Let’s chat about the current “vibe” I’m going for.. I’ve been getting a lot of attention about two things lately. My new shades, and the shirts I’ve been throwing around. People say that I have been “killing it” and they want to know where the goods are from. Look, that’s fair enough.. So instead of […]
I didn’t think it would work, when I was first told about @yourlunchrun, the new Twitter account guy whose Twitter page tells us, “Don’t have time for a run? I’ll do it for your lazy Ass. Just enjoy the ‘time out’ and even send requests to make it YourRun – GO!” Apparently he heads off […]
With the signature 2oceansvibe slogan telling us, “Work is a sideline, Live the holiday,” there were two very obvious things that needed to be addessed. First was the launch of 2oceansvibe Jobs – a website which showcases all temporary, freelance and part-time jobs available in Cape Town and beyond. No permanent 9-5 jobs will be […]
A new website, by the name of www.stephaniekohler.co.za has gone viral in South Africa’s Twitter universe. From what initially like someone’s own personal webpage, the person to which the domain name refers, “Stephanie Kohler,” has nothing to do with the website whatsoever, other than being the target of an online attack. Retribution for alleged fraudulent […]
In November I alerted you about the Seth Rotherham feature in the ELLE Magazine. I didn’t publish it in full on these pages, as the magazine was still in circulation. It is now off the shelves and has coincidentally become one of their most successful issues ever. Weird.. especially with that issue of YOU Magazine […]
I put “on it’s head” in inverted commas to indicate a quote, presumably by someone with authority. Given the topic of wine pairing, one would hope, at the very least, that the quote came from someone within the food or wine industry. In truth… it didn’t – I made it up. Yup, that’s right. Much […]
The 2oceansvibe slogan, “Work is a sideline, Live the holiday” is widely accepted as the ultimate ideal. In order for work to be a sideline, one needs to avoid full-time 9 to 5 employment at all costs. Unless you’re working for yourself. But in order to get your own thing going, you need spare time. […]
We’ve chatted about these guys before – Luxury4Less – the guys who sell limited stock discounted luxury items online. They got 500 signups on the first day and those of you who did it will know why. With Christmas around the corner, I can’t not tell you about deals on luxury goods – I mean, […]
Springbok captain, John Smit, is currently on a whirlwind book signing tour of South Africa. From Margate to Canal Walk, fans are arriving in their droves, just to get a glimpse of the global superhero and, God willing, an autograph. Not that one should expect complete support at these events, as we witness this adorable […]
They seriously should have called it OnlineBrowniePoints.co.za instead of WooliesHampers.co.za, because that is essentially what it is. It’s an online machine that produces brownie points in exchange for a few mouse clicks and a credit card number. Seriously. It’s quite silly. Remember that hamper I bought last week for Marina, to celebrate the birth of […]
Is it just sitting there on the table? Annoying you? It’s such a small amount of money, but we all know that the cost is not what we are fearing – it’s the queues at the Traffic Department – oh, the pain! When is the best time to get there? And, when I get there, […]
Tiger van der Westhuizen Spotted in Mabu Vinyl s shop window – Cape Town (a follow up to their hilarious Kevin Pietersen window display) Tiger Woods Named Top Athlete of the Decade – That’s what you get for playing good golf and bonking anything with a heartbeat and a pair of Ray Ban aviators. Who […]
I received the following invite from Puma, essentially giving me carte blanche to do whatever I want in their V&A Waterfront store from 19h00 to 21h00 tomorrow (Tuesday) night. They’re giving me a 45% discount, which I am able to extend to you. And that’s not for sale items – that’s includes NEW STOCK! Not […]
And by a “joke” I mean it’s “off the charts.” So much so that it’s silly. I tell you what, between Apple products and these guys, life couldn’t be easier. David, the owner of Caprice gave me no option but to attend a party at Caprice on Saturday night last week. And off I went. […]
There is a saying I made up a few years ago when I used to smuggle my cat, Homer, through customs. I used to tell my friends, “Don’t let the cat out the bag.” Since then, it’s use has slowly evolved and now people use it as an actual saying. They mainly use it to […]
I know what you’re thinking. How can it get to this level? It’s quite silly, really – it’s like we’re playing this game on “easy” mode.. Behold, the ULTIMATE Christmas gift.. Due to the overwhelming amount of awesome videos on 2oceansvibe, you can’t be expected to watch it all – and let’s face it, not […]
It’s not so much the “wow” factor of a paraglider landing on Camps Bay Beach opposite Caprice, as much as it is an excuse to remove yourself from whatever you’re doing and to submerge yourself into the ridiculous day we’re having today. A quick video wouldn’t hurt. Check it out: Some of you would have […]
If there weren’t enough reasons for you to love Mabu Vinyl (2oceansvibe’s vinyl store of choice), this may well be what you’re looking for. Spotted in their window over the last week: Spotted in Mabu Vinyl’s shop window.. Enjoy the “Dickhead” sign above the book You simply CANNOT put a price on that kind of […]
We’ve covered the phenomenon of “ASS” flavoured foods on 2oceansvibe for quite some time ( see Spar’s ass rolls here, Pick n Pay’s parmalat ass here, Woolworths quiche ass here). I’m pleased to say that the acquired taste of ass in foods is spreading up the coast, having now hit the Spar in Hermanus. Excellent! […]
Sometimes the prizes are so big on 2oceansvibe that you don’t believe it’s true. That’s fair enough – I pinch myself on a daily basis. And so did our latest winner Nicola Duncan (along with list creator – yours truly) when she found herself at Canal Walk last week, claiming her thirty grand’s worth of […]
Welcome to this week’s 2oceansvibe Show, brought to you by NoMU – eat. drink. live. And WHAT an occasion it is! Who would have thought that Helen Zille would accept the offer of being a 2oceansvibe Weather Girl? My goodness, what a surprise! Although, in all fairness, the allure of joining an exclusive club which […]
I don’t know about you, but I’ve just ordered this T-shirt “online” : That’s just how I’m rolling at the moment. And that’s exactly how they ALWAYS roll at “Challah Clothing ,” which is an online T-shirt shop.. You seem confused? Perfectly understandable. Their About Us section of the website explains: Challah Clothing was founded […]
I attended a full day at the Audi High Performance Driving Course at Killarney race track in Cape Town. I don’t know if it was because of that speeding fine I got, but my boys at Audi Centre Cape Town felt I couldn’t carry on driving the R8 or the TT without attending the course. […]
To say that I was the PC poster-boy, would be an understatement. I had a computer from the age of six and, given that I was an only child, I spent an inordinate amount of time in front of the various computers I have had throughout my life. Apart from the “SpectraVideo” and BBC computers […]
It’s with great ease that they do, because Boschendal Grande Cuvee Brut (lest we forget the Le Grand Pavillon Brut Rosé) has very recently become the sparkling wine of choice for 2oceansvibe. Hardened 2oceansvibers out there will know what it takes to get the nod as a 2oceansvibe brand and, make no mistake, this premium […]
Don’t say I don’t tell you how and when to be at the right place at the right time. I was contacted by the owner of an online company called luxury4less who have launched a very exclusive website offering a vast range of premium brands and designer products at massively reduced prices. But it’s not […]
Cape Town band, Brothers Streep who are friends of some of the 2oceansvibers out there were on Graham Norton’s BBC TV show. They (Brother’s Streep) are big fans of oscar winner and star of The Piano, Anna Paquin, who happened a guest on Graham’s show. Anna Paquin THEN As “Flora” in The Piano Anna […]
I am overly impressed with the vibe being thrown by the new Cape Quarter, in the de Waterkant neighborhood of Green Point. Do yourself a favour and do a little fly-by along Somerset Road, opposite the BP (who are upgrading their shop to include some new kind of Pick ‘n Pay express vibe – much […]
My search for the best people, brands and places continues; as I simply cannot hold back from telling you about the dentist du jour! I hadn’t been to the dentist for a while and, with mother’s recent visit to Cape Town, it was impossible to avoid. She told me about this guy, and went on […]
It’s common knowledge that I am a big fan of the Woolies JT1 lingerie range (I’m not alone, it seems) and have never seen a better example of why this is, as on Saturday night at the JT1 fashion show which took place at Cape Town’s FTV Cafe. Every single girl involved was an absolute […]
