Janice Long mugged for Bunnymen pass

Postby Stuart » Sun Oct 09, 2011 4:54 am

Veteran disc jockey Janice Long was the victim of a bizarre mugging outside her BBC studio – when an attacker punched her in the face and made off with a VIP pass for an Echo And The Bunnymen concert.

The DJ, who had just attended the concert at the London Palladium, was arriving at the BBC’s Broadcasting House in Central London to present her Radio 2 show when the assailant struck.

The pass, which she was wearing around her neck, was the only item stolen.

Daily Mail eh? I bet the assailant was an illegal immigrant with a cat.

Maybe I should stop wearing mine due to its apparent desirability (and I'm starting to get funny looks when I go into Spar every morning to get my paper).

I thought the funny looks might be more to do with the red velvet royal robe that you keep wearing and your golden crown with VIP emblazoned across it in large capital letters.

What a daft story though, and then getting arrested by the rozzers and sent down for a stretch at her majesty's pleasure for nicking a pass for a friggin Bunnymen aftershow party.

That's how they dress to go to Waitrose 'round these parts (apparently Willy Windsor's bird does her shopping there).

Appears so. She's living like a normal person, off to Waitrose (or any supermarket) to get a tin of Waitrose baked beans, toilet duck and a loo roll while surrounded by three plain-clothes rozzers. All normal stuff.

Rita Isidori aged 51 was the attacker?
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

There's a Mac female doppelganger on fuckface who calls herself "Margaux Rita Isidori" "alt wave rock singer songwriter", of Glasgow. Whoever she is and that may not be Rita Isidori, 51, of Gloucester Road, South Kensington, Central London, damn scary picture.
