My New Veldskoen – Don’t Be Alarmed

Mpumalanga Traffic Cop Allegedly Beats Son’s Teachers, Gets A Warning

Probably The Most Important Thing You Will Read This Month

2oceansvibe had to turn down business from two different brands this last week. A lot of the haters out there don’t realise that. They don’t think it happens. It does. Constantly. That is why the lovers keep coming back here – because any exposure for any brand is genuine and they don’t mind the advertising. […]

How Not To Win Elections #435 – Campaigning At Funerals

You have to give this guy some credit for thinking out of the box – posters tied to lamp posts are getting old. But choosing a funeral to tell everyone to vote for the ANC is just plain wrong. Especially if the woman in the front row just lost her husband and seven-year-old triplets all in one go.

The Vibe Party 2011 – Tickets 70% Sold Out

45% Off At V&A Puma On Tuesday 23rd!

One of the advantages of being in the Puma ‘stable’ is they do sometimes make the mistake of letting me invite my friends to shop for nearly half price.

TOAST – RIGHT NEXT TO THE HEN’S TEETH

KAHN FROM THE PARLOTONES RESPONDS

Today brought a multi-coloured shit-storm in the form of an article written on 2oceansvibe to do with the possibly confusing music video made by SA band The Parlotones.

DID SOMEONE SAY “WINTER?”

Very strange behaviour, if you did. I’ll tell you why. You see this morning I tried something new – I went for a 5km run. Which is weird, given that I’m known as a 4km specialist. It’s true, people often refer to me as “The Four Kay Specialist.” It’s either that, or they call me […]

A PRIVATE TRIBUTE TO ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

I did the right thing and bought a pair of the limited edition Alexander Mcqueen Puma’s the other day and they’re basically incredible. Have you ever wanted a pair of shoes inside your body more?

PHOTOS FROM “THE VIBE” PARTY

It’s quite fortunate that one doesn’t have to think too clearly when dealing with photographs, because my head is not in the correct space to entertain thought. For example these pics.

MY PRESIDENT’S A PIMP

“Not bad, not bad at all..” That’s what I said to myself as I watched this little music video by a local band, based in Mpumalanga. Their explicit song about Jacob Zuma starts off: “My prezident’s a pimp, without the pink suit, with an appetite to take a bite out of the forbidden fruit.” The […]

GOOGLE RANKINGS IMPROVE FOR ISTORE CORE ARTICLE

As with many other 2oceansvibe articles which rank well in Google, it is interesting to note that our old article about the iStore and Core not caring for your business is not only number 1 in Google for the search phrase “waterfront istore,” but also the far more broader search phrase, “cape town istore .” […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: The Book of Eli (2010)

I know I’m stating the obvious here, but Denzel Washington is not Mr. T.

THE PUMA VALENTINES DAY CARD IS TOO AWESOME

God knows how much money Puma had to pay these football hooligans to sing a “poofter” song, but whatever the case it came out bloody brilliantly! You’ll recall the 1997 Billboard #1 hit song called Truly Madly Deeply by Australian Group Savage Garden. So take that song, but get it sung in the same way […]

GOOD MORNING, HEADLINES – TUESDAY!

Miranda Kerr – gone.. Miranda Kerr is Crouch, Hold, Engaged – One wonders why these are called “good” morning headlines, when we are dealing with such atrocities.

SETH RUNS THE TWO OCEANS “MARATHON”

My skill-set is widely discussed and it’s a given that long-distance running comes as easy to me as horse whispering.

LET ME GOOGLE THAT FOR YOU

Sports Wrap with Chowgaps 3 + TV Times

Whoever said soccer was boring was obviously smoking something grown in my aged neighbour’s ceiling. In fact, I would go as far as to say that I’ve never before been so entertained by a sport than in this past week.
