only for half an hour. I looked forward to my next visit and was glad that the time had finally arrived. After an extravagant lavish New Year’s night, I really wanted to […]

We were sent in a series of photographs from an Englishman on holiday in Cape Town. Johnny V from London had this to say, “When I came over to Cape Town on holiday, the last thing I expected to see was the TBG! Everyone I know in London knows about the TBG and would love […]

What are the odds? Jared has been fortunate enough to spot the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) whilst he jockeys for positions in this year’s Mr 2oceansvibe competition. It’s like a lottery win! As we know, meeting the TBG has been some people’s dying wish; securing a place in the runnings for Mr 2oceansvibe is just […]

Mark L sent this in saying that “The TBG was clearly in his natural environment at the Cell C Sound of the city concert. I froze when I saw him and struggled to get the camera out of my pocket. I didn’t want him to notice me in case it stressed him out. It really […]

I’m surprised I haven’t really said anything about Camps Bay’s Bayside Cafe before, but I’ve just never really thought of it. I go there a lot and I suppose the regularity of it didn’t necessitate a mention; so I never did. (Seriously, you have to admit, I am CLEANING UP semi-colons lately). But I went […]

Well, we are gobsmacked! We have just received this TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) sighting from someone who managed to find themselves at a private gathering of the TBG and his closest friends at a mansion in the Constantia hills. You can tell by the way the TBG is goofin’ around, that he is totally relaxed […]

A week or so ago we showed a pic of the TBG (further down the page) on a Harley after we received a tip off that he would be driving past with 80 other Biker Boyz. A number of our precious readers wrote in saying they didn’t believe it was him. WELL, I TELL YOU […]
