Sports Wrap with Chowgaps 2 + Tv Times
I’ve always wanted to know what it might be like to be bitten by a hooker. I have, however, never found myself tossing and turning on my Long Staple Egyptian Cotton (grown only on the banks of the Nile), wondering what it might be like to be gnawed at by a lion. Much to his […]
Sports Wrap with Chowgaps 1 + TV Times
It’s always a tough call to look to the bench. It’s even tougher when you’re replacing a legend. Like JP was to Ashwell, like Morne was to Ruan, Chowgaps is to Blades. Blades has always been my inspiration, but to be called up at such late notice to fill one such seasoned professional’s boots is […]

Courtesy of Olmeca Tequila, Pussy Natural Energy Drink, Cape Royale Hotel and 2oceansvibe. What’s more, the only beer being served was Jack Black beer and the only wine was De Grendel Rose. Just because. All the professional behind-the-scenes pics are right here. The boys…the boys! You’ve seen that face somewhere before? The venue – shame.. […]
DESKTOP CLEANUP
It’s that time of the month again. The time I wade through the GARBAGE that you send me and select some true genius pieces of rubbish and publish them here for all to see. Then I can wipe it all off my desktop and start anew. We’ll kick off with this one, which I think […]
Sports Roundup # 7 and TV Times with Blades
I don’t write an article for one week and everything goes to pot. From earthquakes to tsunamis to Roman Polanski being nabbed for a crime he committed 30-odd years ago. The sports gods were obviously seriously miffed about no Sports Roundup last Thursday and this week the entire world has paid the price. But nobody […]
Heritage Day: Blades Granted Day Off (Plus TV Times)
If you’re reading this it means that Seth has given me permission to go and celebrate my heritage. Just know that I go with a heavy heart and an empty bladder- missing a Thursday Roundup absolutely guts me. Through the power of words I am able to convey feelings and emotions that come from the […]
EASTBOUND AND DOWN KENNY POWERS AND ASHLEY SCHAEFFER
My boy Travis gave me the heads up on this one as we downed another glass of De Grendel in Bakoven the other night. It’s too damn funny and I must caution those of you with weak bladders to perhaps relieve yourselves before pressing play. Will Ferrel is in it. That’s all I’m saying. […]
IF YOU’RE USING INTERNET EXPLORER
Hey gang, Just a quick housekeeping notice. I get all sorts of emails regarding 2oceansvibe performance; things to do with big white spaces at the top of the page, errors, timeouts and God knows what else. One thing remains constant every time I ask those readers what browser they’re using – Microsoft Internet Explorer. Bad, […]
ROMAN ABRAMOVICH YACHT “ECLIPSE” HAS LASER SHIELD FOR PAPARAZZI
It’s all getting a bit much with regards to the “optional extras” one can add to one’s superyacht. Just ask Chelsea Football Club owner, Roman Abramovich, whose costs for his new boat, Eclipse, have doubled in the last three years to a cool £724m. That’s R8.7 billion. For a boat. I have no doubt it […]
Sports Roundup and TV Times #6 with ‘Blades’
Life isn’t fair. Whiskey prices are at an all-time high. Women are branded as men. Elton John can’t adopt and Eskom bosses get disgusting bonuses. That’s just the way it is. We have to accept it. What we shouldn’t have to accept, however, is the fact that not a single Proteas name made it onto […]

SETH DISCUSSES PRAWNS WITH VANESSA HAYWOOD ON SET AT ELLE MAGAZINE COVER SHOOT
You should be well aware by now of Vanessa Haywood, the smoking hot leading actress in the globally critically acclaimed, District 9. Seth caught up with Vanessa at her ELLE Magazine cover shoot in Cape Town today. Wait for video to load and check it out: *Slow connections should wait for the box […]
ON SET WITH DISTRICT 9 STAR, VANESSA HAYWOOD
Everyone’s trying to keep it a secret, but it’s pretty difficult to hide the fact that Vanessa Haywood, the star of the biggest movie in the world at the moment, District 9, is in Cape Town. Why is she in Cape Town? Oh…just to quietly shoot the cover of SA Elle Magazine! Now we’re talking! […]
NEWS24 PRINTS THE WORD “CUNT”
Well, I tell you what, it’s a BIG moment for South African media. While 2oceansvibe isn’t shy to throw around the odd “shit” here and the odd “fuck” there, I don’t think we have thrown around the “C” word for a number of years. News24, have obviously decided to up the ante by happily publishing […]
Sports wrap and TV Times #5 with ‘Blades’
It’s amazing how the world of sport ebbs and flows. This time last week I was drunk. Wait, that’s still the same. This time last week I was perched proudly on my soapbox, preaching to the world about Springbok infallibility. I was also quietly optimistic about Bafana’s match up against Deutschland and very confident about […]
SILVIO BURLESCONI – THE ITALIAN PRIME MINISTER – LET’S HAVE THAT CHAT
As a 2oceansviber, you are required to know all about the extremely wealthy Italian Prime Minister and chauvinist (and professional spice master), Silvio Burlesconi . This guy is GREAT to watch! Stay tuned.. Our boy Wiki tells us: Silvio Berlusconi (born 29 September 1936) is an Italian politician, entrepreneur, real estate and […]
“HUNTLEY CONNED ME INTO MARRIAGE”
Sources for this story came from a newspaper. Crime refugee Brandon Huntley’s estranged Canadian wife believes he “suckered” her into marriage in a bid to secure permanent residence in her country. And mother-of-two Melanie Crete-Huntley has reacted with shock to Huntley’s claims to the Canadian Immigration Board that he separated from her – after she […]
THE 2OCEANSVIBE “YOU MAGAZINE” ARTICLE

SHOULD TRADITIONAL MEDIA CREDIT THEIR ONLINE SOURCES?
Traditional media is under the spotlight again today. This, not long after our recent article discussing local traditional advertising agencies and their thirst for awards vs. actually getting their client’s message out and connecting with consumers (here). A large number of you would have first read about Brandon Huntley, the 31 year old white man […]
Sports Wrap # 4 and TV Times with Blades
South Africa is a complicated place. The mind boggles at some of the stuff that goes down here- strikes, senseless killings, corruption and divided politics are things that we, as South Africans, deal with on a daily basis. It has apparently gotten so bad, that certain individuals qualify for refugee status abroad. But watching the […]
JUST JINJER, FLAT STANLEY & AKING LIVE ON SATURDAY
No, I’m not joking. Seriously. Pinch yourself. See? It hurts. I wouldn’t lie to you, my baby. This is real life and it’s real time. See? It’s real! I seriously hope I don’t need to introduce this rabble to you. Because, for me, I feel like I’m stuck in some kind of nativity […]

WHITE MOWBRAY MAN GETS REFUGEE STATUS IN CANADA
White 31 year old, Brandon Huntley, has managed to get as far as he can from the Mowbray mean streets. Canada were happy to take him on. This, from the Ottawa Sun : An Ottawa man has been granted refugee status after an immigration board panel ruled he would be likely be persecuted if […]
JOHN SMIT EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH BLADES + WEEKEND SPORTS TV TIMES
It’s the interview everyone has been waiting for. Springbok captain, John Smit and his merry band of legends have arrived safely in the Netherworld, as they begin their overseas leg of the Tri-Nations tournament. John Smit – killing it [gettyimages] “Blades,” who takes care of the 2oceansvibe Weekly Sports Roudup & TV Times, caught up […]
OVER-AGE POLE DANCING AT CAFE ROUX
I popped into Cafe Roux in Noordhoek the other day. I just love the place (even though they don’t yet stock De Grendel wine) because you never quite know what you’re going to get – be it the patronage and/or the surroundings. Last Sunday, for example, featured what could only be described as “Aladdin’s Grandmother” […]
Sports Roundup + TV Times # 2 with Blades
How anyone can watch soap operas is beyond me. They’re unrealistic and they drag on forever. Marlena on Days of our Lives, for example, spent her life dead, in a coma, kidnapped or possessed by the devil. That’s no way to live! And besides, who needs a soap opera when you have real-life, exciting drama […]
Sports Roundup #1 with “Blades”
Victory, we all know, is sweet at the best of times. Victory against the Wallabies, on the other hand, is similar to three courses of dessert followed by…you guessed it, dessert. Perhaps the only thing better than beating the Aussies at rugby is beating them at cricket, and after two wins against the All Blacks, […]
PUSSY NATURAL ENERGY DRINK – FROM CAPE TOWN TO L.A.
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 […]
MURDOCH’S BOYS GET INVOLVED WITH THE SPRINGBOK VIBE
I trust you caught the article the other day about how Obama unwittingly helped promote the new Rugby World Cup movie, after Nelson Mandela SUDDENLY received an ESPY award for his connection to sport some 15 years ago? Oh you missed it? No problem – here it is right here. Morgan Freeman and Matt […]
