Yesterday we showed you a pic of Heather Graham (here) wearing a rather revealing ripped dress, taken at the premier of her new movie, The Hangover in Dublin. The general response in the comments section from the female 2oceansvibers ranged from “hot” to “tacky.” Yesterday was the premier for the same movie in London and [...]

The email read, “Hey Seth, please enjoy this – a South African in London trying a recession-beating approach to marketing his flat in Wimbledon…” I checked it out and thoroughly enjoyed this new approach to ex-pats renting out houses in London. In particular, the voiceover – fairly awesome. ..”and, of course, this bedroom has a [...]

Shocking, shocking, shocking! As poms and ex-pats have to spend their time worrying about terror attacks repeats of past atrocities, it seems a local trend of attack is on the rise over there – bicycle helmets indoors. When will the madness end? This, from a troubled Dale S: Hey Seth, I am in [...]

SPERM CELL BECOMES FATHER
17 Feb 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 13 Comments
So this little shit in the UK has become a dad at the age of 13. Which is fairly incredible, given that 13 would put us in standard 5 (“grade” 7). Personally, I was in standard 6 (I was incredibly bright as a child) at that age and talk of sex was definitely apparent in [...]

EX-PATS – TIDY UP YOUR SHIT
21 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I really wish we had these things in my day in London. My God, we hoarded a lot of crap. I remember carting a life-size Scooby Doo cardboard cut-out from digs to digs, all over London – along with the other crap (larva lamp included). I never did see the irony in boasting that the [...]
