DISKI WORLD CUP DANCE LOOKS PRETTY COOL
At first I thought it was an ad for Kika-Sack balls, but then realised that they have created some kind of world cup dance. Like the Macarena, except impossible for anyone over 50 to join in. Pretty rad. I might need to practice those moves. Who knows – maybe there will be another […]

I get a lot of stuff from the 2oceansvibers out there – stories and pics of things happening around Cape Town and earth in general. Car crashes, fires, funny people, funny things – stuff like that. Some I use, some I bin. You see, I only like the good stuff. An example of the good […]

K-FED MAINTAINS
In some African cultures, the size of a man’s stomach is indicative of his wealth. In this case, Kevin Federline is in the league of Onassis. I think Kevin ate most of them “Aaah, I see life is treating you well!”
JEREMY CLARKSON ISLAND
If you watch and enjoy/hate Top Gear with Jeremy Clarkson, you’ll LOVE this clip. It’s with Harry Enfield and the gang as they take Jeremy Clarkson’s character traits and vibe to the very limit. This is genuine quality. Aaah, God – that was great! [thanks michael]

QUESTIONABLE SEA POINT SIGNAGE
A 2oceansviber stopped at the BP garage in Sea Point the other night and looked up to see this sign looming over the forecourt. It seems that part of the sign was out, making the vibe even more questionable than before! Not sure this is the type of thing we want to encourage on […]

THE ESPY AWARDS, NELSON MANDELA VIBE

MOTHER INDULGES IN CAPE ROYALE SPA DELIGHTS
Mother dearest is in Cape Town at the mo and, as you can imagine, required high levels of attention at all times prior to my Los Angeles departure – including daily shopping expeditions, lunches and dinners.

AVRIL LAVIGNE TIME
We pause for a second to peruse Avril Lavigne, spotted on a yacht in the last week or so – somewhere in St. Tropez. I must be honest, I’ve always had a soft spot for Avril. And that was before she started doing things like that. Although I am concerned at how her body […]
