As EuroMillions lottery rolls over for a sixth time - jackpot stands at R1.3 BILLION
31.08.2008
Seriously, this is very radical shit happening here.
I can’t believe it.
Friday’s lottery did not produce a winner and the EuroMillions lottery has rolled over for a SIXTH TIME.
Next Friday’s kackpot is sitting at €110,000,000.
In Pounds : £89,000,000 (89 million Euros. Say that out loud).
In US Dollar : $163,000,000 (163 million Dollars. How does that sound?).
In ZA Ront : R1,335,000,000 (Now say this out loud “one point three billion Rand).
I can’0t type pr0p0rly anym0r0 ‘cos I ke0p wa0nting t0 typ0 zer0es the wh0le time! Millions of zer0es, everywh0re I l00k!!!
There is only one word to describe this. It’s what I call “nuts.”
The biggest rollover lottery jackpot so far this year!
29.08.2008
Not since 2007 has a rollover draw gone over R1 billion.
I want to tell you something. It is a God given FACT that YOU can win that money. The last time it hit a jackpot of A BILLION RAND, it was won by ONE person. Some guy. A very happy guy.
I’ll tell you another fact. If he didn’t buy the ticket, he wouldn’t have won the money. That, my friends, is another FACT.
Everything I am telling you today is very FACTUAL.
It is also a FACT that the buying process is completely safe on the PlayEuroMillions website and no matter how much money you win, you will get the money. PlayEuroMillions have NEVER had a problem with jackpot payouts. Have a look for yourself.
So you can umm and arr for as long as you want and it will still boil down to the number one FACT of this entire article: YOU GOTTA BE INNIT TO WINNIT.
Imagine if you don’t buy tickets and the winning numbers are the same ones as you would have had on your ticket. God, how emboerrissing. Wouldn’t you feel like a knob-end?
I think you would.
I certainly would!
That’s why I bought my tickets. Five, to be exact.
As Cape Town braces itself ahead of a monuMENTAL storm this weekend
29.08.2008
I found the following writeup by Spike on the Wavescapes.co.za website. You will quickly work out that we’re in for a bit of havoc this weekend, here in the Fairest Cape.
Well, the yo yo of the models continues. Upgrade, downgrade, upgrade, downgrade. Either way, a gigantic flame ball of a storm as big as the lower half of Africa, comprising no less than eight countries, is forming below South Africa. The fetch area is as big as South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Swaziland and Lesotho combined, and goes down to 942 minibars at the epi-centre. Epic.
Building on Friday, it rams up from a SW to SSW direction, hitting the SW Cape (Columbine to Agulhas) with galeforce 40kts NW wind from 2-3pm Saturday, strong winds right into Namaqualand. Batten down the hatches, it’s going to get ugly. By Saturday afternoon, the swell is becoming giant from a long 40-50 kt fetch surging in from behind, with swell in Cape Town going huge 25-35 feet at a wild and crazy mixture of sizes and shapes, with a lot of SW in the direction. Chaos. However, the storm is hitting diagonally across the SW Cape, and the E Cape is still light Westerly on Saturday, the first signs of the storm coming in from the West late on Saturday in the form of strong NW devils’ winds.
In Cape Town, the wind abates to near gale Saturday afternoon, then smashes through galeforce 40 kts SW in the evening, the second part of the storm furiously assaulting the coastline Columbine to Agulhas overnight into Sunday, when howling NW devils winds overnight Saturday in the S to E Cape go strong to galeforce SW, spreading past EL later. While the swell East of Agulhas is building on Saturday, it only peaks Sunday afternoon and especially Monday, with HUGE 40-50 foot seas everywhere. Giant surf due to a very SSW angle, perfectly positioned to blast past headlands and points, to surge into all manner of nook and cranny.
Sunday at dawn, it is huge between Cape Columbine and PE. Tafelberg will be 40 feet but messy with residually fresh SW winds. Go Twiggy and other tow mulletjies ! The points in the E Cape get bigger and bigger all day Sunday, becoming GIANT, with all but the most extreme-angled bays completely out of control 15-25 feet, and J-Bay likely to be a crazy 10-15 foot PLUS.
Early Sunday, NW prefrontal winds hammer the Wild Coast, rapidly going strong to galeforce SW while SW gales are peaking at 45 kts along the Southern to E Cape. The buster cracks up the coast, smashing into KZN on Sunday afternoon to evening at less strength than the Cape. An extra boost in the centre of the storm to hurricane force on Saturday night deep in the south is responsible for a sudden surge in period to 18 seconds, which occurs Monday along the Southern to E Cape, when the swell is ridiculous – one of the most powerful long range swells and it lasts right through to Thursday. In fact Tuesday and Wednesday could be off the charts with such potent period packing this long-winded pulse.

Ja, so anyway, that plane was a MD-82. It’s the ONLY model that 1 Time airlines use.
Good luck with that.
The MD-82 – 150 people dead
They go down the whole time. So much so that Justin S wrote in:
Hey Seth,
Saw you did an article on the plane crash in Madrid. Those goddamn MD-82s. Been a favourite of low cost airlines around the world, including our own (although I think Kulula may have stopped using them recently and it’s just 1time). I’ve never trusted them and refused to fly them. Rattletraps!
Every make and every model, even sub-model (Say Boeing 737-300) have a history and some of them are particularly prone to known failures and design weaknesses. It’s mostly the older ones, as the newer updated versions of those models have the design flaws fixed. And then all these shitbox planes endup at the low-cost airlines who don’t take care of sorting it out properly.
I’ve actually had my assistant re-arrange international flights completely because certain legs I noticed were flown on a plane that I did not agree with! I’m such a plane snob, hehe.
Michael Jackson turns 50 on Friday. What do you get for the man who has everything, including a killer discography, a couple of sexual assault accusations, at least one white glove, a sprawling ranch teetering on foreclosure, a family that can only be described as indescribable, and a button nose that often looks unbuttoned?
Reaching The Big Five-Oh is a profound event in every life. But for Michael, it represents a fork in his moonwalking path. One direction will take him to his own personal neverland, as in never be seen or heard from again. The other will lead him back to stardom and his rightful place atop the pop throne.
Which way will he go? Now that he’s 50, will he make it to 60? And what will he be like if he does?
I would also like to take this opportunity to wish my God-daughter Anna happy birthday, as well as Justin M and Pete T. Nice guys! Have a glorious day!
And to G Man and The Lawyer for hitting the two year mark.
Three men, one of whom allegedly has strong ties to a white supremacist gang, have admitted to a “crude” plan to use a rifle to kill Sen. Barack Obama, federal law enforcement sources told ABC News.
Three men confess to federal agents that they had planned to shoot Barack Obama.The sources said the men planned to seek a high vantage point overlooking Invesco Field and open fire with .22 and .270 scope-equipped rifles, though federal authorities have emphasized that there was no immediate, credible danger to the candidate.
Obama, who will travel to Denver this week, is set to accept the Democratic Party’s nomination for president and speak at the stadium Thursday.
I touched down in Durban on Saturday lunch time and went straight to the stadium for the Australia vs. SA Tri-Nations game. I was in town to get footage of John Smit for our new TV Show which launches live on SuperSport 1, 21h00, Friday, 5 September.
It’s certainly not in the “classy” style that we are accustomed to with 2oceansvibe’s Tuesday Tabs, but we’ll let it slide. After all, she has been on before.
She is in that more “busty” category.
Look, there is room for that from time to time.

Bang!
That is what people mean when they refer to them as “hooters.”
This is the wall of Sienna Miller’s Norf London home.
Someone has indicated their belief that Sienna Miller is a “slut”
It’s not what you want to find in the morning when you leave your home.
I once walked out of my place (when I was living with The Hooker and The Insurance Broker in Harfield (that place was a shit hole, guys)) and someone had taken shaving cream and drawn a massive set of breasts on the entrance to the driveway of the complex.
I’ll be honest, I felt a cold chill down my spine when I saw this flyer in my inbox. I can remember different names for different party nights – like “Thirsty Thursdays” and “Monday Madness” (Taboo days..). But never before had I heard a name so incredibly powerful and descriptive as MOTHERLESS MONDAYS!
Hahaha! Jesus, can you IMAGINE?! Openly throwing around the word “motherless” on a flyer! That is Hectique! bru.
Motherless Mondays at Wadda Bar
Such powerful imagery.
It’s a fact that people will be motherless tonight at Wadda Bar in Claremont.
And manages to nail the expensive part of the board!
25.08.2008
Earlier on in the year there was much excitement during the voting process for the new Monopoly World Edition game board. Cape Town was a contender and the likes of 2oceansvibe and other influential media outlets pushed people to vote.
Well I think everyone can give themselves a pat on the back – Cape Town is in the second highest category. Jeez, hating that!
Gdynia – out of favour..
Well done everyone and well done Cape Town!
Some of you might not be aware of Gdynia, in the poo brown section of the Monopoly board. So, just to educate you a little bit – what I can tell you, from memory, is that it is located in Kashubia in Eastern Pomerania. Gdynia is part of a conurbation with the spa town of Sopot, the city of Gdan’sk and suburban communities, which together form a metropolitan area called the Tricity (Trójmiasto), with a population of over a million people.
As London mayor, Boris Johnson, continues to please
25.08.2008
I will remind you that Boris Johnson is the very same very new London mayor who, upon winning the London Mayoral election, declared, “Tomorrow we get cracking, but tonight we drink.”
Boris Johnson Pure entertainment
I am very pleased to announce that Boris is back with a new speech, which he delivered at the closing of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing this weekend. It was at a “handover party” which is given so as to acknowledge London as the next hosting city, with Boris Johnson taking the lead.
To cheers from the assembled British officials, Mr Johnson declared that the Chinese “have excelled magnificently at ping pong. Ping pong was invented on the dining tables of England and it was called whiff whaff”.
“There you have, I think, the essential difference between us and the rest of the world. Other nations such as the French looked at the dining table and saw the opportunity to have dinner. We looked at the dining table and saw an opportunity to play whiff whaff.
He continued: “That is why London is the sporting capital of the world. I say to the Chinese and I say to the world – ping pong is coming home.”
Are you kidding me? This guy is like a gift from God. Do you realise that the above extract is real? That actually happened. At the Olympics! What more could you possibly want from a mayor? I’ll take a bumbling comedian over a corrupt hypocrite any day of the week.
Speaking of which, while he is often lauded as a “bumbling buffoon” and erratic at best, I think we should agree that he is taking a very Churchillesque tone in everything he does. Winston Churchill is famed for his quotes to do with women and drink. He was OFTEN completely pissed whilst simultaneously leading the British army as one of history’s most famous and accomplished leaders. Look, I’m pretty pleased Boris Johnson isn’t heading up a war machine, but you you got to enjoy his approach. Conservatives and posh snobbery (with humourous undertones playing an essential part) is becoming cool again, and he is at the forefront.
And with that, I give you the video of Boris declaring that “ping pong is coming home.”
Have a wonderful Monday, my friends. I am currently on a plane from Durban to Cape Town, which is nothing short of a miracle, given that it was a 06h30 flight which meant 05h30 arrival at the airport, which meant 05h15 departure from the hotel, which meant waking up at 04h15 (We require one hour turnaround time).
LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s Love, Angel, Music and Baby No. 2 for Gwen Stefani, who gave birth to a boy Thursday.
Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani added to their family with the birth of baby Zuma on Thursday.

“Mother, baby and family are all happy and healthy,” he said in a statement.
The pop star and fashionista has another son, 2-year-old Kingston, with her husband, rocker Gavin Rossdale. Rossdale also has a teenage daughter with fashion designer Pearl Lowe.
