2oceans Vibe

The Caprice handicap zone supercar parking ticket Venus fly trap..

It’s easily one of Cape town’s most famous winter specials. Almost as famous as their Sunday nights, the Cafe Caprice 2-for-1 burger special is loved by locals and foreigners alike! I’m going tomorrow night and I strongly advise you get in there soon. Once the momentum gets going you’ll struggle to get a table throughout winter, so don’t be shy to book. Click here if you don’t know about the Dreamy Burger… my personal fave…

It’s all happening in Camps bay, folks – and if you missed the action from Sunday night (we’ve just surfaced) you’ll be interested to know that Danny K’s ex (Lee-Ann Liebenberg) drank R60,000 worth of bubbly on Sunday night at 2oceansvibe’s spiritual home, Cafe Caprice in Camps Bay – shortly before accusing a 19-year-old child of feeling her up. That’s when her current boyfriend, ex-GQ Best Dressed Man Of The Year and my predecessor, Nicky Van Der Walt, beat the child up. Follow the link for more.

The Silly Season is no better on display than in the hub of silliness, Camps Bay. Our brothers and sisters from the north have arrived, with their vests and muscles and costume jewelry. It’s quite beautiful to watch, my china! I took a little video clip of the action and you just won’t believe what I caught on tape, cycling past.

Apple Launches New Macbook Air – At Apple’s keynote today, it was all about the Mac. “What would happen if a Macbook met an iPad?” asked Steve Jobs. “An iPad has instant-on. Great battery life, amazing standby time, solid state storage, and it’s thinner and lighter. What would happen if a Mac and an iPad hooked up?” Meet the latest version of the Macbook Air, a super thin computer (just .68 inch at its thickest point) that Jobs called “the future of notebooks.” [fastcompany]

Spice Surrounding New Age Resignations – The media sector has been buzzing with speculation about the reasons why five senior editorial staff at the New Age newspaper simultaneously quit their jobs on Tuesday, a day before the paper was due to launch. News of the resignations first trickled in on Tuesday evening, but by Wednesday local newspapers and even the BBC were covering the story. [mail&guardian]

Kazakhstan Making Unofficial Borat Sequel – When Borat arrived and was a huge, smash hit around the world… the people of Kazakhstan weren’t happy. Sacha Baron Cohen’s fictional character was a Kazakh and his portrayal of the country was hilariously horrible and Kazakhstan became an international punchline. So now, in a weird revenge plot, they’re trying to get 20th Century Fox to sue them by making an unofficial, unauthorized sequel to Borat called My Brother, Borat. [cinemablend]

China Still Indulging In Forced Abortions – China’s one-child policy, long a staple of its public policy for urban, ethnic Han Chinese, officially exists on the national level as a series of monetary incentives for those who hold to it and monetary punishments for those who run afoul. Numerous interviews and investigations, however, consistently uncover the policy as it is often applied: through forced, sometimes very late-term, abortions. [newser]

Be Careful When Your Phone Falls In The Toilet – A little advice: If you drop your phone in the toilet, think twice before going after it. Otherwise you could end up like this man in China who did that and had to be rescued by firemen. On television.The man in this video dropped his phone and it disappeared down the little hole, so we went shoulder-deep trying to get it back. 10 minutes and a few crowbars later he was freed. And now he’s all over Chinese television. [gizmodo]

Michael Schumacher’s Title-Winning 1994 Benetton F1 Car Up For Grabs – Calling all the super rich Schumacher fans! The mint-condition car Michael Schumacher won his first championship in has now turned up on JamesList for a whopping €1.5 million (about $2,087,500 at the time of writing). This is the original Formula 1 Benetton-Ford F1 B194-8 driven by the F1 legend when he won his first world championship in 1994 in Adelaide, Australia. Park that outside Caprice! [bornrich]

Sex.com Sells For $13 Million – A Caribbean corporation agreed to pay $13 million to buy Sex.com from its bankrupt owner. The domain changed hands in 2004 for $12 million. So while sex might sell, it apparently doesn’t appreciate. Personally I think it would be brilliant to buy it and put up a static page with pictures of kittens. That would confuse Google a bit, I’m sure. [valleywag]

live – every day – 1-click to tune in..

To all the ex-pats and foreign readers out there…it’s October already and you’re leaving it pretty late, if you still haven’t booked your villa for your Cape town holiday. I mean, you ARE coming to Cape Town over December, right? Best you get moving – and 2oceansvibe Villas has something for every pocket. See what’s available after the jump.

One of the world’s most celebrated DJs, JIMPSTER, is playing live at Cafe Caprice on Saturday night. And, what’s more, his entire set will be broadcast live on 2oceansvibe Radio. So if you’re unable to make it, you can have your own little party on your ace in your bedsit in Balham!

Good lord, it’s gonna be a schtoinker!

Anyone who went the first time will happily confirm it was the greatest party of their lives. Well it’s happening again – and it’s gonna be crazier than ever. Chicks in lumo bikinis and roller-skates are not uncommon at these Kings Of Neon parties (how awesome is that name?). Trust me, it’s off the hizzo!

Mmm, leg-warmers. More of that.

And leotards.

Wear them and get hammered in your lumo clothing.

Neon rave sticks are allowed.

We’re pretty blown away by the response to the “Seth Song” we’ve been playing fairly regularly, over at 2oceansvibe Radio. It’s not only a damn funny tune, but I tell you what – it’s got the heads bopping too! Apparently The Assembly lost their minds to it last Saturday!

The guys behind the tune are none other than I Scream And The Chocolate Stix – the same guys who gave you the sensational online viral tune My Cape Town.

People LOVE that tune – including the likes of Helen Zille, I might add!

So anyway, we’ve had a number of requests for the lyrics of the Seth Song. And here theyt are – along with an online recording of the tune.

Press the orange play button below.

Enjoy!

For those of you new to the concept – let me first fill you in on the Dreamy Burger. This following excerpt was taken from last year’s burger special announcement:

I remember when my all time favourite Caprice waitress, Justine, first described the Dreamy Burger to me. It was something to do with a slab of cheese on top of the meat, and then she began to describe how the hot mushroom sauce is then poured over that slab of cheese, melting it in the process. As she described this final stage of the preparation she actually lost her breath for a second, her eyes rolled back and her mouth opened and hung agape for a few moments. I swear to God – it was like something out of When Harry Met Sally .“Jesus,” I said, “get me one of those!”

So ja, that chick in the pic is not Justine, but she just wants to show you how mnandi that burger is. And she’s not even eating the Dreamy Burger – she’s eating another one and she is still close to having a double orgasm.

Oh my God – you said “orgasm!”

Go get your very own – in fact get 2 for the price of 1 – Mondays to Thursdays between the hours 12:30 – 22:00.

That said, if you have a burger for breakfast, you won’t get 2 for 1.

Which is fair enough.

They have an egg special, actually.

Not really – they don’t.

Let’s just stick to burger chat for now – ok?
