| I'M A GHERKIN IN A BOTTLE |
Gotta eat me the right way
[permalink]
I nearly pissed myself when this landed on my lap. I don't know HOW the guys that sent this actually managed to get them to me. I believe the gherkins went through six sets of hands to reach its final destination. Now THAT is perseverance! We expect nothing less from the 2oceansvibe community! So a big 'TA' to the kids at Motherland! It's not everyday you get a bottle of Carmel Gherkins appearing out of NOWHERE !

A whole lot of love

| COCA-COLA COMMERCIAL - FAKE |
Absolute bullshit
[permalink]
I don't know how many of you have seen it, but I'm sure those of you who have will agree with me - The Coca-Cola ad with the singing woman handing out Coca-Cola's from her handbag is ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT.
First of all, she is walking down a BUSY road and we can hear her singing ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY! Hardly any road noise whatsover! You can even see cars in the background - but you can't hear them!
Secondly, she hands out a whole stack of Cokes. Her Handbag must have weighed a ton. She shows no sign of carrying a heavy bag at the start of the ad. Nor does the weight affect her singing which is, oddly, absolutely perfect throughout the ad.
Lastly, I have chatted to my friends and acquaintances (all of whom have lived in different cities throughout the World) and NO-ONE has ever seen this happen before.
Nice one COCA-COLA, but we're not stupid. Your street scene is FAKE! Try your play-play ad campaign on somebody else's third World country.

| WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE ? |
Who don't understand
[permalink]
I have had the great misfortune of putting my car into the Autotrader and having it displayed at R100,000 below asking price. I was asking R160,000 for my Golf 4 GTi (exec.) (That's right, 'executive')) with 45,000km on the clock. The kind people at Autotrader opened my life up to an orgasm of phone calls from strike-it-lucky wheeler dealers since Thursday, before last (!) at 07.20am as I was exfoliating with my oversized sponge in the bath. It was at that point that I realised I was doomed for at least a full week (until the next Autotrader came out) of phone calls from people trying to land a deal that would make them the toast of THEIR town. Everyone will ask them if it's true. Like the father in the movie 'The Castle', they take pride in getting a deal, they don't give a fuck what they actually bought. This would surely place them in an untouchable category, deeming them 'The Best' at finding bargains.
Although I would usually say "The ad was a mistake, it's not R60,000, it's actually R160,000" as I answered the phone, before they could utter a word - I sometimes humoured myself with a different approach.
Sometimes the phone would ring and I would be in Evil Seth Mode (ESM).
"Hello"
"Hello, How are you?"
"I am fine."
"Ay man... I was just looking through the Autotrader and I checked your car"
"Ummm, yes. The Golf 4 GTi for R60,000?"
"Yes, like I was just wondering, is it still available?"
"No. I sold it an hour ago."
"You sold it an hour ago?"
"Yes. A guy phoned me"
"FOR SIXTY THOUSAND RAND?"
"No, I was really in a rush. The guy offered me R50,000"
"FIFTY THOUSAND RAND! Was there anything wrong with the car?" (Sometimes, at this stage, they would mention something about whether or not the car was a "code three").
"Nothing wrong at all"
"So why did you sell it so cheap?"
"I was just tired of the car and wanted to get rid of it".
"oh"
"Thanks for calling"
"oh"
"bye"
"umm"
"what?"
"No, I just wanted to say it's very cheap!"
"I know, you lost. You missed out by an hour. You were too late"
"Oh"
"BYE!"
"bye"
Is it bad that I would go through EXACTLY THE SAME phone call now and then, just to amuse my mates? I think it's fine. I had to spice up the phone call now and then, to keep me from slitting my throat with a mouse pad. I must have got two to three hundred phone calls. I called Autotrader to explain to them their folly, but I was too late - the second week advertisement had been placed - in the next edition of Autotrader.
That is when Angry Seth Mode (ASM) kicked in. I demanded three (I had paid for two) weeks ad space of the most expensive sized ad in return for the pain I had, and will still, endure. In the States they would have sued for at LEAST $2.38 million for that kind of psychological stress. They accepted the settlement.
So now that we've switched to ASM, it seems a lesson in phone etiquette is the order of the day. I have stumbled upon a very interesting phenomenon, and I don't know if it is the background of the people, the theme of the phonecall or the general simpleness of the people we share this wonderful place called Planet Earth with. But they do something quite remarkable when they call. You probably didn't notice it earlier but don't worry, I'll show you again.
The phone rings...
[tring tring] (I don't normally use 'tring tring', I normally use 'ring ring', but I find it funny when people use 'tring'. A phone doesn't have teeth, how could it POSSIBLY make a 't' sound???? WAKE UP PEOPLE!)
Me: "Hello"
Them: "Hello, How you?"
[at this EXACT point, it takes under 0.1 seconds for ASM to kick in. Listen to my response and realise my point]
"HOW AM I?"
"Yes, how are you?"
"I don't even know you! Without, at the very least, your name, how could you POSSIBLY interact with such familiarity?". (The call is usually silent by now as I have used, what in some cultures could be described as a 'big word', the word 'familiarity'. )
What I was trying to explain to these individuals (and what has now become a lifetime preaching topic for me) is that one should introduce oneself BEFORE one asks the listener how he/she is. You can't ask someone how they are if they don't have the faintest idea of who you are. The first thing everybody wants to know when they pick up the phone is who the fuck they are talking to. If that person wastes time by not introducing themselves, it only makes the listener more agitated. When you ask me how I am, what I REALLY want to say is, "Not well, 'cos I don't know who the FUCK I am talking to!".
The best guy was the guy that hung up on me after he lamented that he didn't appreciate me putting an ad in the Autotrader, only to give him a lesson in social etiquette. He got his friend to phone back from another number two minutes later to ask if the car was available.
And lastly, before I REALLY upset those 'readers' who only come here for the pictures, are the guys that waste time AFTER learning that the car is way over their budget. I don't know why they don't just hang up.
"No there was a mistake, the car is actually R160,000"
"I THOUGHT SO!!!"
"I know, they made a mistake"
"I THOUGHT SO! Because I saw the ad and thought 'now this must be a bloody good bargain'"
"Yes, that's right. It was shown at the wrong price."
"That's funny"
"I know, it's PRETTY FUCKING FUNNY!"
"Ok, but don't be rude now"
"FUCK OFFFFFFFFFFFF"
I won't be angry anymore. I have preached my anger to the World. No more can the simple people harm me. I have made a sacrifice, on the World Wild Web. I am safe from danger. I can sleep.
ps. the car is still available and only goes into Autotrader on Thursday (at the right price.)

| POSH HUMOUR ANYONE? |
Piss yourself in style
[permalink]
I was chizziling at Planet bar the other night and the Manager told me about the comedy evenings they're holding at the Mount Nelson during Winter. I told him I would come, but only if they had Mark Banks. True as God, they do! So that's me, booked, July 4, Cape Colony Restaurant! A classy three course meal and a large number of toots awaits me! I haven't watched Mark Banks ('Banksie' if you go way back like we do) for a number of years - I remember when he had to escape the country for a little bit because some extremists wanted him lynched for something he said - this guy is too funny for words! Can't wait to see the boy in the Nellie's stylish environment - he's bound to go hard.

Mark Banks - no relation to FNB
Being a classy individual, I'm a big supporter of the Mount Nelson. I got The Nellie to send me some info so you lot can sort yourselves out for a bit of posh humour this Winter.
This is the breakdown:
On select Mondays from June to September 2005, four of South Africa’s funniest men – namely Kurt Schoonraad, Mark Banks, Marc Lottering, and Alan Committie – will dazzle guests with evenings of intimate entertainment and stand up comedy at its best! In addition, Executive Chef Stephen Templeton is set to impress with a hearty 3-course winter menu and warming glass of Glüwein on arrival.
In July guests will be riveted with ‘An Evening With Mark Banks’. Banks is well known for his satirical fun poking and stand-up comedy routines in front of thousands of the country’s top decision makers. He is also known for moonlighting with guest spots on SAfm’s Big Big Brunch Show and BBC World Service Weather Report as well as occasional stints on Radio Algoa’s Memories are Made of This.
August sees one of South Africa’s favourite comedians inviting you to his hilarious show – ‘Dinner with Mister Lottering’. Described by some as ‘a breath of fresh air sent from the Cape flats with love’, over the past few years Marc Lottering has performed at a number of self scripted one-man shows, earning prestigious awards along the way. Lottering will now make a once off appearance at the Mount Nelson Hotel where he will share with the audience some of his favourite stories from earlier shows.
September sees physical comedian and madcap comic – Alan Committie – return to the Mount Nelson for an evening of laughter and entertainment. Drawing on sketches, monologues, characters and stand-up routines from his many one man shows (including Titanic on Ice, TV or not TV, and The Clown Jewels). Committie will explore how we as South Africans – cope with stress; introducing the popular but very obnoxious Johan van der Walt; and performing his special brand of physical high-jinx.
The Mount Nelson’s Cape Colony Comedy evenings will be paired with the culinary expertise of our Executive Chef Stephen Templeton and his team. The winter-inspired menu will consist of a warming vegetarian soup starter followed by a choice of hearty and wholesome Main Courses such as Chef Templeton’s famous deboned ox tail or the delicious Springbok Pinotage Pie. To end off, pastry chef extraordinaire, René Smit, will guarantee a dessert finale like no other to match the comedy and laughter that will be enjoyed after the meal.
Cape Colony Comedy evenings cost R225.00 per person – inclusive of a glass of Glüwein on arrival, a sumptuous 3-course menu and comedy show. Dinner will be served in The Cape Colony at 19h00, allowing ample time to enjoy your meal before the comedy show begins at 20h45. Dessert, tea, coffee or liqueur will be served at the end of the performance.
The dates of the performances are:
4 July 2005 – Mark Banks
8 August 2005 – Marc Lottering
12 September 2005 – Alan Committie
A portion of the ticket price will be donated to the Hotels Housing Trust of which the Mount Nelson is a member. The trust helps to uplift Cape Town’s homeless, via the South African Homeless People’s Federation, with the aim of helping squatters obtain better housing.

| KING SIZE BASE - FOLLOW UP STORY |
It all starts to make sense
[permalink]
Our story below entitles 'This Fellow' is about the chap at Bed King who said it is impossible to find a king size base for a bed.
Since then we have learnt some interesting facts. First of all, if you don't have a base/bed specially made for your king size mattress, then you can use two single bases together. Quite mean.
Secondly, there is a reason why they don't make king size mattresses - they don't fit through standard door frames. Ohhhhh, I seeeee!
That's right... coming to you live from 2oceansvibe.com - The bed/base professionals - The Ace of Base.

Road users should unite

Hi Everyone,
I don't normally send out emails such as this, but due to the importance I had too.
As I have Michelin's on my car, I want to send an email to Cape Town Traffic Department requesting them to put a chicane towards the end of de Waal Drive - on the last bend before the straight that leads you to the Arabella Sheraton and Waterfront, as it is a very fast bend and I'm unsure of my tyres.
Please, please show me your support my adding your names to the list I have put together. Please send your name to editor@2oceansvibe.com.
Concerned.

| TOM HENMAN CRASHED OUT IN 2ND ROUND |
It's funnier if you call him 'Tom'
[permalink]
It's too beautiful! Tom Henman (Tim Cruise) went to five sets yesterday and left Wimbledon before even reaching the third round.

Tom Henman - wearing some sort of a gum gaurd
I must remind you that before this happened, the British press and public continued their annual "Is this tiger Tim's year?" jinxing process. And now...he's gone. Sky TV news proclaimed that this was probably the last time he would follow his quest for Wimbledon glory. No shit.

| THE WORLD'S MOST JINXED SPORTSMAN |
Tim Henman - The People's Loser
[permalink]
[ THIS ARTICLE IS FROM LAST YEAR
AND WILL BE REPEATED EVERY YEAR
AROUND WIMBLEDON TIME, AS IT WILL ALWAYS APPLY.
ITS ABOUT TIM HENMAN
THE FOUR-TIMES WIMBLEDON SEMI-FINALIST ]
One of the joys of getting SKY News (besides from being able to view live footage of English Football Yobbos preparing for Euro 2004) is the exposure we get of 'COME ON TIM' fever! I used to think it was reserved for Wimbledon but it looks like we get it throughout the year! And what fun it is to watch!
It is virtually every sportsman's hidden superstition that his performance can be 'jinxed'. Particularly through something verbal. The dictionary definition explains the word as 'bad luck, or a person or thing that is believed to bring bad luck. My trusty Microsoft Word thesaurus gives 'curse' and 'gremlin' as alternatives. 'Gremlin' did not give Bishop Tutu's name.
Supporters of various sportspeople and sports teams would never dream of uttering words like "God, I hope De Wet Barry doesn't get injured". It just wouldn't make sense to risk such magical mystery.
Then you get the British Public who, fully aware of the potential power of 'jinxing', manage to give Tim Henman more exposure before an event than any other individual in the world. Not that other nations don't support their players - it's just the way the press over there handle it.
Living in London for just under three years allowed my digs mates and I to witness it first hand every year Wimbledon came around.
"COME ON TIM ! YOU CAN DO IT"
.......would not seem out of place in the slightest. They never go for 'Good luck, Tim' or 'Do your best'. It always seems to be in the form of a whine and the annual question..... 'Is this Tim's year?'
They were having discussions yesterday on Sky about exactly that -'Is this Timiny's year'! What they are referring to is obviously the winning of something big. I browsed over Timiny's website which produces some very dull stats. He won the Paris Masters last year, but really, it's not Wimbledon, its not the US Open, it's not the French Open, it's not the Ozzie Open, its not Stella Artois!
He has won three singles titles since October 2001 - The Adelaide International Series (Jan '02), The Washington International Series (Aug '03) and the Paris Masters (Nov '03).
I notice on Sky News that they are now whining before every event. This time the Stella Artois Championships. Yesterday they had Tim interviewed with the hopes of a nation clearly on his shoulders (once again). Needless to say he was knocked out of the second round! I nearly fell over this morning when I turned on the news. Please do yourself a favour and get the Daily Telegraph today. God, the pain of seeing another full front page pic of Tim dealing with the letting down of a nation.
I wouldn't be surprised if they hit him with 'WAIT FOR WIMBLEDON TIMINY - YOU CAN DO IT !!!' tomorrow.
Needless to say, I think the poms need to do everyone a favour and back off a bit. The guy must be wearing hair dye because you have to be completely grey to deal with the kind of expectations and let downs he does.
It would probably help if Timiny was less of a nerd, mind.
I don't know if I will be able to cope with him actually managing to win Wimbledon so I'll get it started.......
GO TIM !!
WIMBLEDONS YOURS FOR THE TAKING
YOU CAN DO IT

Has a challenge
[permalink]
Now this gentleman has challenged a friend of mine. After my friend tried to outsource a king size base for his bed, he was told by this fellow that they don't make such a thing. My friend argued that this is surely impossible. This fellow said if my friend could find a king size base (in Cape Town, I presume) he would pay for it for my friend.
So there you have it, people. If you want a free king size bed base, find one, and this fellow will pay for it. It's like we're GIVING you money here!

Leonardo can thank his lucky stars he had a bottle smashed over his head, and not sprayed in the face WITH WATER like Tom Cruise was!

It's going a little bit mental in Hollywood these days. At a party at Rick Saloman's house (the guy from the home made porno with Paris hilton), a woman arrived, looking for her boyfriend, and proceeded to hit Leonardo DiCaprio over the head with a bottle.

To say we're over the moon is an understatement. It's very rare to catch the TBG in such a natural state. Minding his own business, clearly enjoying the show. I wonder what makes the TBG tick?

| WEDNESDAY NIGHT - DECISIONS DECISIONS |
What do you do when you want to do everything?
[permalink]
What do you do if you're informed of three events you truly want to experience, and they're all on the same night - the day before a public holiday? You'll just have to go to all of them, my love!
I wouldn't miss the Dirty Skirts launch at Vegas Room (98 Long Street) for the World. Things kick off at 8pm, with a live performance at 9.30pm. If you haven't seen the Skirts before, do yourself a favour and be there - if you have seen them, you'll obviously be there. Apparently the angel count is going to be higher than an Enrique concert.
The beauty of Vegas Room is it's on Long Street, which eventually turns into Kloof Street. Kloof Street is the venue of the latest Rock Star Fund party at Dharma's boy, Osaka (next to Saigon). So, depending on the state you're in, you could even walk from Vegas Room to Osaka. The last Rock Star party (held at Miam Miam) was off the charts - I expect nothing less this time.

Click for full-size invite
And then, to add insult to injury, Caprice are hosting a School Disco party. Don't fret, there will be time. Obviously these things go on all night - Thank God Thursday is a holiday (Youth Day. Isn't it always Youth Day?)!

Click for full-size invite
It looks very much like the angels on the Caprice invite are wearing rah-rah skirts. Do you think they'll be wearing them on the night? OF COURSE THEY'LL BE WEARING THEM ON THE NIGHT! It might be a little nippy in Winter, but Caprice doesn't have mushroom heaters for nothing. I chatted to the owners of Caprice and am told that 80% of the reason behind the mushroom heaters at Caprice was for this School Disco party. What a wonderful concept!

| THE BAY HOTEL SCRAMBLES FOR BREATH |
Only the best PR spin can help this marketing blunder
[permalink]
After seeing a Sunday Times signboard saying something about the “All-nighter singles evening” at The Bay hotel, I darted for the nearest shop. The headline in the paper “Wanted: girl’s for all-nighter” was following up on a story I wrote about the 'Organised Gang Bang at the Bay Hotel'.

CLICK HERE FOR FULL SIZE ARTICLE
The Sunday Times article went on to say that I wrote my article on The Bay because (according to Village and Life Chairman, Maree Brink) I was jealous for not being invited.
[pause for effect]
Well, we certainly ARE amused! Don’t be angry because your marketing team COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY ballsed up – which was the theme of my article. It’s called constructive criticism, my love. Jealousy is a few light years away. Read it again I find me the smallest trace that says that I would wish to spend an evening in a Camps Bay bordello amongst thirty desperate, aroused (a dangerous combination) 40-year-olds chasing after 30 very genuine women. It's also INCREDIBLY HILARIOUS to read that the Sunday Times have found out that the 60 single people have to fit into 30 rooms! If that's not an organised orgy, I don't know what is! Can you guys dig yourselves any deeper into this hole? What are you going to do next? The funniest thing you could do from here, is cancel the party!
Commenting on my quote “alcohol-induced sex orgy”, it was mentioned that Brink doesn’t even drink. It’s nice to know that you can partake in a sex orgy without being pissed, but I was talking about the general theme of the party/orgy.
I can just see the morning-after breakfast in Tides Restaurant. You’ll find mutterings of “Jesus, it really DID turn into bordello-style alcohol indused sex orgy”. If there ever was a time for newspaper reporters to fuel up the road crew and camp outside the entrance for shots of the red-faced participants departing in the morning – this is it. If only the cameras could capture the stench of sex in the air. Sunday Times, South Africa - if not The World, EXPECTS YOU to follow up.

| 13 June, 2005 - VEGAS ROOM |
| VEGAS ROOM - THIS IS IT |
A 100% full-frontal party
[permalink]
I don’t mean to cuss, but I just came back from a fucking evening of note! Some good guys have opened a new club called Vegas Room. Oh, ok, I see what you’ve done. It’s like VEGAS. Ohhhh, VEEEGAS. Crazy mental! Is that what you want from us? Do you want us to go crazy? Aaaargh!! I’m crazy! Hold me down! I’m a fucking lunatic!
[insert 6 hours of sleep here]
So the owners of Vegas Room made us feel special by giving us a 6-seater booth for the launch party on Saturday night. WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY? I said they gave us a BOOTH. God that feels good! I’m so stoked my arse is happier in a booth than other people’s arses at normal tables. Thangyaverymuch.
So I never quite got the brief, but Vegas pumps very nicely for you. It’s at 98 Long Street (The same venue as the Dirty Skirts album launch coming up on Wednesday) and is probably the same size as Eclipse. The idea is for comedy acts and God knows what else to do their thing on the stage and then for everything to be cleared away to make way for a party. The shareholders include Sox from Caprice so you’ll struggle to get off the dance floor. Last night was no exception. Angels were seen pumping their hands towards the roof shouting (in unison) key-party-phrases like ‘Pump it up some more’. Is that not what it’s all about?
