MICHAEL SCHUMACHER RETURNS TO FORMULA 1
You’ll recall the article and video I gave you a few days ago, of Formula 1 racing driver, Felipe Massa’s accident after being hit in the head by a flying car part (here ). He nearly died but is injured and unable to continue racing in the foreseeable future. That’s all very well, but the […]

RENAULT CLIO IN THE AIR AFTER HITTING PALM TREE
Quite hectique. A Renault Clio cleaned a palm tree in Buitenkant Street, Cape Town, last night. Car accidents aren’t our favourite topic here on 2oceansvibe, but a car ending up in this position is not something you see everyday. [source:facebook] Aerial ViewSource: Riaan vdw Apparently another car cleaned the Carlucci’s in town. Not […]
CAR DEALERSHIP USING MICHAEL JACKSON TO SELL CARS
Well this is certainly one for the books! Please enjoy this ad which was found in a recent issue of South Africa’s Autotrader Magazine. AWilliams Hunt used car dealership seems to be taking the art of used car sales to the next level. I think they meant “Our Prices are AS good as the […]
TOETER SKOETER
Wow. It’s a “classic” Afrikaans song by a guy called Nic Stevens called “Toeter Skoeter” and is basically about a guy with a hooter on his water scooter (ie jetski). Whilst minimal command of the Afrikaans language does help when watching this, it isn’t entirely necessary as the visuals are enough to kill you on […]
IN LOS ANGELES, COMPLETE FABRICATION IS TOLERATED
Here in Los Angeles, the heart of La-la-land, anything is possible. There is a saying I made up many years ago, which Murray Walker stole from me and it goes like this: Anything can happen in Los Angeles, and it usually does! Take, for example, the tabloid magazines. Now, it’s one thing reading the likes […]
8 GIRLS NEEDED FOR GOLDFISH MUSIC VIDEO

EVER FELT BORED AT KFC?
I’m not quite sure what to make of this. But it seems a lot of fun can be had with the Colonel once you’ve deboned and eaten your “chicken” at KFC. He can be quite sporty, if need be.. The Colonel slam dunks Shiver me timbers! Is that a toilet brush? Made […]
MEGA SHARK VS GIANT OCTOPUS

MUGABE’S GOVERNMENT DUPED INTO “DIESEL FROM A ROCK” SCAM
To actually believe in the concept of someone tapping diesel fuel from a rock is one thing, but to actually be conned into funding the person…. well, that’s just another story altogether. It happened to Rubert Mugabe’s government, funnily enough. You will not believe this! Actually, you probably will.. This, from News24: […]

THE VENICE BEACH SKATEBOARD GUY
I’ve just arrived in Los Angeles for that Pauly Shore vibe after two weeks back home in Cape Town staying at the Cape Royale . It was a wonderful, yet chilly two weeks, following that month in the South of France , so it’s good to get back into summer. It’s pretty much tradition for […]
DRINKING OUT OF CUPS
The Advertising Guy is shooting a TV show this week in L.A. with Dan Deacon – a musician from Baltimore with a crazy crazy mind. So crazy that he was once recorded doing an impromptu (enhanced?) monologue and used it in a video with an animated lizard type animal. I dare you to dismiss this […]

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR THE NEW-2OCEANSVIBERS OUT THERE..
Just a quick one, friends. I realised that, because of the amount of stuff on 2oceansvibe in various nooks and crannies, there is clearly a mountain of literature that some of the newbies may have missed. Whoops, that’s my fault – apologies! So think of this post as a quick educational! 2oceansvibe has been going […]
UNITED BREAKS GUITARS
I can relate to this in a big way. Not that I’ve had any airline break anything of mine, but I’ve certainly suffered from general airline crapness. I was chatting to my mother the other day and I told her that some people go through a lifetime of regular air travel and never lose a […]
I’M ON A PLANE
Currently posting this article whilst flying in the air on a plane between New York and Los Angeles. I just wanted you to know that. If you’ve seen the movie “Snakes on a Plane” Then you’ll know what I’m talking about. It’s the same thing, except instead of snakes, it’s got the internet.. […]

I was moonwalking down Kloof Street the other evening when I spotted Hudsons Burger Joint. I had heard about it from Dave (of Caprice fame) and was dying to try it out. Aah, so THAT’s where it was! Hudsons Burger Joint on Kloof.. Pretty siiiick! It’s opposite the Kloof Lifestyle Centre (loads of […]
WIN TICKETS TO WATCH U2 IN DUBLIN ON MONDAY 27 JULY
I’ve just had a look around and there aren’t MANY South African publications out there offering double tickets to watch U2 in their hometown of Dublin on Monday. Obviously those publications just don’t care about you as much as I do. What a pity. Well that’s why you’re here, right? Right! Recent articles on 2oceansvibe […]
SKINSTAD GIVES US A TRI NATIONS HEADS UP
Bob Skinstad, The Character Formerly Known As The Loose Forward, finally got back to me on the eve of my departure to Los Angeles. You see, I arrive there on the first weekend of the Tri Nations (that SA are playing) and wouldn’t know WHERE to start, in terms of finding a venue to watch. […]

SETH HEADS OFF TO LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – FOR PAULY SHORE’S “ADOPTED” VIBE
Hey gang, I’m sorry to do this to you, but daddy is going away for a little bit. I know you must be scared, but just realise that it is very necessary as it will bring me us one step closer to global domination. You know how busy daddy gets. I will be gone for […]
WHY MEDIA PLACEMENT IS SO IMPORTANT
Our non-ex-pat readers on the continent and beyond may well appreciate a translation. The headline for the article to the top-left of the meat advert is to do with a worker who died after falling into a “meat machine.” Nice. Very mellow. Hey! Look at those lamb chops for only 28 bucks!! Are they […]
MIRANDA KERR INTERRUPTS THIS PROGRAMME
I’ve got something here I just want you to have a look at. It’s just something I found. Just have a quick look, if you might. Ja, so that’s Miranda Kerr. You might remember her – we featured her here and here (Pirelli). We’ll pretend just for a moment that she is not […]
AFTER ALL OF THAT
For those of you who read and got involved in the comments section (some more than others) of my “HARBOUR EDGE KNEE JERK” article yesterday, I thought you might enjoy this. I was in that same underground parking garage this morning and it is interesting to note the vehicle whose parking place I mistakingly took […]
