It's a pity, because like many others I suppose, I started with them years ago, buying common cheaper gemstones that you mention, such as white quartz, amethyst, rose quartz and smokey quartz, and collecting different cuts. Some of the cuts were really impressive and unusual, and I formed a...

I think Gem Collector is struggling. Emily's giggling and silly stories are irritating, and IMO some of the information she gives is inaccurate, and Jim isn't a good 'fit' with that channel at all. I think they've lost a lot of the customers that used to buy regularly when Alex presented, you...

As Mark Twain said 'Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, then it doesn't matter.'

Scrub the grime off it and I'll take 10. A bargain.

People get older and that's a fact of life. Having stuff pumped into your face can't change that and IMO usually means you can't smile or blink, either. Is that really an 'improvement'? Barry Manilow or Katie Price? Has it really made them look younger? Don't think so, in fact the opposite...

This is typical of the man's behaviour, so respect to the guest if he did walk off early. Rude and ignorant man. Can you just imagine how he would react if anyone did the same to him? QVC should make an example of him and get rid - that would perhaps show him that he's a nobody. I emailed...

You're right, the grabbing of the freebies is very good training for being a politician. You could even end up as Prime Minister. :LOL:

I think at Clint's age he's well entitled to look old! And having looked at most of those others who have received 'help' from the surgeon, then I know which I think looks worse. All credit to Clint for embracing being older.

Yes, he was her son from when she was married to Robert Stephens, who played opposite her in 'The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie'. I love that film, still watch it. Some great actors in it. Brilliant actress, thanks for the memories, Maggie.

You have to love her, don't you (no, actually, I don't...). She's the Alice Tinker of Gemporia, dim as the proverbial dark night (my Dad used to say 'dim as a Toc H lamp', but I think that was an army saying....)

Me too! I loved the set when I got them as a wedding present, but found them just too unwieldy. Impractical - but at the time they were the bees knees!

In the case of Peters, I would think there are an ever-decreasing number of people who do know who the heck he is (was). He worked on TV in a broom cupboard with a puppet that had more life than him - there you go, I just wrote the CV :ROFLMAO:. How that man gets time on ANY channel I cannot...

Couldn't - the toupee was in for cleaning (get rid, Cliff, just be your age, looks much better....)

Have you heard of a society called Ageing Without Children? AWOC was established in 2014 after an article written in The Guardian by Kirsty Woodard. https://www.awwoc.org/

Silly woman, she really needs to grow up. I've always thought she was frequently quite childish in her manner of presenting, but I guess she thinks it's hilarious, which says a lot.

I'm afraid I think Vicky comes a close second to the never-to-be-forgotten - albeit very brief - reign of Peter Simon. 'It's amethyst - it's purple - it's the shining light of the night sky when the stars twinkle over Alabama' and similar rot.

Strato, another torch? Are you going for the world record? :D

It's a bit sad, really. These presenters who've left might be a 'presence' on social media still, but why a viewer would want to send in Christmas cards, presents and leaving gifts has always escaped me. They are salespeople, that's all.

True, his dancing ability wasn't strong, IMO. Brucie was another one who'd been in showbiz since he was a young kid in his teens, and I think they sometimes thought they were showing the youngsters how it's done by virtue of the fact that they'd been around forever. But if America had better...

Exactly. I went with a group to tour a country house some years ago, and there was a man in his 60's working in the gardens, understandably dressed in cloth cap and scruffy old togs for doing dirty work, down on his knees. Having a quick chat with him and some of the other gardeners around we...
