Between 1987 and 2000 TransUnion were involved in action that went against the rules of the industry to which it belongs. It is a credit reporting company in America, which means it should adhere to the Federal Credit Reporting Act.
But it sold confidential credit information about customers to marketing companies that used that information to target campaigns. By breaking the laws of the Federal Credit Reporting Act they have left themselves open to be sued for damages.
The attorneys working for at O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath have picked up a lot experience in these cases. They have proven to be well positioned to handle such TransUnion claims.
Considering that, if you were one of the people who applied for credit in America during the years stated you could be in a position to seek a Transunion Settlement. Click the link and have a look at the intake form for a free consultation.

Cinema Laws
I went to see The A-Team film today. It's a Wednesday so I got the tickets on the cheap.
It was a great film, lots of fun and nothing too serious. It's just what you expected it would be. Recently I saw Remember Me so it was nice to watch another film that wasn't filled with mood and bitterness (and lot's of depression).
On the way into the cinema we were stopped and had our bags searched. Can they do that? Really! We hear in the news that the police might lose their ability to stop and search. They're the police and they soon will not have the right to look in your bag without good reason, but some spotty-faced gimpoid working for the Cineworld can insist on seeing what you have with you.
We also hear that the police may lose the right to hold someone for 28 days without prosecution. Don't worry, I'm sure they can trap you in a cinema for that long. If you go to see a Kevin Costner film you'll be in there for at least that long.

Toxic Macadamia Nuts
I was on the way back from an evening of work, after a long day when I hadn't eaten. I was very hungry and stopped at a service area but I didn't want to eat some fattening burger or chocolate snack. I thought I'd get some macadamia nuts. Yeah, nuts are known to be a healthy snack. I got home, feeling all healthy, and I went to sleep.
About an hour after I fell asleep I woke up with some terrible stomach pains. I then spent the rest of the night doing thing that I will only describe as “both ends”.
The next day I took to Google to see what I had. I thought I might have a macadamia nuts allergy but the symptoms of that are all about hives and swelling. I didn't have any of that.
But then I found a site that mentioned the symptoms I actually suffered. It listed vomiting, weakness, depression, diarrhea, difficulty walking, and muscle tremors.
I had all of those. So I clicked on the link to see what I had only to find that it was a list of symptoms that dogs get when they are fed macadamia nuts. They're toxic to dogs and I have the same problem. Basically, I am medically like a dog.
No wonder I love a good walk.

Midas Touch
Do you remember the story of Midas? People say "he's got the Midas touch" when they talk about people who are successful, but that's not the take home message from that story. His life was ruined. He thought he wanted to be able to turn everything he touched into gold, but when he got it he hated it. Imagine what it would be like. You go to the toilet and try to wipe... well, you can see the problem.
He would also have hated that gift because he didn't understand the nature of supply and demand. If everything he touched turned to gold, gold would become very common and the price of it would drop. He might as well be turning things into tin.
It's supply and demand that has helped the price of gold and silver recently. It's a good time for silver at the moment as world demand for silver now exceeds annual production, just as it has every year since 1990.
You can buy gold coins, silver ingots and other precious metals at www.usgoldbureau.com if you're interested.

Posh Blindfold
I read that Posh Spice bought an expensive blindfold for the bedroom. (It was in the News of the World, so it must be true, right?)
Firstly, why? Most women would love to see what David Beckham looks like when he's getting down to it. Why would you want to miss out on seeing that?
If you have a normal bloke with his chubby belly and hairiness, I can understand splashing out on some eye protection. But Becks spends all day working out. It's wasteful.
But why spend the money on a blindfold for sex? If you don't like what you see, Victoria, just face the other way.
Actually, maybe that's a bad idea. But those football chants would be proved right.

Weather
We have had some great weather recently, which is rare for the UK. In fact the sun visits the UK so infrequently it can claim non-dom status and avoid paying tax on its overseas earnings.
But with nice sun comes hot conditions. It's been sweaty. But you can't say that. Apparently we don't sweat. There is that old saying, "Women glow, men perspire and horses sweat."
Really? In that case, I saw a woman who was out for a jog the other day. She had a really big glow patch on her back and under her pits. Is that more polite?

Golden Times For Silver
Check out the United States Gold Bureau (the web address is below) where you can buy silver, gold or other precious metals and coins. You get them sent to you (or an independent bank or depository) where you can look after your investment.
You can buy silver bullion or coins and now is an interesting time to do it. The global demand for silver is now greater than annual production and the stockpiles of silver bullion that are above ground are low. All of this helps to push the price up. And the stocks continue their shrinking and approach zero the situation will be better for those who hold silver investments.

Traffic
I was travelling back from a nearby town the other day (don't worry, I wasn't driving, or taking this picture would've been tricky) and I saw this in the traffic light's queue in front of us.
Click to have a look at the bigger picture. Just in case you can't tell, it's a massive articulated lorry with a large crane attached to the back. That's all very well, but notice the L plates!
There are some learners you really don't want to get stuck behind. And if the instructor makes him do a three-point turn...

Dog Walking
I was walking in South London the other night, on the way to a gig, when I walked past a phone box and noticed that something was stuck on the wall. I walked back and had a proper look and I saw this...
I'll tell you something, the prostitutes in the Putney area are getting worse.
And you know what those cards in phone boxes are like, even if you get that desperate that you have to pay for it, you'll ring the number, turn up at the house and find out that the dog in the picture doesn't actually work for them. Typical!
