The Truth About Those Sexy Leather Coats.

Simon Wesley Sting Trev

Simon Wesley Sting Trev

What were we thinking? Well I can tell you pretty much exactly because it wasn’t as long ago as it should be. At the time “Rocky” - the “Hong Kong tailor to the stars” -had just made us some suits for one of our live shows. We thought it would be a great idea to get him to make us leather coats. Simon who had recently seen Blade as I remember was thinking “I’ll look like Wesley Snipes!”. I on the other hand was thinking “I’ll look like Sting in Quadrophenia” (or the other fella who runs the scrapyard) but of course everyone else was thinking…Boyzone!

That sexy leather coat in full

March 10, 2009

In Trev and Simon Podcast No.2, which you can find here, we talk about fashion mistakes. One of them being when the two of us had made-to-measure leather coats. But made to measure what? Here I am in mine, looking like a kindly nazi. Oh, and some other ones too. Reading from left to right; me, Dr.Who, a sexy lady. I wish I could say I had to trawl the web, but it’s amazing what you can pick up at Amazon these days.

Look! I’ve put Leather and Sexy as tags on this post in a desperate attempt to get more people to come and look. Will they be disappointed? I don’t know, but it has given me the urge to poll.


Polar Bear Cake

March 10, 2009

In our second podcast, Trev and Simon Podcast No.2, found here, Trev brought along a coco(a)nut cake. Knowing full well that I do not like coconut! Ok, I’m fussy, but I quickly manufactured an alternative excuse for not eating the muck- think of the poor pig-tailed macaques forced into hard labour collecting the cocoanuts. You don’t believe me? Witness with your own eyes (or anyone’s for that matter) here! Oops! Sorry! I meant here! No, sorry. Here. But I bet you were entertained along the way.

I thought the cake looked like a polar bear, but I was wrong. It looks more like a sun fish. Here’s all three.

Trev and Simon Podcast No.2 is here

We did our second podcast on Thursday, officially called Trev and Simon Podcast No.2. Why’s it taken so long to arrive here I hear you ask (except I don’t)? Well, I forgot what I was doing and had to have a conference call with Andrea our producer, and then we started talking about capybaru’s. You see! It’s not just Trev I can talk rubbish with. So, yes, another hour (actually just under) of two men talking nonsense… last time I compared it to a trip to the pub to listen to two old drunkards. This is more like a stop off on the way to listen to two cider swigging hobos on a park bench… friendly ones though, the type who feed the birds tuppence a bag.

You can listen to/ download it here… Trev and Simon Podcast No.2

That was a serious bit wasn’t it? We pinched that from some people who do a proper podcast.

Here’s what some of our listeners thought of Podcast No.1:

  • I am very happy that you are doing a podcast… Siobhan
  • I want cake… Elaine
  • I make good cakes… Hannah
  • Great podcast guys… Tom
  • Great podcast… Maisie
  • I loved the podcast!!!!… Zoe
  • I loved it most… Mr Kipling
  • VERY VERY funny… James
  • Enjoyed it very much… rambling… epic… nondescript… butts… shirts… much better… BingoTom
  • Better than mine… Ricky Gervais

Ok, I made that last one up and BingoTom’s I edited a bit, but you get the drift. Oh, and I made the Mr Kipling one up.

Here’s another list, lovingly prepared by producer Andrea, who, in an official capacity, has no choice but to listen to the podcast more than once. This time round we talk about…

  1. Podcast number two
  2. Growing old disgracefully
  3. Andrea looking like Nana Mouskouri
  4. Pee Wee’s Big Adventure
  5. Trevor wearing tweed now, Simon wearing tweed at university
  6. Underpants
  7. Mistresses (the TV show)
  8. The Chap and Vic Reeves
  9. Simon’s leather Nazi coat and other fascist fashion trends
  10. Simon’s visit to Woodlands, incl. peak flow and a touchy-feely nurse
  11. Renaming strokes
  12. Trev brings coconut cake which looks like a polar bear, Simon refuses to eat it
  13. Pig-tailed macaques (and their role in the coconut trade)
  14. Trevor’s family bike ride
  15. The Brits
  16. Old people wearing young people’s fashion
  17. Andrea’s new band The Hummingbirds
  18. Questions and comments from our listeners
  19. Genesis, Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins
  20. Glutinous rice
  21. What are the origins of Trev and Simon’s nicknames, ‘Minty’ and ‘Sticky’?
  22. Celebrity ham
  23. Tampons
  24. An update on the Trev And Simon website, blog and Facebook page

That’s 24 things!

As usual (usual? It’s only the second one) it’s all there in its unedited glory. We don’t plan much and we don’t know what we’re going to say but we enjoy ourselves and we hope you enjoy listening to it. Oh, and as usual, this podcast is unsuitable for children… and adults.

Oh, and big apologies to that most excellent Chap, Michael “Atters” Attree for calling him Michael “Atters” Atterby! What was I thinking?

Oh, and for those of you keen to find it on iTunes, it should hopefully find its way there within a couple of days. We’ll keep you posted with a post when they post it.

Oh… that’s it.


Some (well two) pics from Trev and Simon Podcast no.2

March 6, 2009

Yesterday we did podcast number two, and I’m just listening to it to see if it is funny or rubbish. Hopefully it’s both. Until we get it up and out there, here’s a couple of pictures. Not yet of the cake… we’ll save that until you’ve had a chance to hear us talk about it.

As late afternoon descends on Andrea’s flat (Andrea our producer) it sends lovely shafts of sun through the room, and we realised we could recreate the opening titles from “Tales of the Unexpected”, except we didn’t set anyone on fire. So, here’s Andrea throwing some sexy shapes onto Trev.

And we also had a visitor. Andrea’s flat is at the top of a converted Victorian house. Within the other flats are two cats. they’re related and they used to live together. Then their owners had a baby, and one of the cats left, only to move next door. Both of them come up to Andrea’s, meow at her door, come in, mooch around a bit (in both senses of the word… mooch that is, not bit), and go. That’s cats.
