The name Pippa has taken off since the royal wedding when the world’s attention was on Kate’s sister Pippa Middleton. The name was not well know in the USA and has now seen a spike in use since the event!
Royal Wedding Patriotism
Over a third of us have had our spirits lifted by the Royal Wedding. We also like to be patriotic about our history, the NHS and the Armed Forces in Britain.
What makes you proud to be British?
Although, on the flip side, drunken Brits abroad, football hooliganism and reality shows like ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ make people embarrassed to be British according to a recent survey.
Jimmy Carr has summed up reality TV show very succinctly in a Tweet.
Geordie Shore. Only way is Essex. Made in Chelsea. Say what you like but at least Big Brother had the decency to lock these people up.
Love Your Technology?
We treat our technology in different way. The TV is like an old friend that you can rely upon and is there for you when you need it. The PC is like a sibling as you like to learn from it, show off to it and sometimes even compete with it. The smartphone has been compared to a new lover as it’s the one device that we feel closest too. I couldn’t live without mine!
What can be chipped but still left intact, and hooked but not caught?
