Here’s a novel way to try and get people to calm down. SAA have erected (penis penis penis) signs at Johannesburg’s Jan Smuts airport, asking travelers not to take their stress out on the SAA staff. Honestly – do we care about your fragile staff? WHAT an incredibly amazing vibe! Imagine how cool […]

25 Feb 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 19 Comments
[This article was written live on Sunday morning] It’s been a blur of a weekend really and whatever transpired has got nothing to do with the fat joint I had this morning before establishing myself in the Arniston Hotel breakfast lounge. You see, not only are you dealing with a view which could make Batman […]

BLAME LE QUARTIER FRANCAIS
30 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I really must apologise for neglecting you like that. You know how much I love you and you know that it hurts me when you are sad. But I do have a very valid reason. And yes, I did remember to bring a note: I really had no idea that Le Quartier Français […]

LE QUARTIER FRANÇAIS IN FRANSCHHOEK
29 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
There has been perhaps too much beaching following my stay at the Cape Grace Hotel and the kind people at Le Quartier Français in Franschhoek quite rightly assumed that I might need a good rest, special pampering and fabulous cuisine. A long weekend in their finest suite was proposed and, I’m the first to admit […]

Did you enjoy that sub-heading? “Lewd conduct the order of the day!” Hah! Who talks like that? Anyway I got an email from The Fruit Farmer, who has an amazing skill of finding local content with a bizarre twist. Always humorous, he gave me a link to an article and asked if I felt the […]

23 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
It’s quite evident that I spent last weekend in Hermanus. I told you about the sea rescue and I told you about the cock guy with the flashing blue light on the way there. But what I did NOT tell you, was about the Butlers Pizza that I ordered and had delivered to Hermanus, over […]

LIVERPOOL ST. STATION DANCE MADNESS
21 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Some of you might have missed this little beauty! It’s an ad for T Mobile which was filmed during nromal work hours and included 350 dancers who let it rip, as everyday commuters passed through the concourse. I don’t normally use the word “concourse” but today’s Wednesday, which means it’s basically the weekend, so fuck […]

HUDSON RIVER PLANE CRASH VIDEO
20 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
You know sometimes when someone says something and a few days later something very similar happens? Ja, well anyway, I call it a “premonition.” People then also sometimes spice it a bit and stretch the amazingness of the particular premonition by clutching onto what we in the industry refer to as “fuck all.” Like someone […]

$150,000 A YEAR TO CHILL ON AN ISLAND
12 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I like the sound of this. As the “credit crunch” hits and people begin to think out the box, it’s good to see some people are embracing the 2oceansvibe concept of “Work is a sideline, live the holiday.” Some of you might be interested in this little job opportunity: Island caretaker job offer: get […]

MERRY SHMERRY
29 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
God, it’s all just so “festive,” isn’t it? People just LOVE throwing around the word “festive.” And then they frill it up a little more with the word “cheer.” Oh, there is just so much FESTIVE CHEER abound, don’t you think? I looked up festive in this book I wrote ages ago entitled “The Dictionary” […]

I tell you, it’s been a few years since I did New Year at The Mount Nelson. The last time was a bit of a blur but, funnily enough, it came up in conversation this week. The Fabrics Guy and I agreed that the last one got a full 10 out of 10, I asked […]

KNOW YOUR SHORT CUTS – CAVALCADE ROAD
18 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
One of my personal favourites, Cavalcade Road is the one you’re looking for. I too used to take random shots at the roads leading down from Sea Point’s High Level Road, in the hope that I would end up near to Giovanni’s and that part of Somerset Road (Vida, Miss K etc.) area. But time […]

FROM THE OTHER SIDE
01 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I made up a saying a while ago and it goes, “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” Once again, another one of my sayings are proven, as you will see below. Earlier on we brought you breaking news of the bus on fire on Hertzog Blvd. in central Cape Town. Those pics came, as usual, from […]

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 […]

BUTLERS PIZZA AT THE CAPE GRACE
27 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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. […]

WEEKEND REVIEW AND A SQUIZZ AT THE DIARY
18 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
After a stunning meal at The Grand in Camps Bay on Friday night (with emphasis on the food, rather than the service) and a solid toot at Caprice, Saturday’s weather followed through without effort. A stunning day was had at The Entrepreneur’s pile, as we indulged in some surf and turf spectator action; with the […]

As well traveled as I am, I must admit that I’ve never been to Thailand. I don’t know too much about it. Well, I suppose I do know a bit of stuff. Like I know that the culture of Thailand incorporates a great deal of influence from India, China, Cambodia, and the rest of Southeast […]

08 Sep 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
The Muse is native to Plettenberg Bay and is therefore the source of these random Plettenberg Bay posts. Plett always was, and still is a part of our lives in Cape Town, so it works out pretty well. I was recently forwarded these pics taken during last week’s storms. Not a good day for […]
