Hello team! I need your help. Finally local sports betting has come online, properly! I’m trying out this new site called greatodds.com and want to test it a bit this weekend, just to get my head around it. www.greatodds.com This is gonna be fun! So for now I’m just going to put down some […]
I’m making use of a number of my resources this week. With the help of my friendly Butlers, there will be a number of Knead Love Boxes being sent all over town to some special angels! The contents of the Love Box Knead (Wembley Square – Cape Town) are offering the boxes (with the above […]
We’ve had a good response so far, following the Butlers Pizza video we ran on 2oceansvibe TV. It cost R500 to get a driver to deliver to Hermanus and we’re told it will cost you R50 to get your Butler to change a light bulb. I’m sure there are tons more, but, for […]
They’re pretty much all I wanted as a kid, especially when I was going through my ninja phase. I had a judo suit and some ninja stars, but no shoes. Look, these things aren’t REAL ninja shoes, they’re actually espadrilles masquerading as ninja shoes – but we CALL them ninja shoes. And anyway, you’ll probably […]
I don’t know what is more alarming – the fact that the manufacturer would give their product a name that can be so easily mistaken for a swear word (Fuchsware), or the fact that the person writing the sign didn’t double check the spelling. Nonetheless, the result is quite stunning. This, spotted in a local […]
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 […]
It was a couple months back that the Interior Decorator told me that I “simply HAVE to visit DVD Nouveau” on Bree Street in Cape Town. She told me about their incredible selection of DVD’s for rent, including every series and all the classics. I looked for the shop, but I couldn’t find it and […]
I was very impressed when the box of 2oceansvibe Kika-Sack balls arrived at my door. With the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup hitting town in the not-too-distant future, I couldn’t think of a better branding exercise. I mean, check how cool are these little guys? 2oceansvibe branded KIKA-SACK balls I know! How stunning? So […]
I am “between” laptops at the moment and am using an old beast (not too old – running XP) I had locked in a cupboard far far away. Apart from the trip down memory lane, courtesy of the old pictures and videos I found on the hard drive (not very good quality – the size […]
With a fridge filled with Jack Black upon arrival, I realised The Cape Grace were on the right track and should therefore experience even more of the 2oceansvibe. That is why I ordered Butlers Pizza on Friday night for myself – and threw in another human-height pile of pizzas for the Cape Grace staff. […]
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 […]
You will recall the sheer childlike exuberance I expressed the day I bought my Louis Vuitton shades (click here for that story), back in July. then imagine the sheer heartbreak I felt when those very sunglasses BROKE last week on Wednesday. The actual frame broke – not an arm or anything minor – the fucking […]
As the folks pack up in Oz and head off to Provence to add the final touches to the bastide, a moment was spared to scan a page from an Australian magazine and email it to me. This time, it was an ad for Christmas “gifts for him.” which included the BBQ Brand and the […]
We’ve chatted before about this lovely game the Atlantic Ocean plays from time to time, called “lake-lake.” That’s what it is doing today. It usually comes with an ever-so-thin haze in the sky, causing the ocean to look almost metallic in colour. Camps Bay – todayvery kak Yup, that’s the one. So anyway, […]
I was a little peckish the other morning so I popped into the Vida e on Kloof Road. I felt like something different and asked Msizi if the Prego Roll was any good. He said I would enjoy it. So off I went. The Prego Roll – by Vida eInsane As worldly and […]
I’ve wanted to mention this for quite some time and finally got it done this morning. It is well documented that I use Redken Maneuver as my hair product of choice. It comes in at a reassuringly expensive price and is only available in actual salons. Like the Partners “Hair Design” (hilarious) chain of salons. […]
I was surprised, amused and concerned (all at the same time) when I spotted this TIK test in the local 7-Eleven. Or, “Friendly” Store as it is actually called. It doesn’t make a difference what the place is called; it will never deter from the fact that it has always, and will always, have the […]
De Grendel Wine farm. An exceptional range of wines, grown and harvested on the De Grendel Wine Farm in Tygerberg, with beautiful views of Cape Town’s Table Mountain.
Seth Rotherham stumbles upon the JT1 lingerie range at Woolworths, in Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront.
You gotta give our favourite Cape Town beer, Jack Black, a pat on the back when they bring out a tap and quietly have it installed at both Caprice and Mount Nelson’s Planet bar in the same week! JACK BLACK – on tap at Caprice and Mount Nelson’s Planet Bar Nice one – things […]
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 […]
Damnit I want this inside me. Look how beautiful it is. Look at that classic logo with those FLAMES on top! Can you imagine drinking tequila infused with Tabasco? That’s pretty much as close as you’ll ever get to having your cake and eating it. Or, in this case, downing it. On your own. At […]
It was only Lalesso that lifted our spirits as The Muse and I attended another school project that was handed in a few weeks ago, this time entitled “Cape Town Fashion Week.” Once again we were treated to scenes and people and “organising” that INSISTS on giving the impression that this is all being done […]
I’ll be completely honest, I have NEVER found an anti-virus software program that I like, let alone one that works. There is ALWAYS something wrong with it. It either slows down my computer to a grinding halt (keeping earth in orbit requires a large number of programs to be running simultaneously on my computer) or […]
I’m quite pleased with myself. I popped into Carlucci’s yesterday to get a Chunky Chicken Salad and I spotted their range of stovetop espresso makers, as I do every time (always two words, it is never “everytime”). I bit my lip as I grabbed the small Bialetti Moka Express one-man unit from the shelf and […]
I was cruising around the Atlantic Seaboard yesterday and it was one of those days that reminds you of the importance of owning a power yacht. I looked over the small bay area of Clifton 4th beach and was pleased that a few players had taken the initiative. And that’s when I remembered […]
Not to be mistaken for the Funky Chicken which is, in fact, a dance. The Chunky Chicken Salad can be found at Carlucci’s, on Victoria Road, Bantry Bay. “Oh, ja, just opposite The Ambassador Hotel?” Yup, that’s the one.  The Chunky Chicken Salad – available exclusively at Carlucci’s  I tell you what, it’s […]
Well, I had seen this little puppy in a few of the overseas mags I get every month (which include Vanity Fair, US GQ, Conde Nast Portfolio, New York Magazine, Monocle and Wired) and every time I saw the ad I grew more and more aware of how badly I needed to own the Fujitsu […]
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 […]
It’s pretty much 4pm on Friday and before everyone packs up for the weekend, I thought I’d let you know what I found. It’s called Patron Tequila and is billed as the #1 tequila in the word! Ballsy, to say the least. Gorgeous to look at, nonetheless. So I thought I would take my first […]
