Mainstream media have picked up on things, as Number 1 Cape Town radio station, 94.5KFM voice their opinion regarding the email challenge laid down by Idols judge, Randall Abrahams; following Seth Rotherham of 2oceansvibe’s charity acceptance via video this morning. If you’ve missed all the action up to now, read this to get the full […]
You should be pretty up to date now on where we are. If you’re not, I would advise following these links as I give them to you. I was flipping through my satellite TV a few days back and caught 5 minutes of the Idols highlights channel, testing to see if such a short spurt […]
I took this screenshot last week. It was taken from one of Africa’s most respected blog aggregators, AFRIGATOR. Afrigator has over 5,000 blogs in its system and the “Most Viewed” blogs list below shows 2oceansvibe at the number 2 spot in SOUTH Africa, after The Times Multimedia blog/website. Just after 2oceansvibe comes Mail & Guardian’s […]
I posted an article a couple days ago about Idols and, in particular, Dave Thompson suggesting the show might not go on. I also expressed dismay at Randall Abrahams playing the nasty character but ballsing up his sayings/phrases when he does so. All of this came after spending 5 minutes on the Idols highlights channel […]
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 […]
I was watching the Durban auditions of Idols last night on channel 198 and the farce seems to be going ahead for this, the fifth (God help us all) season. And whilst you might not remember who won last year’s competition, you needn’t worry as it looks like they’re finally closing up shop. Dave Thompson […]
I’ve mentioned Louis Theroux to you before. Do you remember? Probably not. I mentioned that his documentary series was available at DVD Nouveau . I also told you about the white supremacist racists that he spent some time with. This included living with the gorgeous blonde monsters, Lynx and Lamb. For those of you aware […]
I thoroughly enjoyed this little Band Aid spoof video about the credit crunch and bankers losing their jobs. The video was sent in by 2oceansvibe’s Six Figures, who is a part of this very industry. He is seriously considering changing his title to “Three Figures.” Click image for video: CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO Stunning.
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 mention a lot of cool eating and drinking establishments and shops on these pages. Everyone from Caprice and Miss K, to Vida e, Butlers and Woolworths. There is a reason for that; I’ve bought into their brands and I feel it is safe for you to do so as well. They are brands that […]
Source : The Telegraph Virgin: the world’s best passenger complaint letter? Here we reproduce a complaint letter sent to Sir Richard Branson, which is currently being emailed globally and is considered by many to be the world’s funniest passenger complaint letter. See the rest of the pics here Dear Mr Branson REF: Mumbai to […]
If you missed the first season then you’ve made a fundamental mistake. It’s available at DVD Nouveau (they are Cape Town’s best DVD rental store and have virtually every series. Ever. In the World), so you can sort that out quick quick. So Season 2 of Californication has started on MNET. It’s on Tuesdays at […]
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 […]
I told you yesterday about the identity of “The Stig” on Top Gear (turns out there was more than one Stig, btw) and at the end of the article I said the following: It reminds me of a few years back when I finally let the cat out of the bag that I was “Woofles†[…]
As you might have gathered, I cruised up to Hermanus with The Muse on Friday arvee last week, in lieu of Don Corleone’s 70th birthday being held at Wolff’s Nest on Saturday night. The drive was pretty cool, except for the fact that we had to return to The Safe House about seventy two times […]
Top Gear fans out there will be excited about this, and a bit sad, I suppose. Much like the neighbour in the Tim Allen “vehicle,” Home Improvement, the test driver featured on the hit TV show, Top Gear, has managed to keep his identity secret. Until now.. The Stig This, from Daily Mail: […]
One of the more popular examples of incredibly amazing early Hermanus architecture, is this house just above Grotto Beach, called Ses Kant. The “Seskant” house in Hermanus The name is Afrikaans (pronounced “sess cunt”) and means “six sides.”
You know the SABC? That’s right, The South African Broadcasting Corporation. Ja, so anyway, they’ve gone and ballsed it up again. Do enjoy this stunning screen shot from a live TV news bulletin, showing a chalk board in the background that should read “Back To School.” The whole of the SABC should consider it […]
This is the third Jack of all trades article we’ve written, following the incredibly well received original two (here and here). I assure you the following image is genuine. Surely there are laws as to what can and cannot be written on flyers given out in public? “Get promoted” – just like that! […]
I was watching the Louis Theroux interview series on DVD earlier this week. You remember I mentioned DVD Nouveau the other day, right? Ja, so the Louis Theroux series comes highly recommended. By me. That’s right. El stampo of approvio. So anyway, in the one episode, Louis goes to white racist America and spends time […]
It’s not often the energies of the universe pull together to give us things like this. Scott Macintrye is a contestant on the latest American Idol which is on at the moment. Scott Macintrye is blind. Ryan Seacrest is the host of American Idol and is therefore fully aware that Scott is blind. That’s why […]
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 […]
The Personal Jukebox spotted this lovely scene at McDonald’s in Canal Walk. THE WORLD CUP STARTS IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS! Not only can you feel like a supermodel when you shop at Canal Walk, but you can experience time travel at the same time! You never have to leave!
Matt O drew my attention to this ad on Gumtree, advertising the following numberplate. Personalised number plate! LUV KIDS-WP Price Neg. Much sought after plate.. I don’t know how “highly sought after” a numberplate like that is. I mean, if it was owned by a baby sitting/nanny service, like www.childminders.co.za, then I don’t have […]
Spotted this on SKY News – quite a cool vibe. check it out: A group of budding scientists have traced every flight in the world over a 24-hour period and plotted them onto an impressive video map. The science buffs from Switzerland collected data on each commercial flight and put it together to make […]
I thought this would be a nice touch. Just a quick tour from the sky of the Green Point stadium. I just did it now for you. This morning. I just popped up and filmed it for you. Because I care. I’m lying, obviously. Someone else did it. Thanks for that, chum.. CLICK HERE […]
I couldn’t quite believe mine eyes as I read through this job offer and subsequent email exchange between a genuinely hopeful candidate and the potential employer. It is a rare treat for it to fall into place so effortlessly. We refer to these sets of circumstance as a “gift.” I would like to make it […]
Whilst Matthew Pearce and Kobus Wiese (with his incredibly strained voice and abysmal English) have succeeded in sidelining Hugh Bladen and have taken South African commentating to another level altogether. Exactly what level that is, is a discussion for another day. But, nonetheless, the subject of sports commentary is fresh in the air. There is […]
2oceansvibe Character and ex-KFM morning-show disc jockey (try saying that with a straight face), Nic Marais (AKA The DJ), has gone off to study law at Yale. People are usually pretty impressed when I tell them that, after they ask me why he is no longer hosting Cape Town’s biggest breakfast show. That’s when I […]
I received a call from Dave after the Springboks drilled England 6-42 on Saturday (congas to Barndog and the boys). He mentioned something about the post match interview with and something about a vindictive little journalist. I searched for it on the “internet” but it was too soon after the event to find anything. Naturally […]
