Two grown men flick their way through an old Argos catalogue for kicks. Ladies and gentlemen, Tim and Simon. They bought the Spring/Summer No.26 Argos catalogue from 1999. Page by page, Tim and Simon make their way through it talking about the things you could buy in the 90s and memories that come with it.
Good news everybody! Tim and Simon are still alive! In this episode they reveal grand plans for Catalogue and answer the question you have been asking: where the hell have you been?
Recorded in separate places and spliced together like Frankenstein's monster, this episode sees the boys shave their gardens and mow their pubes.
Yes, lawnmowers are the order of the day, so if your lawn is looking a bit tufty, get this in your ears.
If you're a fan of extention leads... you'll want to get plugged into this!
This episode was recorded a few months back, before the UK lockdown.
Recorded long before the UK went into lockdown, Tim and Simon talk torches and get far more mileage out of it than they should.
Enjoy.
Tim and Simon consider how many resources Kevin McAllister would have needed.
A few of those resources feature on these pages!
This was recorded before we weren't allowed to see anyone.
Tim and Simon find themselves in isolation at the same time due to the coronovirus outbreak.
Not a usual Catalogue, more of a chat over Skype, with added alcohol.
But don't worry, it's still very daft.
Tim and Simon recorded a bunch of Catalogues in preparation for now being allowed to get together again anytime soon...
This is the first and it's all about alarms. Have 29 minutes of escapism. Stay safe.
Get ready for Catalogue to climb to new heights as the men from Shropshire talk ladders.
Get serious gains and bulk out your ear muscles with 22 minutes of pure comedy bronze from your pocket... if you have one.
Tim and Simon would like to invite you into their shed of delights.
Feel free to poke the bike, but whatever you do, don't poke the wasp nest!
You can lose weight by listening to this. That's a lie.
Tim and Simon conclude The Tool Saga.
That's the description.
Tim and Simon race towards the end of the tools section, talking scars, steam and serial killers.
This'll spark your pants into action!
Planers, mitre saws and plunge routers.
Tim and Simon both rent and have never had to decorate. It really shows.
This episode has nothing to do with decorating.
Tim and Simon were a bit too late to the party with their Christmas. So please find enclosed a Christmas Special, which isn't that Christmassy!
They felt they had to talk toys on the run up to Christmas so picked up a Smyths Toys Superstore catalogue and went for it!
Tim and Simon talk tools, Tom Selleck and Robot Wars.
They also reference a ghost in the film Three Men and a Baby:

Tim and Simon discuss spanners, glue guns and multimeters.
Can they turn Tim into Batman with the help of the tools page of their Argos Catalogue from 1999?
No. No they can't.
The boys from Salop reach a quarter of century's worth of Catalogue and discover their favourite item of the catalogue so far!
Give it a listen and don't forget to tell a friend.
Tim and Simon find themselves exploring more things that go in your car. Along the way they discuss car mats, Bobby Charlton and blueberry Jaffa Cakes.
It'll all make sense when you listen!
You may have heard him on radio, you may have seen on the internet but now you can hear Tom Campbell doing something you've never heard before:.. Reading an Argos catalogue from 1999.
Expect road rage, broken kettles and eggs.

As promised in Episode 21, Tim and Simon record this episode at Crewe Railway Station.
Expect trains, commuters and PA announcements… oh and they have the Catalogue with them!
Tim and Simon talk all things lights, combination locks and spokey dokeys.
By the way, your combination is 9683. They're on to you.
If you've ever wanted to know about champagne, satanism, the Stonewall Uprising, chaos theory, LSD, El Nino, true crime and Rosa Parks, then look no further. Josh and Chuck have you covered.
