Yesterday I read my first 2008 newspaper and get back into breaking news after ten Media free days ( my mother believes TV is evil so we’ve never had it at home…I’m not sure she’s that wrong). The news I loved most was about Queen Elizabeth ( 81 years old) playing with the ultimate Nintendo Wii Playstation. Now, couple of observations about that.  

1) I think hi-tech grannies are super cute, but according to me they also look a little weird, like the guy at the post office who has the hairiest face but never forgets to put on his sparkling eye shadow. I mean, you’ve been living for a hundred years, you’ve seen wars, you’re the queen of England…no one wants you to be also hi-tech. Queens aren’t hi - tech. Queens wear hideous pale pink hats and drink tea.  

2) The Wii Elizabeth was playing with was actually Kate Middleton’s Christmas present to William and I’ve never seen a granny stealing her nephew’s Christmas present to use it herself.

3) Now, I could change my mind about hi tech grannies if, at least, the game she played was some very rock n roll game…dunno…Resident Evil or Tomb Raider…something with loads of zombies, a little splatter, a little kinky…dunno. Not at all. She used Ultimate Playstation Wii to play bowling. What? Why? This is not being hi-tech, this is being lazy!
