13th December 2024

Friday 13th, which some might think unlucky, but to us just means we are halfway through our seasonal cornucopia of tidbits.

Let's have some terrible cracker jokes. First of all, this incomprehensible (but factual) motto:



The annual Christmas Cracker Joke competition, as reported in the Guardian, had these Top Ten voted for by the British public. Topical yes, but funny? Ah well.

What gifts will Sir Keir get this Christmas?
None, he’s had enough!
(yes, that was apparently Number One)

Why are pensioners bulk buying-brussels sprouts this Christmas? 
It’s the only way they’ll keep the gas flowing this year

Why is Rachel Reeves in the Nativity this year? 
She’s collecting inn-heritance tax.

Why is Santa worried about being stalked? 
He’s surrounded by baby reindeer

Who’s Santa’s favourite member of Oasis? 
Noel

Why does Father Christmas find going down chimneys easier this year? 
He’s on Ho Ho hozempic.

Why aren’t there more jokes about receiving Oasis tickets for Christmas? 
Most people won’t get them.

What do you call a Belgian reselling tickets at inflated prices? 
A Brussels tout.

What’s the Thames Water advent calendar like? 
It’s full of number 2s.

Why did Gareth Southgate get into difficulty with the Christmas Club money? 
He was always late with his subs.

You might have thought Germaine Greer was bad-tempered, but you never met her sister, Anne.

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!
