Tony Diniz - Lack of Credibility

[Mathilda]

Well if they read this thread then perhaps they should take note of the comments that might make them a better channel, namely ...........

- Sort out their dreadful cutting of gemstones;
- ***** sales pitch;
- Untruthful sales i.e. this is the best colour blah blah blah;
- Over-priced/over-hyped jewellery;
- Moaning presenters;
- Half dressed presenters - I don't want to see tits with my jewellery thank you.

Oh and while we're at it (she says having a Victor Meldrew moment) has anybody else got the email advertising Tenner Diniz's imminent arrival? Ooooh can't wait (not)! The one where it says he's affectionately called "Fiver" - also first mentioned on here! Although it wasn't actually said affectionately but hey ho!

Well, we can but hope they'll get round to taking notice of what else we say!
Earliers, Ms Burton asked viewers to email in with reviews, opinions.... 'we value your feedback and suggestions, good or bad'' ....... yeah, right! That'll be why the list by Meeshoo continues, eh? I emailed in desperation the other day, pleading to be shown the items more fully, front, back, bales on pendants, clasps on bracelets etc..... nearly fell off my chair earlier when a bracelet clasp actually was shown! Must be about the first time I've seen that on this channel...... this sort of info is vital to seeing an item properly.... once a year isn't enough!!

OK, so if you are female and a fan of Mr Diniz, would that make you a 'Tenner Lady'????

...I know, it was terrible, I'm sorry - have been itching to post it for days now, but have managed to hold it in....guess it just had to come out....I'll get my coat!!!

PR..... things can't be too bad if you managed to hold it in that long!
:tongue2: :cheeky:

Did anyone else notice Tenner say this morning that Dumortierite was bought by watchmakers for $1000 a carat as a substitute for lapis ( in winders???) I really do find that VERY hard to believe.

I don't think my flabber has been so gasted in quite a while ......the claims are so outrageous that I feel I have to keep watching! Would do wonders for their viewing figures, if that worked for lots of us, but it's not helping their sales figures at all!

To give Tony Diniz a smidge of credit, I e-mailed him with a couple of specific requests in my favourite gem - rainbow moonstone - and he said he would contact the factory to see if it could be done. A couple of days later, he got back to me to say that he'd been in touch with the factory in Thailand, but unfortunately they hadn't been able to get rainbow moonstone since December 17, so I'd have to wait until they could get some more.

I totally agree with the comments about badly cut, washed out, overhyped Pariabas, but good for Tony that he followed up my request and got back to me. (And Rocks & Co's rainbow moonstone IS the best I've ever seen anywhere, at prices which are fair, and I'll always love them for that.)

You can watch Online Fluff. Click on the R & C link above and you'll see the tab.

I prefer to watch RocksTV online :cheeky: but thanks Jan.

.... and thanks Ian.

 

[Jan]

You could watch R & C online before RocksTV starts at midday! Just to get a taster.

Just so I can agree with everyone about how truly awful it is ... except when John Scott is presenting? :grin:

I heard them talking about that today and VB saying the company in question started with a "C". Funnily enough the word that came to my mind did start with a "C" but it only had four letters and the last one was a "P"!!

OMG I needed one of those after reading that! :grin:

Well, I guess, he does take the pi$$ out of us so that's a great new name!

By the way, for the itching PR, I believe you can get some cream from the chemist.

oooo thanks, Meesh....I shall keep an eye out for it!!!

Argey (Fran) if you mean what I think you mean then you're even worse than I thought!!

No doubt your partner in crime Anna will be along soon - I'm almost scared to think what she'll post!

 

[PrincessRacer]

I have to admit, I thougt it too, Klos...if you are thinking what I think you are thinking Argey was thinking, and if you were thinking right!!

......I think I need a lie down after that!!!

You think it Klos, and I'll be worse, I'll never let you down.

[Mathilda]

Who? ME? Can't imagine wot you might mean ............:blush:

I was just sitting quietly, rehearsing my harmonies to the tune of "By yon bonnie banks......" :grin:

 

[Meeshoo]

Jeez can I have subtitles for you guys please

 

[Klosblue]

Jeez can I have subtitles for you guys please

Meeshoo it's Fran & Anna leading me astray with a little help from Racey too! I just made a totally innocent comment and Fran's (Argey's) dirty mind set to work!!

You know I'm usually sweet and innocent so it has to be their bad influence doesn't it?

 

[Mathilda]

Jeez can I have subtitles for you guys please

Roughly translated: Meeshoo dear, are you experiencing some difficuty?

Yours,

OMG and I thought I had a good grasp of the English language. I guess I certainly haven't with the Scottish language though!!!! Thanks for the subtitles cos in all honesty I wouldn't have been able to translate that at all!

As for our Argey having a dirty mind KB? Are you sure? That doesn't sound like our Arge at all? After all, she does have a halo! :wink2: Nah, you must be talking about another Argey!
