Oh Gee4, I can’t stop laughing at your comment 
So true. I flicked over from another channel to see Ellis in fits over the Jewellery boxes being on 3 for 2 . Don’t know what’s happened, shouldn’t happen etc etc. oddly enough that’s the same offer that was on in the week. Obvs Ellis and The Hayleygig didn’t get the memo.

Have you seen Dave Troth's video demonstrating the queen conch? Apparently, he needed to be shirtless, tanned with his long hair down in the ocean to do it. I hope you're all swooning

Can’t believe they are still trying to shift those exclusive pieces!! What’s wrong with peopleHave you seen Dave Troth's video demonstrating the queen conch? Apparently, he needed to be shirtless, tanned with his long hair down in the ocean to do it. I hope you're all swooning
Yesterday and today Dave has graced our screens with biblical, Sandwana emeralds. Was anyone tempted? The prices were too rich for my blood and I dislike cabochons so I wasn't. And what do you think about Dave's claim that he is taking on high jewellers like Tiffany's with his David Harry Collection? Are you impressed l?

He's really earning his money just lately isn't he? Seems like he's never off the screen!
What a "treat" that is for those who can't stand him. He is on air as I write this, selling Columbian emeralds. If the schedule is right, he will be there for 3 hours, selling emeralds and then, of course, jade

I switch channels as soon as I see him. But that's true for Angeline, Ellis, Hattie, Lyn, Jess, Lyndsay, Jake and Poppy. Or Jainey "Zelda from Terrahawks" Bennett touting any old crap with bits of cheap stones stuck in them.
I don't really have Gemporia on that much these days.
I could have sworn he was on Gems yesterday around 10 am, then 3 pm, and then nearly 10pm. Does he ever go home? When I see him I just turn over. Can't stand having to listen to him droning on for at least half an hour before they even start selling. Then the female presenter hanging on his every word. Bet she's thinking, you don't 'arf go on and on. Give it a rest and just sell the flipping jewellery.

They are advertising the final jade show of the birthday at 9pm. That will be until all the shows where they say 'we were supposed to have this for the birthday....'
Dave has a special one hour show which started tonight at 8pm for some Morganite which is apparently rarer than hens teeth.
It’s now 8.22 and I haven’t seen a single piece of jewellery yet because him and Adina haven’t managed to stop wittering on since the show started. Absolutely ridiculous

They normally waffle on for at least 15 minutes before getting going, but you would think they would get the jewellery on pre-order so you can at least look what is coming up, its mind blowing how long he can drone on for

I know, he always witters for about 30 minutes and then he starts on his clocks

I remember back in the better days of Gems TV something Steve Bennett used to say about air time costing money and that’s why they need to sell their pieces quickly in this format. I just don’t understand how it’s financially viable for them to spend up to 45 minutes just talking with no sales. Does all that talking actually result in more people buying?

If all the presenters and guests are doing are yakking at each other, or the presenter and the gallery and/floor staff are more concerned with having a chat and ignoring doing their actual jobs, then I turn over.
If Dave Troth, Jake Thompson or Toby Cavill are just droning on and on to camera, then I automatically change channels. I do the same with TJC: life's far too short to sit through a lecture or the presenters' catch-up with backroom staff to then get presented with an overpriced piece of jewellery consisting of inferior stones that have been irradiated/heated/coated/dyed to within an inch of their lives and set in literally gold or silver foil.
And that's if it isn't beauty, clothes, homewares, supplements or gardening stuff. My money is pretty much safe, I think

I flick over and the endless droning on, I just move on. Life is too short waiting for Dave etc to actually start showing jewellery.
When he finally shut up, he presented us with ridiculously overpriced morganite, so for me it was a waste of time. Jake's amethyst in silver was even worse. Later on they sold a diamond ring in gold for the same price. It makes no sense. Well, it seems to me that I will not be buying anything in this event.
