William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 25/09/2026After tasting this year's editions of five out of the six Oktoberfest beers, I'm calling it: Augustiner is best. And one of the greatest beers in the world. 110
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Picked this up yesterday for two quid in a charity shop. The errors (Steptoe was a "dustman" and Life of Brian was "a cruel parody of the life of Christ", for example) aren't even the worst bit. Some of his judgements are utterly bizarre. 130

William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Her bit is quite progressive, calling out absolutely insane stuff like this. (I can't find the other clips I took from the book, unfortunately.) But she also chose to include some absolute scum, so... the ruling class, y'know? 100
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 14/08/2026This is what Nougat - the caretaker's cat on this French campsite - thinks of the current heatwave. 170
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Finally acquired a proper Pelforth goblet glass. One step closer to that dream life as a postal worker in Armentières. 050
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Exclusive: Neighbourhood cat "has right idea about all this" 020
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Not Our Cat likes to watch us at breakfast, disapprovingly. 040
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 05/06/2026The Neighbourhood Cat With The Ron Mael Look visited us over breakfast this morning. #totp 0142
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Signed up with Lingopie to improve my French. Turns out it's a bit more hardcore than Duolingo. 011
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 27/04/2026Happy International Crow and Raven Appreciation Day to all who celebrate 140
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 23/04/2026This woman is giving folk with double-barrelled surnames from Mumbles a bad name 020
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 30/03/2026Ain't no swag like "Dad clearing out the spare room" swag 020
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Still operating by the look of it, though no opening hours on the door and deserted today. It was often like that even in the 90s. I suspect the window display has been there for a while... 100
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Thirty-one years ago, I lived in the third-floor garret above this shop - and it looks exactly the same as it did in 1995. I fear for the day when I come back to this street and Unicorn isn't here. 120
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 25/12/2025"You're throwing away this carcass? This delectable chicken carcass?" 130
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 25/12/2025Merry Christmas. If anyone wants me, I'll be in the armchair with this lot. 040
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 04/12/2025Yep, we all remember Mr Humphries in Are You Being Served? and his cheeky catchphrase: "Arbeit macht freeee!" 010
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 26/10/2025Leafing through this weekend's South Wales Evening Post, and there's a most unfortunate clock-up in Mal Pope's column. 062
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 16/10/2025Well, then. I went a bit further forward in the newspaper archive. It's fair to say this story takes some unpredictable turns. 030
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 16/10/2025Not sure whether this is the original or the re-recorded version. If the latter, it's apparently one of Steve Coogan's less celebrated achievements. 110
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 16/10/2025So, who remembers the Rhondda Rhant Rhap from 1991? Made using a leaked hot-mic of Neil Kinnock and James Naughtie, banned in the High Court by the BBC, a "sure-fire Christmas number one", never troubled the charts. And not available anywhere online... 240
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 14/10/2025Ford Madox Ford and TV-am's Mike Morris are actually the same person 020
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 02/10/2025I've been using a placeholder image of John Oates as I rebuild my professional website, and I may just leave it there. 2100
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 25/09/2025Have a break. Have a coffee and a first perusal of the new one from @whenisbirths.bsky.social 041
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 14/09/2025Yep - Hymie Gouldman! When I did a printmaking class a few years back, it was a natural choice for my sloganeering... 010
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 12/09/2025Yeah, I'm not going to join in the ribbing of Jason's hair. #totp 160
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 22/08/2025"There's no good in walking mile after mile, when you get much more at Glamorgan Tiles" 010
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 10/07/2025The face I'm submitting to Bluesky for verification. 140
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 08/07/2025Pulled from sale "in the interests of good taste" in 1984. Think you're safe to release it now, lads 020
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 06/07/2025BBC will no longer broadcast “high risk” performances. 020
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 01/07/2025We got adopted by the janitor's cat on the campsite in France last year. His name turned out to be Nougat. 130
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 30/06/2025When Willie Rushton stood for Parliament against Sir Alec Douglas-Home, this was his campaign poster. I don't think anyone on the Tory front bench suggested he should be prosecuted for it. 062
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 23/06/2025"What's a poster you had up in your room growing up?" 000
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Once dressed as Demis for a fancy-dress party. It was mildly alarming. 060
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Quote a record that you found in your parent’s collection when you were young. Of its time, as they say. 110
William Ham Bevan @hambevan.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Citroens used to have a big red warning light ominously marked STOP in the middle of the dashboard. I'm imagining a scenario where Monsieur Citroen flicks a switch in Paris and they all start flashing at once 042
