Whilst the TBG’s (Tall Blonde Guy) spell is being felt and discussed as far afield as New York, I received this TBG sighting over the weekend. In a very rarely seen twist of fate, a Capetonian managed to double up an incredible 33rd birthday with a TBG sighting! I mean, REALLY, what are the chances!!?? […]

Old Dems turns 47 this year. I know, can you believe it! Lieutenant Commander JoAnne Galloway It feels like just yesterday that she was tuning Lieutenant Daniel Kaffe, “My job is to make sure that you do your job. I’m special counsel for Internal Affairs.

I’d seriously consider reading this article – ESPECIALLY seeing as winning tickets for the local SA lottery are being declared invalid (here ). And even so, it’s not like the local SA lottery jackpots are big enough for YOU! We usually only chat about the Euro Millions lottery when it hits a billion Rand. But […]

It’s interesting to note that Dirty Skirts lead guitarist, David Moffatt, sent this in. Michael Jackson is obviously one of his major influences – I had no idea. I’ve been given their latest album another listen, trying to pic up some MJ flavour…. but I can’t find it. But Dave does dance sexy – so […]

Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince is the best Harry Potter adaptation yet (despite sitting next to someone with a super-size popcorn and slurpy and no sense of volume control!). The franchise has slowly evolved from an adorable, theme park-friendly fantasy adventure for kids into a swirling, dark mass of might and magic for older […]

We look after the good people, here at 2oceansvibe. You’ll remember sometime in May (here) I told you about that foosball competition and the fact that a bunch of 2oceansvibers were trying to win it.

At first I didn’t want to mention this TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) sighting, as I didn’t think it was fair. I didn’t think it was fair that one person can have a DOUBLE TBG SIGHTING, in two different cities. How would that feel to the millions of other fans out there who would, quite literally, […]

Health, fire and safety regulators really have taken things to the next level. I mean, the sticker stuck next to fire alarms couldn’t have changed too much over the years. But now, in 2009, they feel that Twitter, of all things, should crack a mention. Please enjoy this (third from the bottom of the list): […]

It’s taken me a long time to be able to say his name with a straight face. I mean, COME ONE, you pronounce it like this : “SHEEYA LA-BOOF!” That is completely off the charts! I mean, honestly, it’s verging on the levels of “Clydewhite.” Anyway, whatever his name is, this one is FOR THE […]

Paul from 1800 restaurant downstairs at the Cape Royale (click that if you haven’t seen this place yet) made a call to my room on Sunday night – “Thanks for the Butlers Pizza” he said, “the staff are all feeling the vibe.” Aah, good, the 10 larges had obviously arrived!

Interesting headline, no? It was sort of a “mish/mash” of what I was thinking when I first saw this.     No don’t fret – there is nothing wrong with this fellow. He is wearing a wetsuit which has a shark attack design on it. Quite a vibe, don’t you think? There are a few […]

Cycling helmet attacks in the Southern Suburbs and beyond are a rarity – a rarity that surely adds to the draw of that particular semi-rural lifestyle.

So here’s Emma Watson, the actress from Harry Potter. Have you watched Harry Potter? I haven’t really. I pretty much know the story, given that Harry Potter, the character, is loosely based on me. Have you watched it a lot? Because if you do think you have, then I can tell you right now for […]
