R50 OFF T-SHIRTS FOR 2OCEANSVIBE READERS
23 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 4 Comments
Do you remember the other day I featured (here ) that picture painted on a wall in Cape Town of the “Simunyes?” You know, the African style ripoff of The Simpsons? Let’s get a quick recap of that. The eSimpowenis Well, either way, I got an email from Eric at Springleap who told [...]

THE COMFORT WIPE COMMERCIAL
17 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 7 Comments
Ok. Unlike the unresearched photos that The Insurance Broker was sending around (here) of some photos taken onboard as the Air France flight was going down, this commercial is not a hoax. It is an ad for the Comfort Wipe which makes a certain bathroom activity that little bit easier. They claim that it is [...]

Again the power of the 2oceansvibe community is on display as we receive no less than THREE separate emails with photographs of the same sign displayed on a shop window in Cape Town’s Blue Routemall. Behold: Spotted on window of a men’s manicure parlour. Blue Route Mall, Cape Town. Look, it’s a bloody nice [...]

CONSUMER REVENGE
16 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 14 Comments
This one jumped out at me. Firstly because I appreciate the extent to which the fella freaked out and, secondly, because I used to own the exact same car and can categorically state that I have never (and will never again) deal with worse service from ANY brand than I did with Land Rover Cape [...]

FRENCH VISA ARRIVES – “MY LIFE ORGANISED” PERSONAL ASSISTANT SERVICE STRIKES AGAIN
01 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I received an sms from Caro at My Life Organised a week ago saying, “your appointment at the French Embassy was this morning – I’ll call them later and let you know how it went.” What? Who? Shit, did I miss an appointment to get my Shengen visa for my upcoming overseas trip?We had met [...]

COSMO’S VANESSA RAPHAELY WANTS A PIECE
30 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 4 Comments
Gee whiskers! I don’t know if I should tell everyone that I cracked a mention in this month’s Cosmopolitan Magazine’s Editor’s Letter, or if I should keep it quiet so no one finds out I bought the mag before I heard about it! Not that you can blame me for buying it. Try this cover [...]

CORE GROUP INSIDERS COME FORWARD
19 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 47 Comments
Oh dear, it really is a sad state of affairs. We have been reporting the iStore/Core Group saga to you since last week. It began with my personal account of a dismal experience in the Waterfront iStore (here), which ended up with me going next door to Incredible Connection. I then followed up [...]

SEND FREE ROOIBOS TEA TO A FRIEND – NO SPICE!
18 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
Please don’t say I don’t think of you! I was pretty impressed with this and thought it might appeal to the homesick ex-pats over there in London. Especially seeing as it features one of those unique South African flavours – Rooibos tea. So not only will you be scoring freebies, you’ll be doing a good [...]

APPLE CORE’S DEAFENING SILENCE CONTINUES
16 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 19 Comments
With the comments section of our original Waterfront Apple Mac iStore article closing in on the 100 mark, Core’s non-response seems very much in line with those same comments. And I doubt they aren’t aware of it. When the comments section includes responses from current and ex-employees, as well as the owner of the Claremont [...]

FOOSBALL DESIGN DREAMS
11 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
I spotted a pretty cool competition going on at Foozi.co.za (local foosball manufaturing company) targeted at local ad agencies and designers. It’s a pretty rad idea, with the best foosball table design winning their very own branded foosball table! Quite nice. I had a little poke around and there are some pretty sick designs. [...]

11 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 6 Comments
This is how I’m rolling at the moment. I have just returned from a weekend away in Kommetjie where The Muse and I looked after The Surfer‘s pad. I offloaded the car into The Safe House and took in the sight of my new Puma bag, shoes and jacket. I liked what I saw and [...]

04 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 7 Comments
Now I’m sure you spotted those Woolworths Mother’s Day ads around 2oceansvibe. Mm, it gave you a fright, didn’t it? Mother’s Day always seems to creep up on me. It’s one of those tricky ones, because it’s not a set date. It’s one of those “second Sunday in the month” vibes. It IS in May, [...]

Don’t know about you, but I just bought 5 lines for Friday’s Euromillions jackpot. I suggest you do the same. During a recession, why would you not?

That’s right, the original Ape Town brand has just released a whole new range of colours to suit every mood! They’re really sick and, as usual, they’ve nailed [...]

Those of you who know and understand the orgasmic flavoursome proportions of Rotherham-diet-approved Daim (also called “Dime” in some countries) chocolates, have probably been sharing the pain that has been running through my body for the last few months.

WELL DONE CAPE TOWN
20 Mar 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
Apparently yesterday was an absolute joke at the Roeland Street Fire Department in Cape Town. Witnesses have confirmed that the support from various Cape Town brands was so overwhelming, they could have “opened a small shop if they wanted.” This, following the radical fires that hit Table Mountain on Wednesday night / Thursday morning. THAT’S [...]
