Getting Your Driver’s License Soon? Make Sure You Read This
01 Aug 2012 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I have a gentleman from Malawi on my staff team. He picked up where Mavis left off, and we’ve never looked back. Having expressed a keen interest in the gourmet arts, Alexander has now completed a cooking course and even had lessons with Evan Faull from Knead bakery. Needless to say we don’t buy bread [...]

Mavis: Just One Of The Boys
20 Jun 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
I’ve been drinking Campari and soda for most of the day and I’m about to switch over to Jack Daniel‘s – which is more than enough reason to tell you about a recent encounter I had with everyone’s favourite domestic executive, Mavis. This happened shortly before I left Cape Town for my annual June stay [...]

Mavis Has Met Her Match
21 Apr 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
One of 2oceansvibe’s most beloved characters, Mavis, might need to raise her game. Her deep burning desire to kill me, by way of complex mind-games, is well documented on these hallowed pages. But it seems as though she has nothing on the Malawian Domestic Executive who works for a friend of a friend. They sent [...]

MAVIS DABBLES IN SHUTTLECOCK TRADE
22 Sep 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’ll just begin by saying that Sportsmans Warehouse in Rondebosch has some spotless individuals working for them. My goodness, what a treat that was! We’re off to the Karoo this weekend, you see. Naturally we won’t be slumming it and thought it a top idea to indulge in a classic colonial pasttime – badminton. Turns [...]

MAVIS GETS SOME STIFF COMPETITION
25 Aug 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
While Mavis has been admittedly quiet, it seems some other domestic executives are trying to take her position in the hilarious notes stakes. This, sent in by 2oceansviber, Hanneli: Absolute GOLD! If only she had the good sense to request Puma, I would have hooked her up! Good luck with that, Hanneli. Let us know [...]

I JUST DON’T BELIEVE YOU, MAVIS
25 Nov 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 26 Comments
And the bullshit continues, coming to you LIVE from The Safe House. As most of you will know, my domestic executive, Mavis, doesn’t have the most stressful job in the world and if anyone was living the holiday, it’s her. We have a note pad in one of the spare bedrooms with a pen next [...]

MAVIS BUSTED FOR HOLIDAY HOUSE
20 Aug 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 8 Comments
Whilst Mavis’s scores of fans frown upon me for my accusations, including the belief that she is laundering money (using our zero-payback loan scheme she devised) and selling off my household items to afford her secret life of luxury and extravagance, it seems I am getting closer to the sweet vindication I have craved for [...]

MAVIS LEADS ME TO “PLUSH” (BOUTIQUE) CAPE TOWN CAR WASH
29 Jul 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 11 Comments
She’s been very quiet, old Mavis and her rabid fan base out there will be pleased to see her featured here again. This actually happened before I went to South of France in June, but the story only came full circle when I was back in Cape Town a couple weeks ago; this article being [...]

MAVIS GIVES WOOLWORTHS EARTH FRIENDLY RANGE THE GO AHEAD
14 Oct 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Mavis doesn’t ask for things, or make requests – she makes announcements (usually connected to things she has seen on TV). Anytime. Any place. Like last week when I was minding my own business in The Safe House, putting the finishing touches to some lyrics I was writing for Aerosmith. She walked into the lounged [...]

THE RETURN OF MAVIS
16 Jul 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’ve had like half a joint and two whiskey’s, trying to get into character to write about Mavis. A number of 2oceansvibe readers have come up to me in public (no problem) and commented on how much they luuurve Mavis, so I was trying to remember the angle that I would normally take when writing [...]
