Facebook Phobia

Just how safe is the Internet for our children? (photo by J Vaughan)
Apple's in store policy allows anyone to access the web, without restriction. Should parental controls be applied in store? Can Facebook be more secure for youngsters?

What would you do if your character received a total assassination on Facebook and the person pulling the trigger happened to be your very own child? That was the dilemma facing one divorced father of two when a rather horrific accusation of paedophilia popped up on his oldest daughter’s Facebook page. George R Vaughan decided to take a closer look and was alarmed by what he discovered.

EyePet

EyePet
EyePet - certainly better suited for younger children. Teach your pet to fly. EyePet: The pet with personality.
The virtual pet finally comes of age as Sony release their new Eye-Pet onto the PS3 market. George R Vaughan took a look inside the box of the pet that comes house trained and kiddie focused and asks if this the first step towards a new era of user interaction.

 

Family Fare – Ripley’s Believe It Or Not

The
It's Not Just The Natural History Museum That Has Dinosaurs! An American Icon

Ripley’s Believe It or Not” may not have the same significance here as it does in the United States but that shouldn’t stop people from paying a visit to one of the truly amazing attractions running in London at present. George R Vaughan took a closer look and came away wiser and certainly converted by the sights on display.

Your Best Girlfriends

Family Fare - Pasaje Del Terror

Pasaje Del Terror - Enter if you dare...
Terror comes to The Trocadero

We all like to be scared. The continued popularity of horror in entertainment mediums such as cinema, TV, literature and computer games simply reinforces that fact. But when George R Vaughan paid a visit to Pasaje Del Terror he got a little more than he bargained for!

Family Fare - Thinktank

Walking with Dinosaurs at Thinktank
The Thinktank museum in Birmingham The Legolabs at Thinktank

It’s not just London that has the pick of the museums. As George R Vaughan discovered there’s a rather fantastic place to enchant as well as educate the kids in Birmingham that more than gives the capital’s best a run for their money. For an entertaining day out we would encourage you all to step inside the Thinktank.

Family Fare - Two Very Different Museums

The Kew Bridge Steam Museum
The Kew Bridge Steam Musem - More interesting than you might imagine The Bovington Tank Museum Tanked Up!

Mention museums to your kids and unless its dinosaurs or space flight, your going to be hard pressed to get them interested. Poppy Watt decided to take a different approach with two less famous locations that might not sound as appealing but certainly have as much to give.  

The National Portrait Gallery

The National Portrait Gallery
Gay Icons The Upper Gallery
Art is for everyone and as Poppy Watt discovered when she visited the National Portrait Gallery, there is something for people of all ages.

 

Family Fare - Kew Gardens

Climbers & Creepers at Kew Gardens
