Have you lost Whamageddon yet? Don't worry, I'm not going to spoil it for you - no video links here! If you haven't heard of it, the game starts in November when someone mentions it, and you drop out of the game the first time you hear "Last Christmas" by Wham! Are you still in?

There's also variations like DavidEssexAWintersTaleAgeddon, and of course Harkageddon - you lose as soon as your vicar schedules Hark The Herald when it's only the second Sunday in Advent.

You could play HarkHunter, from the great Twitter account @QuireMemes:

Tonight Sarah and I will be losing Harkageddon, but hopefully not Whamageddon, as we are going to the Carol Service at what is officially the UK's nicest Red-brick College in the Snow, Royal Holloway University of London. It narrowly beat Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford as Sarah got more likes on Facebook. Here it is:

Advent Calendar 2025

1st December 2025

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!
