I heard through the grapevine that Gems is to have a new presenter very soon - or should that be an old presenter? :thinking:
Is it me, Klos? Ooooo, how exciting! I've been practising my Gems-Speak:
"This is a visionary necklace..."
"How ger-lam-orous is this? It's really ger-lam-orous, look at the amaaazing ber-lacks, and the amaaaazing ber-lues, it looks really Autumn-er-nal...It's not fake, it's not per-lastic, it's genuine, genuine jade. LOOK AT THAT PRICE! YOU WON'T SEE THIS ON THE HIGHSTREET, NO WAY WILL YOU SEE THIS ON THE HIGHSTREET! AT THIS PRICE? NO WAY! It's not fake, it's not per-lastic, it's genuine, genuine jade, and look how ger-lam-orous it is..."
"Phenomenal is the only word for this piece. Awesome is the only word for this piece. Stunning is the only word for this piece. Amazing is the only word for this piece."
"Oh, my word, (scratch head), oh, my word, OH, MY Word, (scratch head and have a quick chinwag with Sheridan), this is a real flippin' boutique ring, this right, you know what? this, this ring is the sort of huge look you see in Vogue, oh, my word, flippin' 'eck, this is rockin' out tonight, look at it GO! It's flying out the door, you know what? I don't flippin' blame you. Oh, my word. A lot of people wanna buy into the whole Tiffany's thing, and you know what? that's what you can do right now, flippin' 'eck, all that flippin' history, I mean, OH, MY WORD! Yeah, baby, that was flippin' amaaazing. Oh, my word." (Scratch head and have a quick chinwag with Tom)
"And what can we see in this amethyst? I can see clarity and amaaaazing colour, can you? Have you EVER seen anything like this on the highstreet? I know I haven't. You need to get on the phones now. You need to get on the phones now. You need to get on the phones now. I have 5 chances. I have 5 opportunities. I have 5 chances. 5 chances. WOW, LOOK AT THAT AMAAAZING PRICE! OHHH, I'VE GOT A SORE THROAT.Well done. Well done. Well done. Can anyone tell me what's happening on Strictly Come Dancing?"
"You're joking! You're joking! How many are we putting into the auction? What price are we going to? NO! I'M JUST GOING TO HAVE TO RUN TO THE GALLERY TO CHECK THAT THIS IS RIGHT. IT IS RIGHT! IT IS RIGHT! Oh, my goodness, THIS IS SO EXCITING, OH, I'VE GOT BUTTERFLIES IN MY STOMACH, THIS IS GOING TO BE THE MOST AMAAAAZING AUCTION I THINK I'VE EVER DONE HERE AT GEMS.

"Now, we all know that tanzanite is rare - that's just a fact. So how can we bring it to you at these amazing, these superb, these phenomenal prices? How? Because that's what we do here at Gems, my friends. £54!!!! DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY, MY FRIENDS. DIAL NOW! DIAL NOW! What an amaaazing price for a gemstone that's so rare, so rare it only comes from one place in the world, my friends, and you've just bought into the tanzanite story."
"Stunning, stunning piece. Stunning piece. Stunning. Be very quick, very quick indeed, don't miss this stunning piece, this stunning, stunning piece. (Make sure that long, dirty, ragged fingernails are clearly in shot) Well done to each and every one of you. To each and every one of you. Great price. Absolutely bonkers price. Great, great price. Stunning piece. Well done to each and every one of you, to each and every one of you."
"I've been checking the prices of bracelets like this online. Look at this: Multi-gem? Yes. Bracelet? Yes. Good price? You tell me. This one sold for $500 yesterday afternoon, $500. $500. Bear that price in mind. Here's another one which sold for $599 this morning. $599 this morning. We're not going anywhere near that price today. Today, we are giving you the absolute deal of a lifetime. 200 of you are going to get the deal of a lifetime, and you are not going to be paying $500. This is going to be the biggest auction ever, and you are going to be a part of history..."
" I don't like to use the word deal in relation to jewellery, but this is a steal of a deal, a steal of a deal. I've got fake pearls, but these aren't fake, these aren't plastic, these are real, genuine pearls. And that's just our first crash; oh, my goodness, this is amaaazing. Don't miss out.

"Right guys, let's just talk about this ring for a minute, guys. Look how gorgeous it is. Wow, guys, this is really gorgeous. £44 GUYS! £44!

LOWEST EVER PRICE, GUYS!"
"Are you absolutely sure that this should be in the under £30 hour? Are you absolutely, absolutely sure? Cos ah think we've made a huge mistake. No way should this be under £30, we're gunnah gerrinter serious trouble when Steve finds out. AND AT £29, IT'S YOURS FOR JUST £29, WE'VE GONE UNDER THURTY POUNDS ON THIS, IT SHOULD BE SELLIN' FOR ABOUT £199, NEVER MIND UNDER £30! GREAT FOR YOU, NOT SO GREAT FORRUS. AH CAN'T BELIEVE THAT, UNDER £30? NO WAY, NO WAY. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT'S WHAT WE DO HERE AT GEMS EVERYDAY, EVERYDAY."
Oh, my word, I can't wait to start. Do you think I'll be paid at the lowest ever price?
