Vicky Goes On - and On

25/12/2022

The Grinch hated Christmas. The whole Christmas season. Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason. Vicky and James try to discover why, what and, most importantly, Whos. There have been a few adaptations over the years, but which is the best? Maybe it's all, no version of the Grinch t...

26/06/2022

Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters, Star Wars, Candyman, The Walking Dead, The Office... Every flipping thing is a remake or sequel nowadays. But is that a bad thing? Or just a boring thing? Vicky and James discuss.

30/05/2022

Vicky's midlife crisis intensifies as she turns 40 and is overwhelmed by there being too much of everything. James agrees. We discuss places that are the coolest, the furthest, the best for professionals, and the best for families in London. According to James - nowhere.

25/02/2022

Vicky and James discuss folklore and urban legends as heard from your friend's sister's cousin. Did you know that if you walk under a street sign you will become gay? That's what we heard.

21/12/2021

For many of us the school nativity is our first taste of stage time. Were you a Joseph or did you fall off the stage as a member of the choir? Here we find out what happened to James. Vicky and James pitch a Quantum Leap Nativity cross-over and rewrite a pop song in a bid for Christmas Number One. M...

23/08/2021

Vicky uses her personal experience to give James advice about what to do if he's ever arrested. With diversions into TV theme tunes and how good they used to be and whether or not a bourbon is a chocolate biscuit (it's not).

25/06/2021

Now that James is a dad we discuss fatherhood, Father Christmas, appropriate movies and being present at the birth. Is James taking to his new role? Yes. Will Gremlins be a good movie to show a child? Probably not.

24/03/2021

Let's go back to the future, past, present again and discuss Vicky's favourite of the trilogy (and it IS a trilogy). With a diversion into s*x with cartoons because why not? To be concluded...

12/02/2021

Beset by internet problems and emotional (and technical) pauses, Vicky talks succinctly about grief in the wake of her mum's death and James has a date with Barney the Chimney Sweep.

22/12/2020

Vicky and James discuss yuletide, scumbags, maggots, faggots and peas, whilst also musing over the song writing ability of George Michael and Quality Street versus Roses chocolate. A special long arsed edition to listen to over the festive season - cause what other plans do we actually have?! Merry....

25/11/2020

Starting with wigs and ending with foxes, we discuss the first of the Back to the Future Trilogy, 'Space Man from Pluto'. How did Marty and Doc become friends? Do we care? Is it really so unlikely that George and Lorraine do not recognise their son as 'Calvin Klein'? (answer: no, it's not).

30/10/2020

Starting with a lot of food talk, Vicky and James go on and on about all things spooky, ooky and Halloween-y. Attempting to answer such deep questions like "is a Halloween movie one set at Halloween or any scary movie?" and the use of "fancy dress party" vs "costume party" and what makes us human.

29/09/2020

Vicky quizzes James about being a man in 2020. So bear in mind this is just one woman and one man's views. Email us at [email protected] if you would like to argue the toss. Or if you're Paul Rudd.

25/08/2020

Vicky goes on and on about the Coronavirus (Part 2). A bumper episode where we catch up with what's going on with lockdown, rules, how we're coping and what on Earth is going on. 2020. What a year.

03/08/2020

Vicky and James ramble through a host of the crazier conspiracy theories and do a lot of singing. Includes wondering about whether Billy of the bookcase is a victim of s*x trafficking, and pondering whether it matters if the earth is flat. Correction: It's Katy Perry (not Taylor Swift) who is appare...

On and a thorough discussion of and

Vicky's all consuming thoughts about the Dolly Parton song 'Jolene' reach fever pitch in this exploration about who she is, what's the deal with Dolly's marriage, feminism, and much more. Includes James's breathtaking knowledge of Dolly Parton. Who knew he was such a fan?

23/06/2020

Vicky goes on and on about nostalgia. A look at the past with an eye on the future. Was music and TV better when we were children? Is the singularity coming? Can it hurry up?

17/04/2020

Going on and on about religion this time...

Vicky goes on and on about religion but gets confused a lot. A rapid breakdown of some of the religions of the world, and throughout time, with a hint of smashing the patriarchy. And we learn a great expression from James - remember you heard it here first.

I wrote a thing about pubs: https://vickygoesonandon.blogspot.com/2020/04/on-pubs.html

Hey, you. YOU. Remember pubs? It's only been 2 weeks since the "lockdown" but I feel like my memory is fading and I feel as though my memor...

The podcast

Vicky goes on and on about various topics from politics, the best Batman, Coronavirus, religion and not being a dick. Helped by her friend James - who tends to disagree - this is a podcast for and about people chatting down the pub....

25/03/2020

James and I are going to be launching our Vicky Goes On and On podcast soon. Do you have any topics you're particularly keen to hear me banging on about?

Today I wrote a thing about social distancing on my birthday
https://vickygoesonandon.blogspot.com/2020/03/on-social-distancing-on-my-birthday.html

So, we're in lockdown. All the pubs are closed but there is still booze in the supermarkets and I'm grateful that this has happened at a tim...
