Thanks again, GC. I must decide what I want to do... there's the question of my "padparadscha" sapphires, too! Trouble is I'm so busy right now I'm only thinking about this stuff when I drop in here and then I'm off on a tangent again.

Bad news, bad news, indeed! I too am a fan of Derek.... and his presenting style. I suppose it is a case of the man wanting to rise onwards and upwards in his career path....for which I wish him every suucess. Hope he is going somewhere where I will see him, though!! Best of luck in all you...

Thnak you Fluff, no probem, only just got back here myself ! Gem Cherub, I didn't think to search online....getting dim! I know that these treatments can be fairly common ...but my ruby wasn't as inexpensve as a treated stone should have been, if you know what I mean! It was a good deal if...

Oh, Poop! I had thought that the problem might have been after the Bennetts left....I really must check the date......will need to call the Time Team to help me sort through the deep litter system that is my filing cabinet!

Fluff, PPC: can I ask you how long ago you bought your M. rubies? I bought one when Steve Bennett was still involved with Gems, in fact I bought it when he was presenting, but I haven't checked the date yet... and I'm wondering if I should be worried!

Thanks ,Graham, if I see it again I'll make a note.

Oh, yes, that would be good! I've just been back to see if it is showing now but it's turned inot Marks and Spencers!!! :mysmilie_17:

Rather ironically, as I was reading this thread, there appeared on one of the googleAd banners....itan Advert for Fur Coats, clicking on it lead to a list of suppliers.... I tried to take it as a screen grab, and it showed in my ACDSEE editing but has not saved as a readable file. It was in...

I'm with you there, Briolay, want to meet me for a Baggay for lunch with my pal, who is a brunay?:mysmilie_81::mysmilie_81: It SO irritating I could throw something!

Ah, KB,I don't think I ever properly congratulated you on your graduation, with honours, from the William McGonnigle school of creative writing...... It was the Ernie Wise prize wot you won, was it not? Since we're having a little whinge on the "naming of parts".... so to speak.... the...

I have a large ruby, a siberian emerald and a "majestic" tanzanite from gems..... now I'm doubting the quality of them all. I bought the ruby and the emerald "from" Steve B when he was presenting.... do you folks think the problems go back that far? PS..... Been away from the site for a while...

..... because other channels are not Family owned and Family run..... when it is the Bennett's name that is on the line there will always be this standard of CS..... it's what makes Family run businesses so FAB!!

I'm late in finding this thread, so I hope Dear Katharine, that you are still around to read this? I have never been other than impressed by your efficiency and professional attitude to your work and also by your friendly and kind nature. I have no doubt that whatever life holds for you in the...

RocksTV on TV!! Here is thetext of an email from The Bennets at Rocks: So, you see that anyone wishing to stick with the Web site and WebFeed will be able to do that, while there will also, soon, be the opportunity for Sky viewers to enjoy the channel on TV ..... Best of all worlds, I...

I saw Adina sell both a large amethyst ring and a similar ring but with blue topaz, last night. She said when selling the amethyst version ( HUGE stone, quite fancy silver setting) that some had been sold earlier and these were the very last ones, so one chance to get them...... then said that...

My goodness, Miss Magpie.... now that is a pretty bargain in anyone's language! Well found!

At least the price is going in the right direction! :tongue2:

An update: a couple of days after I contacted Gems about these earrings, I received an email telling me that the items had been removed from the website while they looked inot the details etc. Today I have had a phone call from Andrew at Gems, thanking me for bringing this to their attention...

We live in hope! I cannot watch/listen to Carol or Jamie .... it would be bliss to have truly competent presenters on board!:clapping::tongue2:

Matt MacManara ? I thought his name was MacNamara? Anyway.... It'll be great to see these two accomplisehed presenters back on screen ! Cheers, Guys!
