If you put your name in here http://www.192.com/ you can see how many of you there are in the country on electoral roll.

I was one of the main people who constructed the London Eye, I'm in a band in America and I'm in an actor from London in a couple of unknown films containing blood, gore, sexuality, nudity and bad language. Don't remember doing them, sounds like fun though.

This is very worrying.

I don't like the fact that you can be traced so easily, for as little as £9. I take it this will give your address too.
Can you imagine if you upset somebody on a review/forum and they find out your name.

I do worry about data protection sometimes.

This is what I came up with:-

***** ******* was born in County Durham in August **** and spent his school years travelling between RAF bases in Germany and England where his father was stationed. By ****, he was living in Los Angeles, California.


In October **** a small time drug dealer Arthur ******** and his girlfriend, Kimberley ****** were stabbed to death. According to the prosecution, ***** ******* was the last person to be seen with the couple. ***** was charged with the couple's murder.
The prosecution is seeking the death penalty, and ***** has been in prison awaiting trial since November ****, despite the fact that the police still have other suspects. ***** has always maintained his innocence of the crimes.

It is expected that *****'s case will go to trial in ****.


Reprieve, together with UK law firm *********** ********* ********, is assisting *****'s public defenders with investigation and with trial preparation.

It wasn't me, honest. :hihi:
