Manic Monday, also known as Transfer Deadline Day, was ended as Big Ben tolled at 11pm UK time yesternight. Torres had been choppered down to West London, Carroll had been whisked from North East to North West and Charlie Adam was seen in a rubber dingy trying to defect from Blackpool. One man is responsible for the hullabaloo: Roman Abramovich.
The Super Bowl is coming up on Sunday and apparently the always tasteful PETA (People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals) has offered NBC flippin’ great wadges of cash to air an ad filled with women fellating vegetables.[NSFW]
This race claims to be the world’s most demanding one-day survival ordeal. You will actually not believe what the competitors have to traverse to make it through this race. Killing fields: fiery fields, swamps, barb wire and mud tunnels. Death warrants must be signed. I choose life.
Zuckerberg And Social Network Actor, Eisenberg, Meet On Saturday Night Live – Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg made a “surprise” appearance on Saturday Night Live, joking with the actor who played him in The Social Network, Jesse Eisenberg. Viewers got a triple dose of Zuckerberg as Oscar nominee/guest host Eisenberg took the stage, quickly joined by the […]
At an undisclosed location in Hawaii, this guy called Devin Graham – who is known for doing odd things in interesting places, and placing videos on the internet – took an abandoned water reservoir turned it into the world’s most coolest Slip ‘n Slide.
Two of the players participating in the Neo Africa Tri-Series, Anton van Zyl and Doppies Le Grange, will be popping in to the 2oceansvibe Radio studios this afternoon to shoot the breeze. There is a strong possibility that we’ll get on to the subject of rugby, what with Anton’s recent titanic performance for the Barbarians […]
Representatives of Sky Sports said they had no hesitation in sacking football pundit Andy Gray over ‘unacceptable behaviour’ after footage emerged of him directing a lewd request at Sky Sports presenter Charlotte Jackson, before roaring with laughter. Well, YouTube has further implicated colleague Richard Keys. This just keeps getting better.
If you were sitting on the fence with that condo purchase on Greenpoint, now really is the time to put an offer on the table. A number of consortiums, most notably the functionally-named Cape Town Grand Prix Bid Company are making bids to bring the F1 Grand Prix to Cape Town.
If you’re a rugby fan in Cape Town, and you haven’t heard of the Neo Africa Tri-Series, then you’ve been missing a trick. This year’s Tri-Series is the second of the annual event, designed to test the mettle of three local Super Rugby teams prior to the kick off of the Super 15. This year, […]
Sky Sports’ coverage of football is first-rate. Not as good as SuperSport’s, but nonetheless it’s decent. However, Sky might consider changing their pundits, Richard Keys and Andy Gray, after the pair, under the impression their mics were off-air, ridiculed a female linesman for being, well, a woman. The audio is after the jump.
Cricketing superstar and controversial bad boy, Herschelle Gibbs made it to the 2oceansvibe Studios prior to a sojourn to the UK for a spot of County Cricket. Interviewed by long time friend and 2oceansvibe DJ, DJ Sox, Herschelle spoke candidly about his much publicised biography, sporting regrets, the state of South African cricket, and girls […]
Cricketing superstar, and ocassionally outspoken bad boy, Herschelle Gibbs, will be gracing the 2oceansvibe Radio studios at the Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village tomorrow morning. What he’ll chat about is anyone’s guess, but there are a few hot topics buzzing around the cricketing community at the moment, and Herschelle has never been one not to speak […]
Yes, ladies and gents, the great rugby machine that is South Africa is about to wake from its festive slumber, and it’s keen to begin stretching those butt-kicking muscles. You guessed it, it’s almost Super Rugby time. And Super Rugby team of course means it’s warm up game time. But since we’ve gotten used to winning, […]
We have got 2 two A4-size photographs (not the above pic), taken by top SA surf photographer, Anthony Fox – and signed by World #2 Surf Champion, SA’s very own Jordy Smith. To win one of these signed prints, tell us what vinyl track Jordy asked to be played during our interview and why you […]
It’s good to see our antipodean friends still have a sense of humour after all the flooding and disaster that’s hit them. An enterprising couple looked out their bedroom window yesterday, saw the river was coming down hectically and decided to go for a joy ride on blow up dolls when the plan, well, blew up in their faces.
We kicked of this last weekend with a 5 hour chillout session on a buddy’s boat, at the start of the 2011 Cape to Rio yacht race. It was quite an experience, with more yachts than sense – out on the water outside Cape Town’s harbour and Waterfront. How we didn’t crash into anyone, God […]
Alright, so that title may be pushing it, especially considering that the world #2 hasn’t claimed his first ASP World Tour title yet (clue: he will, this year), but with pro surf photographer Ant Fox, Seth and Bruce Good in attendance, it was a pretty darn fine interview.

Our Dear Leader, The Great and Beneficent Kim Jong Il has, after all these years of preserving its purity, seen it fit to allow his adoring public access to the great and magnificent Pyongyang Golf Complex. Players from all across the world (except South Korea, naturally) are invited to take part in the first North Korean Amateur Golf Open.
A massive congratulations must go to the organisers of the 150th running of the Queen’s Plate horse race, who put on an event second to none. With the day delivering an wild array of excitement and smouldering beauty, there was barely a moment to catch one’s breath before Locnville, Zebra & Giraffe and Gizelle hit the stage for an evening concert to rival any international event. Photo gallery and celebs after the jump.
Having never met before, SA cricket captain, Graeme Smith and SA surf champ, Jordy Smith, finally met at Cafe Caprice this week. Apparently they were downing 2oceansvibe cocktails all night. Because that’s how they….? *Have you spotted any celebs around town? Send ’em through and you will be rewarded 😉
OBVIOUSLY we wouldn’t skip the annual L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate ticket competition. And with Saturday looming, you haven’t got much time to spare – so best you enter ASAP! We have 10 PAIRS of standard tickets and 2 PAIRS of VIP tickets to giveaway. So if you want to be a winner, then follow the link […]
That headline is not misleading in any way. After inventing the game, and then being beaten at it by almost every one of your former colonies, the English regained a small measure of cricketing pride by spanking the Australian cricket team at the MCG. It took all of fifteen minutes to squander their new found dignity.
Have you seen the entertainment line up for L’Ormarins Queens Plate VIP guests? It’s basically a joke. Look, it goes without saying that the Queens Plate is the most tasteful equine event staged in South Africa, a fact underlined by this year’s theme of “Timeless Elegance”. But that won’t stop us from enjoying a little heel-clicking when the time is right. Check this out – it’s insane!
There wasn’t much joy for the Aussie cricketers yesterday (or today for that matter). They were licking their wounds well into the night. However, a face-off between the great Shane Warne and X-Men star and all-round (no pun) legend Hugh Jackman had the crowd truly grimacing – as Wolverine took a googly to the nether regions. Ooorph.
This time last year Tiger Woods was embroiled in that infamous scandal, which had the vultures at the tabloids clicking their poison pens. A year later and the safety razor group known by 99% of the facial hair-growing community as Gillette, is cutting all ties. Hank Moody gets away with the odd dalliance, but the world’s most renowned golfer is still reeling.
Ever wondered what it’s like to compete in the hurdles? It’s bloody difficult. The hurdles are a lot higher than you think and after landing on the other side your strides need to be evenly distributed. Complicated stuff. Well if you’re looking to improve DO NOT take advice from this sorry muppet: he’s been dubbed ‘the worst hurdler in history’. [VIDEO]
This past weekend I suffered the doppelganger effect. It’s that moment of television watching when, just as the sofa threatens to ingest your lumpy physique, your whole body surges forward violently, propelled by sudden realisation. Kevin Pietersen met the Cable Guy in my mind’s eye.
Past KFM listeners can take a stroll down memory lane this morning as Seth Rotherham and Rich Hardiman find themselves on-air with none other than the former ‘voice of Cape Town’ – Nic Marais. We’ll also be chatting to Crazy White Boy about their music success, as well as Kate and La Muse about this […]
I was always under the impression that cricketers weren’t the best-paid sportsmen on the planet. Well our very own Proteas Graeme Smith and AB de Villiers are set for ‘mahooooosive’ paydays come next year’s IPL. There are 19 others in the highest reserve price and believe me, they’re being paid quite a bit of Tom! Good form chaps.
This is a cautionary tale. You get new hair, and your life will change. This is the news: Jacques Kallis crashed his Audi R8 (excellent taste, JK) supercar into his neighbour’s gate at 02h30 this morning. Now let it be known, hair implants will increase your self-confidence to dangerous levels.
