Steady and The Film Guy shot this little vid for Sloggi Underwear. They sent it with the caption, “though you might enjoy.” THOUGHT? MIGHT? Give me a break – you should’ve just written “You love this – FACT” before I had even seen it. And that lovely blonde lass in the video? Wow – very […]

I must apologise to the overseas readers for lack of content today. It’s a public holiday here in South Africa, you see. Heritage Day to be precise! Or, more to the point, Braai Day! This is where I am. At ‘Hunter’s Moon’ in the Karoo. Pretty kak, I know!

Those of us who have lived, or are currently living in the UK, will have seen scenes like these. On an almost daily basis, I might add. Freaks are not hard to come by in London or any big first world city, for that matter. Jonty Fisher just came back from New York and says […]
Not the worst thing to be called – ‘Maverick,’ is it? I’m absolutely fine with it, truth be told. ‘Elegantly Wasted?’ – hey, I can work with that too. We’re big INXS fans here at 2oceansvibe anyway. What a dick (download 2-page PDF here) You know, it’s funny, that shoot took about 20 minutes. Reason […]
My God but the internet is on form today. It delivered unto me an email from Devon someone or other, to do with “hipster bashing.” Well, well, well, I thought to myself. What do we have here? I gave it a whirl and, JEEPERS HUDDERS, it is something quite special. I’m sure some of it […]
You know at school when you were playing cricket, or tennis, or badminton, or javelin, or whatever, and the coach lent in for a little advice? “Go hard.” That’s what every self-respecting coach tells his charges when the moment demands it. Even if you fail, at least you’ve failed hard. And Marine Taxis have gone […]
A national hero For breakfast, it’s steak porridge. For lunch, it’s steak. Around 3pm it’s a blended steak meal replacement. For dinner, it’s steak, with a side of biltong. We could be talking of no other than South Africa’s freshest Guinness World Record holder, Jan Braai.
Remember that story we ran yesterday about Bob Skinstad’s foundation ‘Bobs For Good’ following through on Julius Malema’s broken promise? You’ll recall we included an old newspaper article about Malema’s 19-month old promise to the kids and mentioned the fact that the Bobs For Good Foundation had unwittingly made good his lies. We even called […]
Anyone who went the first time will happily confirm it was the greatest party of their lives. Well it’s happening again – and it’s gonna be crazier than ever. Chicks in lumo bikinis and roller-skates are not uncommon at these Kings Of Neon parties (how awesome is that name?). Trust me, it’s off the hizzo! […]
Remember the most hated bakkie in Cape Town? The Big Issue vendor who suffered unwarranted humiliation at the hands of has shown us once again why this country is ultimately worth believing in. Despite initial reports that Florence Godonwana, 36, would lay charges of crimen injuria against the men who threw water on her, she […]
When the news came through that the Bobs for Good Foundation had delivered 282 pairs of shoes to Makanyu Primary school in the rural village of Hampego in Limpopo, I was sure that the school’s name had come up in the press before. So I did a little research and, sure enough, the school HAD […]
We take a break in our schedule to peruse South Africa’s only Victoria’s Secret model, Candice Swanepoel. Fantastic. As you were.. [thanks warren]
On Saturday afternoon, at around 15h30, a group of young men in a white bakkie (that’s a “pick-up” or a “ute” for our foreign readers) called a Big Issue vendor over to their stationary vehicle at a traffic light in central Cape Town. They then allegedly poured acid water all over her, and her wares. […]

The recent four week-long public servant strike taught us two things. Firstly, government is tight with its money, and not in the “tight-thrifty” way. Secondly, and more importantly, we’re a nation of dancers. Truly, you can say what you like about who has the moral high ground in this dog show, but you absolutely cannot […]
Just a quick one to the people out there who are just learning about calendar invites on their computers. You know, the function in Outlook (on PCs) and Entourage/Mail (on Macs) that let’s you create an appointment in your calendar, with an invite that sends to other people involved in that meeting. Thing is this, […]

Woah! I was more than over-the-moon when this little video appeared in my inbox. I have no idea if it is purely on the web or if it’s on TV as well, but one thing is for sure, it’s RED HOT! Check out this ad for Woolworths Distraction Lingerie: Well done, Woolies – now you’re […]
Yawn.. It’s not altogether surprising that the Cape Royale hotel has nailed another World Luxury Hotel award – they are, after all, a 2oceansvibe Partner and winning awards for excellence is pretty much standard around here. And I’m not talking about the standards the hotel has set when it comes to “boutique fully-serviced hotel’ living, […]
This was just MMS’d to me by The Advertiser, who took this pic on his phone, somewhere in Venice Beach. No-one bats an eyelid at stuff like this around Los Angeles – it’s completely normal! ‘Awesome’ doesn’t even begin to describe it. I mean, seriously, there is so much to talk about. The tassels. The […]
Wow, and there I was thinking we were confused! With our London taxis on the roads and people singing Ole Ole at the sports stadiums, we certainly are a melting pot of cultures and have become professionals at ‘borrowing’ foreign nation’s ideas, pastimes and even sayings. Not that there is anything wrong with that – […]
RetailEstateWeb just released the results of its annual property value survey, with some fairly interesting results. For a start, it’s obvious that The Fairest Remains just that, with seven out of the nations ten most valuable suburbs. Not shabby, hey? Perhaps I’m new to the property game, but my question is: Is a pad in […]

We’ve had a pretty shit-hot record at backing the right horse/s and we’re not gonna risk that track record for anything. That’s why we are so […]
Big John interviewed Paul Raphaely from NoMU yesterday on 567 Cape Talk Radio, as they discussed NoMU’s nomination in the 567 Cape Talk Small Business awards! While that’s all very cool! And I think even more cool is the fact that Paul revealed how exactly NoMU got its name! Very funny story! I managed […]
Anyone who knows anything about anything in Cape Town will know that &Union, Jack Black and The Neighbourgoods Market are three of the most fun, hip, and cool brands in Cape Town. And it’s not just about the brands – it’s about the people. As with most things/brand/products/people that 2oceansvibe deals with, they aren’t dicks […]
It’s been a while since we caught up with South Africa’s only Victoria’s Secret supermodel, Candice Swanepoel. And once again we are reminded why, in fact, we like her so much. The answer is simple – It’s mainly because there is no quibbling with her. She just gets on with it. Like in the picture […]

China is suffering under the weight of a societal malaise. And this time it’s not due to the influence of the Great Western Devil. In the sweltering heat of summer, when the refreshing breezes desert the city, Hu Lianqun absent-mindedly reaches for a solution: He rolls up his shirt to expose his belly, often fanning […]
