It has no name, no official members, but when disciples discover one another, they are known to create a kind of wonderful panic.
They shout obscenities such as: "for god's sake stop wearing those ugly jeans!", "why are you such a prat?", "forget cordon bleu, your cooking is shite, make some egg and chips!" and "get a job!"
Welcome to the world of Anti-Joyce.
If you're super lucky, you get a badge from one of the founders of this phenomenon sweeping the planet ... in a parcel of joy.Thanks to the super-gorgeous, glorious Clare of Miss Simmonds Says.
Darling Clare found this gorgeous gold sequinned top and sent it to me with a swag of treasures, including a darling 80s turquoise teddy, sequinned belt, glorious badges made by her fair hands, vintage rose postcards and a scrummy black printed summer frock.
Yes people, the appearance of Midsomer Murders' Joyce Barnaby wearing her various mantels of chorister, actor, supporter of the arts, gourmet chef, horticulturalist and generally annoying griege-wearing person brings me out in hives. And our artist-at-large, Clare, has taken full advantage of the situation by creating the Anti-Joyce badge to wear with pride. Jane Wymark is clearly an accomplished actor for her to elicit so much loathing from your leading fan and critic of British murder mysteries. Some of my general mutterings overheard by family: "Oh he's gonna be the first to die." "Is anyone dead yet?" "Just wait, Tom's gonna slip out for a pint and chips." "Fucking aspirer."
Let's get down to business then shall we?
So I wonder what Joyce, champion of the arts, would think of this circus bint visiting Causton.
