Everybody knows that it is not often that one truly captures the sunset in a photograph. People who show holiday photos of sunset after sunset, do not realise that they mean pretty much fuckall to the person they’re showing them to. It means the world to the guys who went on holiday. Like this photo […]

Andrew James sent in the last TBG sighting and mentioned that a few of his colleagues had a group photo with The TBG (Tall Blonde Guy). He said they would be sending it in to 2oceansvibe. I forgot about it completely until I received the following email and photograph from The Celebrity MC. It sounds […]

So Thursday was a holiday and nothing had been planned for Wednesday night. I was meant to be sick so didn’t want to drink a lot of alcohol (I have a weird recollection of a Doctor, somewhere, telling me that “a little bit of alcohol is actually quite good for you”). I had given G-man […]

Now these are the kind of TBG sightings that make me melt! A Durban man who does business all over the country and sometimes the world, has finally timed a trip just right – bumping straight into the nation and world’s greatest saviour – The TBG (Tall Blonde Guy)! Take a listen to what happened […]

By all accounts, it seems there is a very real fixed minimum number of nights that your chick demands you spend together, with her, in the week. So when you have a girlfriend, you slowly get whipped into adhering to these sleepover rules. Sometimes without even realising it. Next thing you know, you’re lying about […]

19 July, 2007 TBG SPOTTED AT VIDA E IN GREEN POINT Very chilled Well it’s not our usual kind of TBG sighting, but it’s a sighting nonetheless! It’s from long distance, but there is no mistaking those gorgeous golden locks! His aura is also quite obvious – even from that distance. This, sent in by […]

Lucas R was dragged along to a stranger’s SURPRISE birthday a couple months back by a local friend of his. He had just landed in the country from the UK and thought it would be a good way to make new friends. Little did he know he had landed slap-bang in the middle of an […]

When I first told you about TBG Day (27 December) and the launch of the TBG-shirts, I didn’t tell you the FULL story. Which is surprising. I mean, why wouldn’t I tell you that ALL THE BOYS CAME RIGHT THAT DAY! It’s amazing what a bit of TBG aura can do! Chicks fucking dig it! […]

The Driver fetched The Kitesurfer and me (it’s not The Kitesurfer and “I” in this case, Mum) from the Fresnaye Heights dinner party on Friday night at about 23h30 and was given a fresh instruction, “Wadda Bar please, driver. That’s in Claremont. And let’s get some AC/DC cranking, otherwise these 13 Harman/Kardon surround sound speakers […]

I’ve been keeping this in for six months. You see, quite some time ago a few of us proclaimed December 27 as “TBG Day”. We felt a day was needed to celebrate and think about everything that is the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy). And what better date to choose than that which is only two […]

It is quite a treat for me to be in L.A., surrounded by movie stars, only to receive a brand new sighting from Cape Town of someone who’s fame dwarfs these pretenders around me – The TBG (Tall Blonde Guy). As his mystery and seemingly nuclear aura continue to grow every day, another duo manage […]

I think this little mention comes at a good time – shortly after my review on John Shannan’s book, “Modern Man is a Wimp” where Shannan makes an alarmed reference to “metrosexuals” and the fact that men find it necessary these days to use moisturisers and other products to beautify themselves. Personally I don’t have […]

Pretty moving stuff here. In the latest TBG sighting it seems the great man was present at the last Dirty Skirts gig at Bang Bang. Ever-alert Carl D maximised the moment that was presented before him. The TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) looks PARTICULARLY relaxed in this pic. God! Just LOOK at him! Amazing! And to […]

As TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) fever grows exponentially, we see how big the Cape Town icon has become in Jo’burg. Here we see one lucky Audi driver who has managed to secure himself the 918th TBG plate. Enjoy it, my boet. You deserve it. TBG 918 GP

It is not common for the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) to bless a group of people at one time, but it certainly has happened at least once! In these remarkable photographs we see the TBG very calmly dealing with the mass hysteria and weeping that one would expect from a book club sharing such an […]

It is with some amusement that I read the words “Private Number” or “Unknown” on my cellphone’s display. The phone is set to ‘silent’, returned to it’s previous position and ignored. Unknown numbers will, quite simply, not be answered. Ever. The non-answering of these calls has become something of second nature to me. It’s honestly […]

One of SA’s top recording artists and 2oceansvibe friend, James Stewart, has finally had his moment in the sun with the great man. Increasingly elusive, it seems that stolen moments with the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) are nothing short of sacred. Some call it the second coming. Some say he is an illusion, a myth. […]

Thanks be to the TBG For the first time this month, we are thankfully graced with a new TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) sighting. This, just sent in by Tracy Mc. Look at the pure joy on her face! The TBG grants a wish and heals a sick child across the room with his eyes Hi […]

This is an interesting one. I must say it does bring a smile to my face when I receive not only a TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) sighting, but a sighting from someone who had not previously heard of the TBG. I mean IMAGINE trying to deal with his intense presence and aura – whilst not […]

I must just warn you that I am writing this after annihilating two joints and half a bottle of Whiskey. (For those who wish to increase their knowledge : whisky from Scotland has no ‘e’, but whiskey from Ireland has an ‘e’. Jamesons, therefore, is spelt WHISKEY). Ja, you know – you learn something new […]

As much as our every breath depends on the next TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) sighting, it is only now and then that we receive reports which enable us to get a deeper understanding of the myth. A man so deep, so treasured, can never truly be understood. All we get are glimpses….tiny morsels of information […]

15 February, 2007 THE TBG CONTINUES HIS WORK ON EARTH Yet another finds herself encapsulated The might and reach of this Cape Town phenomenon seems to have no bounds. The TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) has, once again, delivered a moment of magic to someone very lucky. Tarryn S tries her best to describe the aura […]

If I don’t write this now then it just won’t be done. As a wordsmith, I lose the excitement to write a “piece” about 72 hours after conception. I came up with an “angle” for Saturday’s J&B Met story on Sunday evening. So it’s been just under 72 hours since then. The angle was to […]

I don’t know why, but I have a tendency to NOT get excited about incredible things that are apparently going to happen, until they do. Invariably they fade into oblivion. A good friend of mine, Tom K, an architect (we’ll call him The Architect), has been telling me about a restaurant that he and his […]

I have great pleasure in bringing you the first TBG sighting of 2007! After receiving reports via email that the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) was spotted over the festive season as far afield as Canada, it seems the symbol of all that is good and true has returned to the temple. Welcome back, TBG, the […]

I have just had a PVR satellite decoder installed at the safe house and I thought I should let the earth see the following video. Particularly if you’re looking at getting a satellite decoder in Cape Town, or want ANY work done on your TV. Before we get into that, I must just tell you […]

I received contact today from the people’s Springbok, AJ Venter. It seems that, whilst AJ is yet to have his moment with the TBG, he does somehow feel connected to the great man. I won’t say anymore. The beauty of AJ is you DON’T have to say anymore. He does it all himself. He gift […]

Once again we see how obvious it is when one is in the presence of the great icon. Here we see the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) at Kirstenbosch Gardens, during the Goldfish concert. We can’t see his face, but there is no mistaking that sheer height and those gorgeous, glowing golden locks. This, just in […]

I cannot believe that there were even MORE hearts that were touched by the emblem of all things good, God’s servant, The TBG (Tall Blonde Guy), during his time at the Rocking The Daisies concert. Here we see not one, not two, but three souls warmed by his presence. Andrew D had this to say: […]
