Birthday event

[gems]

The channel stinks of desperation. The lack of variety and absence of guests gives out the impression that they really are on their last legs.

The channels full of lies the GIA just started certifying Jade this year, they think everyone is thick so people believe in Quartzite Jade, when it's just Quartzite nothing else.

I think I've said it before on here, but listing carat weights on filled stones should be illegal.

It's legal deception as the law currently stands.

Totally agree with you. I once watched a documentary from the GIA where one of their experts said that some of fissure filled rubies they tested were 60 percent glass

9pm tonight with Jim... Weigh down your boots!

They've gone all out this year on the "best ever birthday".

No expense spared.

It totally fits in with a jewellery channel too. A trolley token. I wonder if Bulgari, Tiffany's and Monica Vinader do those?

Of course they do NOT!

According to Companies House, Gemporia is late in sending the accounts for this year …

Not a good sign.

Just seen an advert for the birthday event. 1-20 October. What day is it? 21 October. You'dathunk they'd know it's over by now Not that it was anything to write home about. And they still have the birthday gubbins in the studio.

To be fair, it's only the confirmation statement. Their full accounts aren't due yet.

You'd have thought a company of Gemporia's size would be able to get things like that sent in on time though.

Perhaps they're extending the birthday this year in case they're not around to have one next year?

If my memory serves, in the old days, you got the key to the door when 21. So, next year they will give DT a key to the door, then change the locks before he gets to use it

He's on screen that often, I thought he'd already got the key to the door and locked himself in!

Well, at least they are consistent: the birthday event ends today as it went on .... Extremely dull!

Worst ever, the little I saw of it. Just the same old, same old, overpriced tat, nothing new at all.

But Adina said it was the best ever birthday event. I hope you're not suggesting Gemporia presenters would tell fibs?

Would I ever do such a thing?

Laughing but didn't get one either so missed out on a valuable, collectable trolley token! Lol

It's a heirloom piece too

Yes, it's the same purple 'dye' that the ancient Roman Emperors used for their togas. It's priceless: and not the £1 you think it costs.

It’s better quality than some of their jewelry! I’ll try it at Aldi on the weekend.

The guests all seem to have vanished. I suspect it's because Gemporia are no longer buying from the 'guests' (suppliers) - they're probably buying from China.

I don't miss Glenn Lehrer at all - that guy can out-talk Dave Troth. He's a legend in his own mind.

I miss Yianni though. He's entertainment gold - either for putting his foot in it, being caught on camera gazing into Adina's cleavage, or accidentally dropping an F-bomb on air.

I remember last time he was on he couldn’t wait yo get out of there to buy xylitol it’s the artificial sweetener that gives you the squirts if you over do it.

It can do (and it's poisonous to dogs - US food manufacturers, who cram sweeteners into anything, put it in some of their cheaper peanut butters). Sorbitol has the same effect - power through a packet of some types of mints and you'll feel "refreshed" soon enough!

Dont forget to get it valued first in case you lose it......
