This must be the find of the century! FINALLY, you can keep a beady eye on Cape Town’s traffic situation and possibly change your route and/or timing to suit. Just by going to THIS website. Check this out, taken yesterday at 17h23, as you get onto the N2 next to the entrance to le Waterfront. […]
I am often asked how my friend Billy Zane and I became acquainted – a meeting which resulted in an interview with the Titanic star on one of the 2oceansvibe shows. “Quite simple,” I usually tell them, “Marina took care of the Harley Davidson launch (here ) a few months back and Billy was there.” […]
Again the power of the 2oceansvibe community is on display as we receive no less than THREE separate emails with photographs of the same sign displayed on a shop window in Cape Town’s Blue Routemall. Behold: Spotted on window of a men’s manicure parlour. Blue Route Mall, Cape Town. Look, it’s a bloody nice […]
I received an sms from Caro at My Life Organised a week ago saying, “your appointment at the French Embassy was this morning – I’ll call them later and let you know how it went.” What? Who? Shit, did I miss an appointment to get my Shengen visa for my upcoming overseas trip?We had met […]
Oh dear, it really is a sad state of affairs. We have been reporting the iStore/Core Group saga to you since last week. It began with my personal account of a dismal experience in the Waterfront iStore (here), which ended up with me going next door to Incredible Connection. I then followed up […]
With the comments section of our original Waterfront Apple Mac iStore article closing in on the 100 mark, Core’s non-response seems very much in line with those same comments. And I doubt they aren’t aware of it. When the comments section includes responses from current and ex-employees, as well as the owner of the Claremont […]
Now I’m sure you spotted those Woolworths Mother’s Day ads around 2oceansvibe. Mm, it gave you a fright, didn’t it? Mother’s Day always seems to creep up on me. It’s one of those tricky ones, because it’s not a set date. It’s one of those “second Sunday in the month” vibes. It IS in May, […]
Apart from glorious photo’s and stories about the brave firemen, another concern mentioned on the various blogs and Twitters following the recent Table Mountain fire , was the plight of the wildlife. The SPCA has been involved: Wildlife is the main casualty of the fires on Table Mountain – and the SPCA has had […]
Apparently yesterday was an absolute joke at the Roeland Street Fire Department in Cape Town. Witnesses have confirmed that the support from various Cape Town brands was so overwhelming, they could have “opened a small shop if they wanted.” This, following the radical fires that hit Table Mountain on Wednesday night / Thursday morning. THAT’S […]
Loyal readers will know that 2oceansvibe has been going for seven years now and with that comes a certain level of trust – not only from the readers, but from Google as well. Seth has always maintained his integrity with regards to the brands he works with and if a brand he believes in/uses (paid […]
I’m giving these guys a punt because they were put onto me by a friend and proceeded to totally and utterly blow me away. Everyone knows that the entire 2oceansvibe network has NEVER had a reliable cape town panel beater and I honestly think I’ve struck gold. Sorry, WE’VE struck gold! Ok, I had this […]

It’s no coincidence that the owners of The Roundhouse Restaurant in Camps Bay also own the company that trains the staff at the 5-star Cape Grace Hotel . It is to this end that Fasie Malherbe and his team seem to stop at nothing to ensure you experience service never seen before in any Cape […]
I really wish we had these things in my day in London. My God, we hoarded a lot of crap. I remember carting a life-size Scooby Doo cardboard cut-out from digs to digs, all over London – along with the other crap (larva lamp included). I never did see the irony in boasting that the […]
I don’t know. People say I’m looking thin and I must say I did have had a recent cardiovascular explosion in the gym, combined with an incredibly admirable dietary regime. But that stopped three weeks ago and I’m still riding the “God, you’re looking awesome” wave. But, truth be known, The Muse has reacted of […]
Following a browse of the 2oceansvibe relaunch party photographs, you were probably left in a state of alarm, at the incredibleness (new word – use it) of my tan in the middle of Winter. I’ll be honest. I cheated. I went to the tan can. And not just any tan can – it was the […]
I was once again amused the other night when we went to Chris Rock. The Lawyer and G-Man went with me to the event in my car and attended the VIP after party held at the same venue (Grand West) afterwards. As with most of these VIP after parties, booze was on tap and it […]
I’ve had a Personal Assistant for as long as I can remember. They get switched every now and then – but they are always there. You’ll remember I was recently advertising for a new P.A. – well I found one and she has become The P.A. on the 2oceansvibe Characters page. She replaces the old […]
I recived this gift from Dail-a-Surprize on my birthday and, I’ll be honest, I was pretty fucking impressed. This is premium, high quality stuff. Check out what I got: Quietly enjoy the little dinky bottle of Moet! Very naughty! What was in the box, you ask? Well, OBVIOUSLY it was a brand new 4-year-old Campbodian […]
Well it had to come to South Africa, didn’t it? I mean, it makes sense – cheap pet health insurance for your dog or cat! In South Africa. Why didn’t YOU think of that? How about a warm round of applause for South Africa’s premier veterinary pet health insurance company – Medipet. See what they […]

I thought I had found the perfect “tame” Cape Town handyman. He was not very different to the naked guy on the beach in Along Came Polly. He was very foreign, had a pony tail and was nothing short of “steamy.” He did everything from painting my house to tiling my deck – everything was […]
One of the rules that I constantly try and enforce on myself is not to stock up on junk food. If I have the need for chocolate or biltong or sweets of any sort, I am forced to go to the shops and get it. I can’t keep a stock of sweets and only tickle […]
I think this little mention comes at a good time – shortly after my review on John Shannan’s book, “Modern Man is a Wimp” where Shannan makes an alarmed reference to “metrosexuals” and the fact that men find it necessary these days to use moisturisers and other products to beautify themselves. Personally I don’t have […]
I have just had a PVR satellite decoder installed at the safe house and I thought I should let the earth see the following video. Particularly if you’re looking at getting a satellite decoder in Cape Town, or want ANY work done on your TV. Before we get into that, I must just tell you […]
