Every new year a group of us has great fun forwarding and swapping SMSs with each other. You know the ones I’m talking about – “May you and your loved ones have blessed New Year and blah blah blah.” It is a very weird practice, but more-so because the wording is so unnaturally elaborate – […]

CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS TO THE QUEEN’S PLATE I find it somewhat amusing that people are already talking about plans for New Year, and yet they neglect to discuss the event which comes just after New Year, every year.

2oceansVibe has had a long-standing connection with “The Kom” – which is probably the reason why we feel safe when walking around the area, wearing clothes and behaving in a way that is foreign to its local inhabitants. We’ve also got life-long honorary membership and protection from the KSI (Kom Skom International), which doesn’t hurt. […]
Up until now, motives for Peter Roebuck’s apparent suicide have remained a mystery. Apart from his journalism career, Roebuck was also involved with the cricket coaching of teenage boys. The incident happened immediately after two policemen came see him about a case of sexual assault.
Looks like the only bottles in da club for Lil Weezy will be the ones filled with mineral water. Following his recent conviction for drug possession, the rapper isn’t allowed to consume alcohol or associate with anyone knowingly engaged in narcotics – good luck. Let’s see if he can last longer than (Camps Bay) “twenty minutes my broda”.

There’s been a lot of hype surrounding the upcoming Kings of Leon gig. Earlier in the year, fans were disappointed to hear that they would have to wait until November, due to drummer Nathan Followill’s bicep injury. Then came the debate over who would open for the Kings. Well the wait is over. And it’s […]
Because, as it happens, the gig is planned for October 8, which also happens to be Yom Kippur – the Jewish Day of Atonement. This of course means that observant Jews will be engaged in a 25-hour period of intensive fasting at roughly the same point that Chris Martin breathlessly proclaims his love for Africa from the stage.
