It’s the Lizzard Nando’s Surf Pro held at Durban’s North Beach 15-17 May, and I’m not able to go. That means that YOU might be able to get your hands on my two VIP tickets. We cannot confirm if Julius Malema will be competing or attending the event, but Nando’s will definitely be there. […]
I spotted a pretty cool competition going on at Foozi.co.za (local foosball manufaturing company) targeted at local ad agencies and designers. It’s a pretty rad idea, with the best foosball table design winning their very own branded foosball table! Quite nice. I had a little poke around and there are some pretty sick designs. […]
Last night brought along a killer sunset which rounded up the weekend weather quite nicely. Those of you who caught last week’s 2oceansvibe Weather Girls Show would have known about that awesome weekend weather that we had. God, it was good! Last night’s sunset (A bit of saturation never hurt anyone..) It was […]
This is how I’m rolling at the moment. I have just returned from a weekend away in Kommetjie where The Muse and I looked after The Surfer‘s pad. I offloaded the car into The Safe House and took in the sight of my new Puma bag, shoes and jacket. I liked what I saw and […]
Enjoy this SNL clip with Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg – The same two that brought you Dick in a Box. Andy and the Lonely Island band also gave us the awesome I’m on a Boat music video. Oh, this video also has a very provocative SUSAN SARANDON! Ja, you heard me. You can read […]
It started yesterday when Martin L from Diletto emailed me mentioning something about 2oceansvibe being down. I forwarded the email to Chris at iMod (my tech/seo guru and fellow SA Blog Award winner) and between us we couldn’t find anything wrong. “Thanks, Martin” I replied – but everything looks fine now. He wrote back confirming […]
Andrew R sent this to The Marketer who, in turn, sent it on to me. What happens from there is that I immediately think of YOU and I put together this little article so that you can enjoy with me. You like that? Ja, I bet you do. Going Going GONE! Very cool. My […]
You have heard the news that they are having an Idols final vote recount, right? No, I’m not kidding. Let’s break it down. This, from News24: Cape Town – M-Net has announced that they have begun to audit votes for Idols because of “system problems“. “The moment we were alerted to possible […]
This incredible shot was sent in today by Mark C, showing the view of Cape Town from the Tygerberg region (home to De Grendel wines). Quite something! An ocean of cloud God only knows what is going on under that blanket!
A little bit awkward this whole vibe. It took place at at an after-party in New York for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala. Kiefer Sutherland was there and so was Brooke “Blue Lagoon” Shields. Then apparently this fashion designer guy, Jack McCollough, knocked Shields over. Whether it was on purpose or not […]
I mentioned to you (here) in early January about this job which epitomises the 2oceansvibe lifestyle and mantra – “Work is a sideline, live the holiday.” To recap, the Queensland Department of Tourism offered a job (here) as “an island caretaker” paying $150,000 a year, involving a lot of chilling, a lot of snorkelling and […]
Dubbed the Hélicoptère par Hermès†and priced at $6 million, the EC135 helicopter is created by a collaboration between Eurocopter and Hermès, the French luxury goods designer. Let’s get into to it. Hélicoptère par Hermès “This helicopter illustrates a fusion between design and technology, where every detail has been created for VIP and […]
You know it’s pretty serious when Sky News report on a lottery rollover! Just last week we were raging (here) about the EuroMillions jackpot sitting at £82 million, which worked out to R1 billion. Well would you believe it, no-one won and the jackpot has rolled over for a SIXTH time! And now it’s sitting […]
Spotted in Cape Town, seemingly with reference to the global SWINE FLU outbreak and its possible spread in and around the Cape Flats. Oh dear me. We seriously need to work on our spelling guys. Are you aware that one word can change the story completely? And are you aware that two words […]
Keeper of the faith, Doug W, sent in the following disturbing cautionary scrawl written on the wall of the KFC drive-through, in the Rosmead area of Harfield/Kenilworth. Seth, Hanging off the backend of a bender – myself and the missus were looking for a KFC, something to soak up the booze! Anyway, not feeling […]
I was editing the last 2oceansvibe Weather Girls feature at iKraal head office the other day, and started playing some Tom Jones on my laptop. That’s when I received an email from Ken in the next room, with a link to this very early live video of “The Voice” dancing on stage. Oh my shattered […]
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, […]
That’s right, the 2009 Gumball 3000 Rally runs from 2 to 8 May. For those of you who don’t know what it’s about, it’s a lot like the scooter rally we went on the other day through Cape Town, except completely different. It’s a cross country/ies 3,000 miles long and is done in ultra-luxurious, rare […]
This just in. Having spent some time in my youth in Pinelands, it always cuts me deep when I hear bad stories to do with the once sleepy hollow. I was having a great day today, between working on the movie script and some down time at Caprice – before I received this email and […]
Don’t know about you, but I just bought 5 lines for Friday’s Euromillions jackpot. I suggest you do the same. During a recession, why would you not? You know we don’t make a fuss about the EuroMillions lottery on 2oceansvibe unless it comes with a big jackpot. Well, this Friday is ANOTHER rollover with a […]
Ok, the whole “swine flu” topic is on everyone’s lips (good one) and I think it’s reaching a point where we need to be more educated on the topic. Let’s get through that, then we’ll chat about these recent local cases. A friend of mine, Wilfred Ikipedia, filled me in on the vibe. check it […]
Turning heads is one thing, but making men freeze, seemingly dumbstruck, is another. While some might think that Kate Moss is on the verge of losing it, this pic says exactly the opposite. Taken recently in a garden centre, somewhere in the UK. Watch your hose there, buddy.. Tidy..
Role play has always been enjoyed here at 2oceansvibe. You may have picked up that The Roofer enjoys quite a bit of surfing exposure, whilst The Surfer himself has recently been spotted (with great success , I might add) trying his hand at photography (here). Not that this should effect the title of The Photographer. […]
I received this on voting day from a reader who spotted it on TV. A member of the crowd was holding it up as Kevin Pietersen came in to bat. Pure quality [thanks kevin s]
Wow, I certainly hope that this doesn’t effect our local tequila supplies. Remember when that happened a few years back? Suddenly there was no tequila in town. In fact, there was a global tequila shortage if I remember correctly. Hectique! Anyway, you may have heard about the Swine Flu outbreak all over the US. From […]
This is a big day for Old Mutual . As a company that is known for it’s staid image and knack for red tape and corporate governance, it comes as a refreshing surprise that they have lifted a 5 year block on access to 2oceansvibe. And now, in this rare moment, the employees at Old […]
We have a few announcements today. Firstly, Goldfish have followed the trend set by The Dirty Skirts and have given 2oceansvibe the exclusive release of their new music video, Cruising Through . Let’s have a look at that, and then we’ll check out the email I received from Goldfish (currently in Brazil), as well as […]
Today is a public holiday here – AGAIN. And the coming Friday as well… I know – it’s disgusting. See you on Tuesday.
By now you would have watched Part 1 of the 4th 2oceansvibe Weather Girls installment. This one is Part 2. [If you haven’t watched part 1 then you need to do that first otherwise it won’t make sense. Seriously] It should be in the article below this one. If not, CLICK HERE. And so, once […]
It’s an action packed episode this week, split into two parts! Not only do we spend time with the gorgeous Genevieve Morton (grab a seat), but we also delve into the secret underworld of scooter thong riding in Cape Town – featuring yours truly. I was hesitant when I first met Gen, but, I’ll be […]
