I wrote an article over a year ago about my experience at Mombasa Cafe , Cavendish Square, Claremont, Cape Town. I was moaning about the convenient joys of them being constantly empty, as well as the fact tat they did not serve Tabasco sauce (a big “no-no” as we know).

Mombasa Cafe – Cavendish Square

An excerpt from the article which I wrote LIVE, on location:

Not that I was going to judge them for being empty. The only waiter in the establishment welcomed me as I chose a seat, suggesting he brings me a lime and soda with the menu.

I opened up my divine little Sony Vaio laptop as the drink arrived.

My SHOCKING toasted chicken mayonnaise experience at the Kelvin Grove pool on Friday (where I chilled before getting ready to watch Rupert Mellor and the Thunderbirds in the Kelvin Grove ballroom) had left me yearning for a decent variation, so I gave my order to the waiter.

“Toasted chicken mayo on wholewheat please with chips. Please also bring some cheap white vinegar, Tabasco sauce and a Hansa.” (They didn’t have Jack Black).

“We don’t have Tabasco sauce,” came the reply.

“Chrrrrrist, are you fucking serious?”

“Yes Sir”

“Must I go and buy some for you?” I asked.

“Heh heh,” he laughed nervously. “Can we make you some fresh chilli?”

“Yes,” I said. “I won’t use it but I want you to make it as punishment.”

Off he went to put in the order, as I decided to write this article. The beer never arrived as our boy fucked off out of the restaurant for over 10 minutes. I kept an eye on the bar to see when the beer would appear so that I could fetch it myself.

Freak Show came back and I asked him how the beer was looking. “Oh shit” came the reply as he sprinted to the till, realising he had forgotten to put the beer order in. Bearing in mind that I was and STILL AM the only person in the restaurant. WHAT a fucking knob-end!

He brought the beer and the food which was fine, I suppose.

Whilst I was eating I heard a discussion between him and the barman where he mentioned, somewhat surprised, that La Scala and MOST of the other restaurants in Cavendish Square were full.

Yes, my love, they are full.

And I am still the only person in your restaurant.

I wonder why.

I’m not saying the reason is because you don’t have Tabasco sauce – but I’m quite sure it’s helping your quest for zero turnover.

Good bye.

And now, more than a year later, the owners of the establishment GOOGLED their restaurant and found the aforementioned article.

So, firstly, a big welcome for the owners to 2009 and the internet in general. Welcome aboard!

This was their belated email response which came in this weekend (CAPS LOCK ATTACK warning):

I’ll be back…in the evening.

I just need to confirm that you definitely have Tabasco sauce? As well as the 2oceansvibe beverages of choice: including De Grendel wine, Jack Black beer, Boschendal Grande Cuvee Brut and Pussy Natural Energy Drink?

Please respond via the comments facility below this article.

It’s with great ease that they do, because Boschendal Grande Cuvee Brut (lest we forget the Le Grand Pavillon Brut Rosé) has very recently become the sparkling wine of choice for 2oceansvibe. Hardened 2oceansvibers out there will know what it takes to get the nod as a 2oceansvibe brand and, make no mistake, this premium Franschhoek outfit has paid their dues.

It’s won’t be long until you’ll find it at all your favourite 2oceansvibe hangouts, including Caprice, Miss K, 1800 Restaurant, Cape Royale Hotel, HQ Restaurant and Caveau.

Boschendal Grande Cuvee Brut
Now being served at The Safe House

Boschendal Grande Cuvee Brut – the 2oceansvibe Sparkling Wine of choice.

The Methode Cap Classique of choice, I might add!

I’ll be honest, The Muse and I klapped a bottle each on Sunday and I must say it goes VERY well with the Atlantic Seaboard. In fact, it goes very well with the entire weekend. It went well with the post-Clifton-tanning-session Sunday Times hour , as well as the vinyl player interlude, featuring Barry and Barbs.. Yes, it seems to adapt very well.

But you would have known that anyway, if you were following the 2oceansvibe Twitter feed, as well as the 2oceansvibe Flickr feed..

For the more serious bubbly drinkers out there, you can CLICK HERE to download the Boschendal Grande Cuvee Brut cheat sheet (PDF) which will answer all those questions you might be asking. Questions that I cannot answer. All I know is it tastes great and everyone I drink it with thinks the same!

Then, when you’re done there, take a stroll down to their website and see what it takes to become the official 2oceansvibe bubbly – www.boschendalwines.com

I think a massive round of applause is due for the 2oceansvibe Weathergirls featured in this year’s highly anticipated Sports Illustrated SWIMWEAR EDITION – including Elbe van der Merwe, Lyndall Jarvis and Genevieve Morton!

But there could only be one cover girl, and, although she has not yet been a 2oceansvibe Weather Girl, this year the prestigious accolade went to former Romanian high jumper, Catrinel Menghia..

Catrinel Menghia
Very kak  

I went to the launch party at HQ in Cape Town on Thursday (hosted by 2oceansvibe Character and 94.5FM DJ (3pm to 7pm drive show), Richard Hardiman (”Harders“).

It should be noted at this point that we ran into eTV weather man, Derek van Dam and it’s pretty much a FACT that he will be a 2oceansvibe Weathergirl in the near future.

Anyway, check out this release:

The most anticipated magazine promotion of the year, the Sports Illustrated Swimwear Edition 2009 hits shelves on the 19th October 2009 amidst much hype and fanfare.

At an exclusive party held at HQ in Cape Town on Thursday 15th October, former Romanian high jumper, Catrinel Menghia was revealed as the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimwear cover model.

This stunning, internationally sought-after beauty was just 16 years old when she was discovered walking out of the athletics stadium in her hometown of Lasi, Romania. Since then, Catrinel has travelled the world modeling for major fashion houses, such as Giorgio Armani. She has featured as a Peroni girl and has graced the pages of many world-renowned magazines. The 24-year-old showcases some of this summer’s hottest bikinis in what has to be one of the sexiest, most stylish and sophisticated SI Swimwear shoots in the magazine’s proud history.

Sports Illustrated and Nashua have set new standards with this year’s offering. Shot on location in exotic Zanzibar, the sizzling 2009 edition features 11 of the world’s sexiest models gracing 144 pages of pure paradise. This year’s hotties include:

New Guess face – Candice Boucher
The ever-popular Swimwear models – Dominique Piek and Genevieve Morton
Wonderbra extraordinaire – Elbe van der Merwe
Blonde Eastern European bombshell – Valeria Koryts’ka
And the five Swimwear newbies – Lyndall Jarvis, Shashi Naidoo, Shane van der Westhuizen, Marzaan Kalis and Tanya Manganyi

*Highighted names indicate 2oceansvibe Weather Girls.

Well I tell you what, the prize couldn’t have gone to a better guy!

Arthur Jones, the winner of the Seth Rotherham Experience, moved into my Cape Royale Suite on Friday night for a weekend of top brands and luxury. I popped in to visit him and the gorgeous Jess (turns out Arthur is playing out of his socks!) shortly after they checked in

Arthur Jones’s residence for the weekend.

Hi gang! Hope all is well in the land of joy, sex, money, fast cars, champagne and suntans.

Firstly, I just want to say that I’m still recovering from Friday and most of my voice has returned. Welcome back, voice. Thanks again to the peeps at Olmeca Black Tequila, Goldfish, Top Billing and Pussy Energy Drink for making it all so special. Aww shucks, YOU GUYS!!!

Keep an eye out on 2oceansvibe for the video of that event. As well as the 2oceansvibe Show and WeatherGirls coming out later this week, featuring our guests, Goldfish and WeatherGirl (and Wonderbra girl), the outrageously hot Elbe van der Merwe. Perhaps I should remind you of who she is?

Try these out for size (click pics for higher res images):

Shame, why do I always have to give you such kak WeatherGirls? You really are quite deprived, aren’t you? Just you WAIT until you see Elbe doing the weather report – my God!

So anyway, back to the other things I was meant to tell you.

Ok, I’ve thought of a new word. That’s right my friends. You will recall some of the great cool sayings, phrases, words and handshakes I’ve been giving you over the years, including such classics as “water off a duck’s back” and “mind over matter.” Well, I’ve gone and done it again! Enjoy this..

You know what a “cougar” is, right?

UrbanDictionary tells us:

An older woman who frequents clubs in order to score with a much younger man. The cougar can be anyone from an overly surgically altered wind tunnel victim, to an absolute sad and bloated old horn-meister, to a real hottie or milf. Cougars are gaining in popularity — particularly the true hotties — as young men find not only a sexual high, but many times a chick with her shit together.

Ja, well, I’ve come up with a word for the gay male equivalent of a cougar. You know, a slick older grey-haired hot gay guy in his fifties, who hangs out at bars and preys on younger cute gay guys who will enjoy his mansion and sports car.

You ready for it?

You sure you ready for the new word for the gay male version of a cougar?

Here it is : “Poogar”

See what I did there?

Use it, don’t use it (also mine).

Hope everyone is having a stunning Monday!

What I’ve done here is fairly magical. I’m giving you the chance to win $101 million in the Euro Millions Lottery, and, if you don’t win that, you will have a fairly good chance of winning one of the biggest prizes we have ever featured on 2oceansvibe. It’s called THE SETH ROTHERHAM EXPERIENCE .

I’ve been toying with this Pussy Natural Energy Drink for a while. You’ll remember the first mention of the energy drink was in one of the 2oceansvibe Weather Girls shows with the smoking hot Genevieve Morton (here and here). You see, the guys at Pussy (www.pussydrinks.com) were trying to get me to drink it for a while and I finally gave in, because I thought it would make for some spicy content on the show. They sent me some. It did.

Initially apprehensive about the product, I did some thinking, and you know what, it’s not even rude. The only reason we think it might be rude is because of the somewhat vulgar South African Afrikaans word, “p*es” which refers to a woman’s what-what. Whereas, everywhere else in the world, the word pussy is actually cute and playful. It is often used in general conversation (”don’t be a sour puss” and “pussy cat” come to mind) and even movies (James Bond – Pussy Galore), so any reservations with regard to the name are pretty pathetic. Rather, as I said in the interview with Genevieve, it should be used in a playful manner. Ordering a vodka Pussy at the bar, for example, is nothing but fun! there is even a vodka out there called “Exquisite” – now put those two together.

Try it out – seriously – I enjoy that vibe.

Jammo Blunt
Enjoys Pussy..

But that’s not the only reason I dig it now. After they gave me those freebies, I started drinking it and I’ll be honest, I dig the stuff. It’s 100% natural (even has milk thistle in it – good for one’s liver and all that) and tastes nothing like its competitors. It’s pleasant and not as arresting. Personally, the other stuff gives me headaches and super-sensitive teeth. Not with this stuff.

A Bentley with Pussy on it
We like Bentleys..

You might have spotted the MTV logo on the can above. That’s right – it’s endorsed by MTV. That’s cool, right? I’ll say! The drink is affiliated to MTV’s Staying Alive foundation (www.staying-alive.org) and a percentage of all sales go straight to HIV-related initiatives, run by that very foundation. Pretty cool vibe.

So there you go, I’m gonna give this stuff the go ahead. We’ve already got it into Caprice and HQ and Caveau and it’s rolling out in loads of other places.

Oh, it’s also right here next to me – poolside at The Standard hotel on Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood , Los Angeles, California. You’ll also see it featured in part 3 and 4 of the 2oceansvibe Pauly Shore Zinzi Series during the interviews (here – part 3 comes out at 3pm today).

Pussy – spotted in Los Angeles

What do you call this then?
Spotted next to the pool..
Thought you might appreciate it..

Give it a bash – you’ll be glad you did.

I visited HQ (Headquarters) Restaurant twice last week. Serving just one kind of salad and one kind of steak, I enjoy on the simplicity of the experience. And so does the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) it seems!

HQ Restaurant

On my second visit last week I ran into Matt, who, slightly out of breath, said, “Seth, oh my God, I JUST emailed you a TBG sighting ! He was HERE last night bru. HERE – IN HQ!!! The place was going nuts!! People weren’t sure how to contain themselves!” I took Matt to one of the sofa’s and got him a glass of water, as he calmed down.

He said they didn’t get a good shot, but the great man’s ever-present aura was very apparent. I finished my meal as quick as I could to get to my laptop to indulge in the finer details of this, the second sighting (how can we forget Skinstad’s treasured TBG sighting here) in just a fortnight.

Here it is:

It is always tricky for a standard camera
to record the TBG’s aura without destroying
the entire photograph.

 

Seth,

As you know i have run many fine establishments in Cape Town… and never in my life have i ever been tackled by one of my pretty little ‘angels’ that work for me.

I finally found my feet, took a moment or two to gather my thoughts…..and started yelling at her….. I wasn’t quite sure what was going on..

I thought to myself ‘did i possibly take her home and not call her the next day???? – the only logical explanation. Not quite sure what was happening i popped the question “why exactly did u tackle me?”

She said “isn’t it obvious?” i replied “no my angel, fill me in…”

She said, ‘the TBG is there and i need u to take a pic!’

I was stunned….how could i not have picked it up earlier…. That blinding white aura that just oozes greatness!!!

The vibe in HQ was so intense i cant even explain…. Everyone at their tables turned around, there was a sudden hush in the bar, and his aura even outshone the fire place!

It came time to take the pic….. i took about ten….. but his aura was too bright…. all i got was flashes of white light…

I let him chill out and he had the amazing HQ Sirloin (and a few Jack Blacks on tap of course…)

I finally managed to snap this pic when he was leaving. The blinding white energy had subsided just enough to get a pic!!!

The TBG with one of HQ’s angels – Carla.

Thanks TBG….u made our night…. and possibly Carla’s life!!!!!

later Seth

Matt

What a wonderful experience. I didn’t realise they had Jack Black Beer at HQ. that’s good to know. With a fireplace at HQ and Jack Black on tap, it seems The TBG is very much living within “The Vibe.” Beautiful stuff. Well done, HQ – that’s quite a drawcard!

If you’ve never been to HQ, seriously, give it a bash. It’s very cool. There is a bar/lounge section, as well as a chill out section with a fireplace. The chow is amazing as well.

Your classic steak Brasserie

It’s good – trust me

The fireplace
That’s what you’ve been looking for

But, more importantly, the rumours persist that The TBG is in London at the moment.

Keep an eye out there, ex pats. You may just get your special moment..
