According to The People, England’s Prince William has had to share his Christmas present with his grandmother.  The Queen has apparently been taken with Nintendo’s charming doohickey.  The People quoted a palace source saying: "[The Queen] played a simple ten-pin bowling game and by all accounts was a natural…And although she is 81, the Queen’s hand-eye co-ordination was as good as somebody half her age."

Operating against the cliche, the Queen has been known to enjoy the latest technology, owning an iPod, consistently upgrading her mobile phone and BlackBerry, and even setting up her own email account.

Maybe this will convince my father to stop keeping a paper address book.  Seriously, the man practices his penmanship for fun.
