I honestly didn’t think I would ever be getting excited about an afrikaans rapper coming to Cape Town. But hey, look at global warming” – things change.. The uninitiated may want to check out the article we did on SA superstar Jack Parow a short while back. The guy has basically exploded onto the local […]
A combination of emails I have received, as well as the responses (comments) to the brief 2oceansvibe review of The Killers concert, suggests an overwhelming negativity to the way in which Big Concerts organised the event. OR THIS ONE They (Big Concerts) obviously received the same backlash, as they felt compelled to release the following […]
Please don’t let the same thing happen as what happened with The Killers concert in Cape Town. You know what I’m talking – those of you that woke up too late and couldn’t get tickets. The 2010 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate is on January the 9th which is one month away. That’s right, South Africa’s premiere […]
Apparently you can check some angels tanning topless somewhere in this photo. Honestly – it’s so high res that you can move the pic around and zoom in a long way. It’s virtually crystal clear on full zoom. I couldn’t find them (the topless angels). But I think what we should do is look for […]
I got an email a few months back from a 2oceansviber, telling me about this pair of twin brothers who were making some seriously cool music. “Locnville” was the name. I get a lot of people emailing and telling about their friend’s “awesome” band and sadly now take “heads ups” with a pinch of salt. […]
No one week ago we gave you the AWESOMENESS that is/was the Liesbeek River feature on Google Earth, citing “underage orgies” as a common occurrence at said river. That has apparently been changed. Not that it has stopped other SA Wikipedia nuggets, including this one, describing the town of Underberg, in Kwazulu-Natal. Enjoy that last […]
Well done to Lee Casalena, who has created this excellently excellent virtual tour of the Cape Town Green Point stadium. Including images of workers scratching their heads and a pair of white people in hard hats. I see a lot of chemistry between those two.. If it (the virtual tour) doesn’t work then you may […]
So as I said a couple days back, all these ex-flings of Tiger’s are starting to come out of the woodwork, following his bizarre car accident outside the front of his home (which including his wife “rescuing him by smashing the back window of the car with a golf club). Some of them are obviously […]
It’s taken me MANY years to think about purchases before I make them – such is the change from only child to only man. You still want the thing urgently, but ghosts of broken toys past add necessary caution to the American Express Platinum wind. This last week was a prime example. My friend, Jonty […]
It’s true what they say – “If you can dream it, you can do it.” I remember as a kid, dreaming of beautiful women pouring expensive champagne all over my body as I lay on expensive yachts with oysters being dropped into my mouth by incredibly well-tanned dwarves. And now, it has turned into reality. […]
I received a stunning little tipoff from one Justin, giving me the heads up on the Cape Town portion of Google Earth. I hadn’t yet installed Google Earth onto my new MacBook Pro (courtesy of Digicape – the anti-iStore) so I did that in about 1 minute flat (download Google Earth here) and “booted” it […]
They’ve come in from all over and well done to the peeps that took them. Whilst there certainly were many duplicates in my inbox, the following images are made of pics I received sent in from three different sources. Please enjoy these pics (there are more, make sure you see them all by following the […]
So the Boks are taking on Ireland at Croke Park. If we lose on Saturday – of course, I hope we don’t – but if we do, I would like to take this opportunity to prepare all South Africans for the next wave of entertaining Sunday morning headlines, right out of the top drawer. I […]
Some of you may not have received the memo regarding Monday. We call it the weather report and it was showing a reading of “stupid” for the whole day. It started off like this: And ended like this: With all sorts happening in between. To check out the shots from the day, check out the […]
There was great concern as to the reason behind the Nazi flags flying at the University of Cape Town this weekend. Many speculated that they were hoisted for some movie being shot in and around the Mother City. Not a bad reason – certainly better than the suggestion of there being a Nazi convention being […]
I must admit I’ve been dying to do Fantastic Racing for a while now and when Cape Town Tourism invited me to a day at Killarney (same place I did the Audi Advanced Driving Course the other day) racing around in single seater racing cars, well, I couldn’t resist! This is what I found upon […]
Was it a Nazi Convention? Perhaps some students buggering around? Or maybe someone was shooting a movie? Whatever the reason, there were Nazi flags raised at UCT this weekend and no-one knows why. Nazi flags spotted at U.C.T. Quite a vibe.. This, just a month after the Nazi garden gnomes outcry in Germany – involving […]
You might recall the article we published the other day entitled “CAPE TOWN COMPANY SCAMS BRITISH JOBSEEKERS” which detailed an alleged online job seeker recruitment scam at the hands of a company by the name of Darnell International. As mentioned in the article, it is “alleged” and very much one person’s views and it was […]
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 […]
I thank God every year for the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate – a place where I can truly be myself in the comfort of like-minded people who understand the difference between being classy and being clever. A place where I feel protected from the riff-raff and can discuss the latest issue of Vanity Fair with those […]
Ipod plugs in on the right hand side – as seen above Looks pretty cool, hey? A bit “big,” you say? Sure, it’s large, but look at the amount of SOUND you’re getting!! CLICK HERE for the Wall of Sound Experience! [thanks jonty]
Step aside, vuvuzela! Can you believe this? The boys who brought you the “Kika Sack” have added to the fun with this stunning new piece of fun – the “Kika Stick!” They’re ALL the RAGE! I’ve just ordered 100 of the things! You get them branded with your company’s logo. WHAT an incredible “marketing opportunity!” […]
Sorry, I beg your pardon, did you say that you’ve “seen it all?” This, sent in by Warren H: NOW you’ve “seen it all” Surely it wouldn’t be great if that thing hit a big bump? More importantly, did he think no-one would see him? Check out these pics and you’ll find that the cops […]
2oceansvibe Character, The Roofer , had a little surf at Dungeons yesterday. No stranger to big wave surfing, this should have been like any other wave – big speed, big “green room” etc. Pic by Richard Johnson Unfortunately not so this time.. From Zig Zag‘s website: Things can turn ugly very quickly at Dungeons Reef. […]
I’m a sucker for Audi as it is, and, with this video using the same car as one of mine, the Audi TT, I simply HAD to show it to you! It’s pretty mind blowing.. Radical! This, from their website: You can make a robotic car, and you can make a robotic car — and […]
We have only recently been made aware of this con that is going on around town and are not sure how long it has been going on for. It appears that someone is trying to impersonate one of 2oceansvibe’s leading Characters, “G-MAN.” The first incident came in the comments section of the infamous Portofino article. […]
It doesn’t get very much better than this.. I can’t comment right now. It’s too big to get my head around.. [thanks alex]
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 […]
You never find anything useful on 2oceansvibe. Naah……nothing! Like this… I mean why would you ever want to learn how to open a bottle of wine with your shoe? Admit it, that is probably the best thing you have learnt this year. SAY IT!!!!! Luckily for me, most of De Grendel’s wines are screw-top and […]
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. […]
