Café Caprice is mixing it up on Friday nights by offering you any tapas of your choice for HALF PRICE! That’s a good special – the kind of thing you’d find at www.nobucks.co.za I can recall the Caprice menu from memory pretty much verbatim and would like to tell you my usual tapas choices. Very […]

Oh you missed it? No problem – here it is right here. Morgan Freeman and Matt […]

If you watch and enjoy/hate Top Gear with Jeremy Clarkson, you’ll LOVE this clip. It’s with Harry Enfield and the gang as they take Jeremy Clarkson’s character traits and vibe to the very limit. This is genuine quality. Aaah, God – that was great! [thanks michael]

A 2oceansviber stopped at the BP garage in Sea Point the other night and looked up to see this sign looming over the forecourt. It seems that part of the sign was out, making the vibe even more questionable than before! Not sure this is the type of thing we want to encourage on […]

Well it’s all just so warm and fluffy at the moment. The email and comment responses to the “ANOTHER 2OCEANSVIBER CHOOSES TO LIVE THE HOLIDAY” article a few days back pays further homage to our mantra, Work is a sideline, live the holiday. This, from Misha C, an ex-pat 2oceansviber based in the UK. […]
Mother dearest is in Cape Town at the mo and, as you can imagine, required high levels of attention at all times prior to my Los Angeles departure – including daily shopping expeditions, lunches and dinners. Between finding time to write for you and my waistline, I needed to find some time without offending her. […]
We pause for a second to peruse Avril Lavigne, spotted on a yacht in the last week or so – somewhere in St. Tropez. I must be honest, I’ve always had a soft spot for Avril. And that was before she started doing things like that. Although I am concerned at how her body […]
Scroll down slowly. Just take it in. Let it come to you. It’s in another league. The same league as this guy: I know – there’s not much more that you can ask of me. [thanks jonty]
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 […]
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 […]

Hey Seth I was cruising around the Putney Sainsburys yesterday, pretty idle thursday, nothing crazy, when I turned a corner into the bread aisle and got hit with this.. Justin […]
The Spar on Kloof, which is famous for its loose Russians (here) is now diversifying even further into the realm of hilariousness with their latest product line – Ass Rolls.. (Thanks Delamaine) Very interesting vibe they’re going for there. It’s ironic that corbohydrates are usually blamed for the extra weight people put on in […]
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
