Vicky Burton will you please wheesht!

[Huggles]

I have been watching the 'Patroke Kunzite' debut on Rocks & Co. I know Tony Diniz has his critics on this forum and I'll admit to being one of them, but I have been listening to him with the volume up for a change. I'm just about at the end of my tether because everytime he is about to say something even mildly interesting like 'If you own a piece of kunzite can I suggest...' Vicky Burton jumps right in with some totally unimportant rubbish about people being on the phones!!!!!!!!!!!!! He also said 'There are only three cuts which are...' and now I don't know what the three cuts and what relevence this is because yet again gobby jumped in to say they had people on the phone. No kidding? This is really important information to me...NOT!!!! Even if I was about to pick up the phone and buy this would be totally irrelevent as we all know 'people on the phone' means we will be waiting ages for the number to drop. If anything interrupting to say 'people are on the line' may actually put people off buying as they will think it's going to be too late. GRRRRRRRRR. Why am I even letting myself get annoyed? I should just switch off, just wanted to rant and get it out of my system. I feel better now. Oh, and wear proper clothes woman, not an underslip made out of your Grannies curtains.

I couldn't agree more Huggles, it's so rude and not at all helping to sell their jewellery. After all what's the point of having him there if he's not allowed to speak about his own subject. Rude Moo !!!

I too have been trying to listen to TD and he frequently gets interrupted! It was interesting to hear him say he
had sold two lots to Gems previously.....and from what I recall most of their pieces were significantly smaller
than many of tonight's offerings.

One thing that might have been helpful was to tell new purchasers that Kunzite is quite a delicate stone and needs
a certain amount of care taken when wearing it!

She is so up herself!! Loves the sound of her own voice and doesn't realise how stupid she looks and sounds especially when she gets excited and stutters all over the place! A very dislikeable person imho but obviously the powers that be think she's gods gift! Shame nobody realises she lost all credibility when she publically stated at the start that she would not be employing anyone who had previously worked on a Jewellery Channel ??? Cheesy Caroline, Ruth, Incapable Kay, Squeaky Stacey, Adrianna (she didn't last long!) and whoever else I've missed. She's been talking carp since before the channel started and hasn't stopped ever since! I couldn't watch her even if they were giving the stuff away for free!

You have to ask youself, what is the point having the gem hunter/expert in if the presenter is going to talk over them the whole time? Pointless exercise inviting them in if thats going to be the case? Just my opinion of course.

 

[Sacha]

And though I'm guessing it means 'be quiet' or similar!.....wheest is a word I've not heard before. Or is there another meaning?

Klos, you can relax now John S is on and I think VB has left the building.........

 

[Huggles]

(Verb, Scottish slang) Quiet.

Haud yer wheesht! (be quiet)

I think she suffers delusions of adequacy.

That's really good - it's onomatopeaic (i.e. sounds like what it means - it sounds like telling someone to "shhh", only rather more sharply!)

wheesht

I so love that phrase!!! Hud yer wheesht, yu wee chuchter!!! (not sure if I have spelt chuchter right...oops!!) I say that ssoo much!! hee hee!!

.......yeah and gobby and everything...see.....seamlessly back on topic!! :35:

 

[Dingbat]

I tend to watch this channel during the adverts on other channels. This has been going on for ages - interrupting TD when he is trying to say something. How long before he decides it's not worth his time sitting there with them?? Did you notice the little smiles on his face after he had been interrupted by 'herself' yet again. We aren't the only ones noticing this. The only person who is totally unaware is VB herself.
ALSO what is she going on about - this is a piece I would wear all the time?? About 5cts of patroke kunzite - surely that wouldn't last very long - or does she just sit about at home and get waited on hand and foot there too???

 

[Sacha]

I had to chuckle.......

Later on during the show Vicky was presenting a pretty trilliant cut pendant.....maybe the only one of the hour.
She obviously liked the piece very much and she said she would want to wear it at her wedding.
In a very quiet voice Tony D replied......."is that a hint?" mysmilie_1436


Tonight at 9pm according to Sky EPG they are launching 'Santa Rosa' Tourmaline. Any ideas what that could be like?.........:33:

 

[PandaBear]

Sacha I saw the trailer for the new tourmaline earlier it was a green coloured tourmaline looked quite a lovely shade of green, bet the prices are going to be very high like there other 'new' gemstones at the moment.

Oh dear I do let go sometimes!! Sometimes? Well maybe often!! Don't worry though folks, I started my high blood pressure pills on Tuesday so give it a few days and I'll be peaceful, quiet and laid back - hopefully!

Then again..............................................................................!!

Don't watch her then!

Why are you lot so sad! If you don't like her dont watch her, don't pick the poor girl to pieces or call her a b***h for doing her job! To have to be spending your Friday night blogging or should I say picking on someone says what type of people you are! Get a life and leave her alone! I think she's lovely and I think your just unkind, life is far too short to be so mean.

As opposed to spending your Saturday night blogging?????????????

We'll assume you mean you're.

The point I think the posters are trying to make is that they watch to see the gemstones and hear about them from the expert Tony Diniz, and his continual interruption is not only distracting, but stopping them hearing the information that may make the difference between them buying or not.

:doggie:

Whilst you are perfectly entitled to your opinions relevant to the various sections of this forum, I will thank you to keep your comments about me and other members views/opinions to yourself. Vicky Burton et al are in the public spotlight and therefore each and every one of us is entitled to express our opinions on how well, or in her case how badly they do their jobs. They put themselves on a pedestal to be shot down and I'm sure they are paid very well for the pleasure.

Just because our opinions differ from yours, it is extremely childish to throw your toys out of the pram and make personal comments which are infantile in the extreme. If you do not wish to read opinions of others then don't go on to forums and instead do a Google search for Presenter Fan Clubs which it would appear would suit you much better!!

Oh and by the way - I DON'T WATCH - I'd rather stick pins in my eyes!

hungover from last night, and its britains got talent!!!

i get what you are saying, but feel you have all missed the point! it is not a documentry, it is a shopping program, the aim is to sell the item not discuss it for hours. Do you not think she has people teling her to wrap it up? Anyway i have no problem with constructive feedback, saying let him finish etc.. what i think is really wrong is referring to her as a b***h?? she is not!! she hasn't said anything nasty or insulted anyone! she is just working! I am really suprised at some of the comments i have read. How would you feel if it was your friend, your daughter or sister. Why make people feel bad about themselves? she is just working.. leave her alone.
