I'm always checking Google for info on Mandana. I go through the search site about every other month, and if I'm particularly bored, I'll click on random links and go through 40-50 pages at a time. I found this about six months ago and meant to mention it, because Roman and I had a good laugh about it:  That would explain why she doesn't have to work very much.  Now, let me stress- we are NOT saying this is "our" Mandana Jones. We're not even pretending to hint at it. I can't be more clear than that! I'm just posting it because, as I said, we had a laugh over it. Now, is it possible it's her? We have no idea. Again, we have no idea. (I feel it's important to repeat that, just so people who are accustomed to other folks vaguely claiming they may or may not know something about Mandana don't get confused! ) It's just one of those odd things you find when you're bored! ;D That being said, I have blacked out the identifying information, not only of the website, but the phone number as well. Whether or not it's "our" Mandana, this woman doesn't need people phoning her up to find out. For those savvy enough to figure out the website, I suspect I don't have to ask, but I will anyway- please do not make an attempt to contact this woman. Unless you're seriously considering renting the place. |

Don't want to take the wind out of your sails guys but this site was 'discovered' quite awhile ago (a couple of years?) with attendant speculation.  I believe it said there were facilities for children (high chairs? I forget). It definitely would be a nice source of income! Lovely view over the pool.... |

Yes I remember this being found a couple of years ago as well..I have always wondered if a certain other website ever found it as well...you can bet if they did that they called the phone number.  |

Yes, it was discovered a couple of years ago by a private board some of us belong to. Didn't Mandana once not attend a BG event (Crash) because she had to go to France instead?? We also found this: www.ibiza-voice.com/news/news.php?id=913I think I did put this up on here once before and no one commented Maybe you didn't all spot the name of the author of the piece..... There is, however, a poor lady called Mandana Jones who is a professor at Brunel University. She teaches Physiotherapy. I seem to recall that she used to come up on google searches. She, now, appears to have changed her contact details to Mandy Jones - suggesting she was probably bombarded with requests for autographs!!!! |

Sails deprived of departing wind.  This is what I get for coming into the fandom late. Stupid geography! Nah, I figured someone must have seen it- it says the property's been listed since March 2006. Did you guys discover it earlier? (It may have been removed then relisted again.) This... and this... are exactly why I not only blocked out the key information, but also made the request that people don't try and contact her if they find out the key information. I think the members here are sensible enough folk, but who knows how many lurkers we get? I would hope they would have the courtesy to leave the poor woman alone. I've always wondered how those phone calls would go... MJ: Hello? Fan: Hi! Is this Mandana Jones? MJ: Yes. Fan: Hi!! Oh my god! I loved you in Bad Girls!! You were so good as Nikki Wade!! (Real)MJ: Thank you. Fan: ... RMJ: ... Fan: Oh my god, I can't believe I'm talking to you!! RMJ: What's your name? Fan: [name] RMJ: Well thank you so much for calling, [name]. Fan: Okay. RMJ: Bye. Or... MJ: Hello? Fan: Hi! Is this Mandana Jones? MJ: Yes. Fan: Hi!! Oh my god! I loved you in Bad Girls!! You were so good as Nikki Wade!! MJ: Sorry? Fan: You played Nikki Wade on Bad Girls! MJ: No, sorry. You've got the wrong Mandana Jones. Fan: Oh. MJ: Bye. I don't quite understand what the fan hopes to get out of it, besides freaking out the actor. Same with mailing things directly to their home. While I understand that more (you think you'll have a better chance of getting a reply if you send it to a personal address rather than the professional one), it's still freaky! I'd be looking over my shoulder every time I put the key in the lock! |

I also saw it sometime back and didn't know what to make of it. But since the telephone no was revealed decided to keep shtum. ;D If some over enthusiastic fan had decided to post this ad on Splodgy. I'm certain Scolder-in-chief would've deleted the post and sent a threatening PM to the unsuspecting poster.  |

It does, kind of, suggest that the name Mandana Jones is more common than you would think!
I have a friend called Michael Palin. It's true. In my time, I have come across a Jennifer Saunders and Sharon Stone too.
