Are you underpaid, undervalued, and sidelined at work? Are you feeling brave? Then QUIT! QUIT I TELL YOU! Everyone else is striking, why not one-up those public-sector amateurs? But if you’re going to do it, you absolutely have to do it in style, like (yes, we know it’s fake), or this. But writing, photography, and […]
My children, you know that every now and then I like to treat you with helpful hints and tips that will make your lives easier. We’ve already had that conversation about how we don’t make phone calls unless absolutely necessary, right? We text first. Okay? Okay. But some of you came to me recently, with […]
We were chatting about Heather Graham and her “Roller Girl” character from the movie Boogie Nights (starring Mark Wahlberg) the other day on 2oceansvibe Radio and, more to the point, the fact that her parents no longer speak to her. They’re very religious, you see, and apparently that is somehow linked to their disapproval of […]
Unbelievable scenes this last week as the latest wave of TBG (Tall Blonde Guy)hysteria hits Cape Town. The revelation that The TBG was the inspiration for the recent Roger Federer Gillette commercial, really did own topical conversation this last wee. It was only a matter of time before another TBG sighting was made. This time […]
Word is spreading like wildfire through 2oceansvibe headquarters that a British photographer, by the name of Nick Gleis, managed to sneak onto the private jets of a number of Seth’s closest confidants, who also happen to be the steward’s of many of Africa’s most glorious revolutions. These hallowed men include the likes of Bob Mugabe, […]
Usain Bolt – Biggest Deal EVER! Usain Bolt Signs Biggest Athletics Sponsorship Deal EVER With Puma – Usain Bolt has signed the biggest sponsorship deal in athletics history, extending his contract with Puma to 2013 and catapulting the triple world record holder into the kind of financial terrain usually reserved for star footballers. The exact […]
Singapore – Doesn’t suck We’re already living in a global village. So the idea of national borders is becoming increasingly strained. Gallup has released data describing where in this big village respondents would re-locate if exorbitant costs (i.e. Visas and travel fees) and international borders weren’t part of the process. “Sulplise!” Most people said they’d […]
My God, when we announced the Boschendal Cooling Towers competition, we didn’t expect anything this world class to appear! We asked you, the 2oceansvibe readers to send your best footage of the Athlone Cooling Towers (or, rather, the “Ladies of Athlone” – a title which I have NEVER heard before) going down last Sunday. Obviously […]
That’s right – you and one other person could be indulging in one of the year’s most anticipated lingerie event! The Cosmopolitan Lingerie Fashion Show – 26 August, 19h30, Upper East Side, Woodstock. You want to be there. You NEED to be there! That’s where you wanna be.. The September cover The Lingerie special – […]
We picked up this video on PopYaCollar, featuring La Muse backstage at Cape Town Fashion Week! Check it out: Very cool! And well done to verster-cohen photography for doing the vid!
NOTE: It was “videos” but is now just “video” as we have finally found the best footage possible! By all accounts the live footage of the Athlone Power Station Cooling Towers coming down left a lot to be desired. This was apparently due to the demolition people deciding to blow the towers up 4 minutes […]
Feeling a little bit wonky… When their students aren’t quibbling over gay kissing, UCT and Stellenbosch University are waging beer war. And beer is most certainly worth waging war over. Consider these wise words of wisdom from greater men than I: “You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline […]
The New Mini Takes Internet Radio Quite Seriously The 2011 Mini “Countryman” Takes Internet Radio Quite Seriously – BMW’s Mini brand is getting a little bigger soon, with the Countryman bringing a taller stance and some AWD to the party, but that won’t be the only exciting addition to the mix. The Countryman will be […]
Those of you who are Stellenbosch University Alumni may perhaps remember the annual “Soen in die Laan” (“Kiss in the Lane”) event, at which scores of students clench lips in a moment of heady abandon. Such a lovely Casablanca vibe, hey? Yeah, it is. Except…
It’s not everyday I follow in the footsteps of the 2oceansvibe Weather Girls – but I couldn’t resist the chance to shoot the breeze with Julz, who has previously featured the likes of Cape Town’s very own smoking hot sex kitten, Lyndall Jarvis on her show! And that’s before we even get into Julz herself […]
It’s that time of year again, my friends, as the cream of South Africa’s blogger crop goes head to head for the industry’s highest honour. As a previous winner of the blog awards, 2oceansvibe encourages all blogs, big and small, to get involved *blog owners should click here to get a nomination badge. The 2010 […]
Especially when they can’t get their daily McFix. I love McDonalds for one reason, and one reason only – the name is brilliant for McPuns (right, enough of that). But millions of people the world over express a deep and burning desire to consume their preferred McDonalds product each and every day, as the need […]
We’re pretty blown away by the response to the “Seth Song” we’ve been playing fairly regularly, over at 2oceansvibe Radio. It’s not only a damn funny tune, but I tell you what – it’s got the heads bopping too! Apparently The Assembly lost their minds to it last Saturday! The guys behind the tune are […]
There are only a handful of genuii (first-person masculine plural) who can pull off classified ads that rival that classic Australian BMX ad we featured back in Feb oh niner. A lot of peeps out there try their best but they just don’t get you in the same way – they’re trying too hard. Unlike […]
In this crazy, crazy world of hyper-consumption, brands are putting a lot of emphasis on consumer loyalty. And the best way to nail down consumer loyalty? Get to your consumer before anyone else does. We all know that the combination of Klipdrift brandy and Coke is quite a big deal north of the Vaal. If […]
Maybe you should do the same? Those of you who keep sniffing and touching my shirts, I think it’s time to grow up a bit and get your own. Don’t you think? They’re 100% customised! Give their website a spin. www.collarandcuff.co.za
If the original Top Gear is sex, then Top Gear USA is sex with a dead person. Mechanically speaking, you’re doing the same thing, but it’s wrong, and you should never, ever do it, and society will hate you for it, and you’ll always be remembered as the guy who took something fundamentally awesome and […]
Let me blow your mind: Nandos is in Canada. And no, Brandon Huntley didn’t franchise it. Shocking news, ey? I mean, Nandos must surely be as quintessentially South African as KFC, what with it’s Portuguese name, recipes and store decor. Nevertheless, the great chicken company in the sky is downright universal, making an appearance across […]
Everyone is loving the new “Love the way you lie” track by Eminem, featuring Rihanna. God knows we can’t get enough of it at 2oceansvibe Radio. Well anyways they’ve just released the HD version of the music video and I was just wondering, were you aware that it features Megan Fox? No, neither did I. […]

Some of our parliamentary readers will be aware that yesterday the South African parliament was the scene of a death for the the first time since the the 1966 assassination of one Hendrik Verwoerd, esq. Louisa Phumela Zama, 27, was one of three people in a delegation representing a KwaZulu-Natal Reserve Force unit, the Durban […]
Many moons ago I featured an article about the highest definition photograph ever taken of Cape Town. The resolution was so high that you could zoom in kilometers from where the pic was taken, and check out some angels suntanning on a rooftop deck. No spice – check it out here. With Jack Parow recently […]
So we wrote recently about Gordon Ramsay making an ever so slightly unceremonious exit from Cape Town, and specifically, the One & Only hotel. Needless to say, The Big Bad Potty Mouth and his cronies are slightly upset about this. I mean, it must leave a little bit of a sting to be tossed out […]
Check this Roller with Zim plates and the number “1” spotted in Sandton.. Mugabe? Is that how Bob *ahem* rolls..? I reckon it might be. I love the way it doesn’t need any other digits or letters – as if it is the first car in the world. All it has is a little Zim […]
“Marina Bay Sands” sounds like a fairly generic resort, right? It could be anywhere in the world. It’d be nice, but you know, when you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. Wrong. Infinity pools are as cool as they sound. But a 150 meter long, gently curving arc of water perched on top of a […]
