Fans of the London 2012 Olympics may already have seen these pin badges, which take their lead from the execrable logo and manage to totally deface and deform five Christmas icons - the tree, the snowflake, the snowman, the present and the wreath. If you didn't realise what a money-making opportunity the Olympics are, I defy you to look at the website http://www.londonpins.co.uk where you will see over 300 pins, including one for each London borough!

Hello! We've sort of lost count, but think the first Advent Calendar was back in 2003, the Internet Archive Wayback Machine says it looked like this: Of course all the links are dead, but the thing it has in common with this year's is that it is still coded in HTML, probably the last thing I will ever rely on coding for. Now it looks like this: Happy Advent! We have gone for the Bonne Maman JAM Calendar again this year, after leaving it too late last year and it selling out at both Fenwick and Selfridges! We get a fresh pot of jam every day to enjoy with our tartines and Ovomaltines. We also have the Domino's "Merry Crustmas" leaflet, and a MUJI calendar we'll show you later in the month. Do let us know what you are opening every day! You can leave a message below, or email us your ideas and suggestions for future days at robotmaths@outlook.com Have a great day!
