Watching a bit of Gemporia. Just tuned in to see Ellis selling "Menagerie" charm bracelets and charms by Kimbie. Ellis said: "This is the latest offering from the House of Kimbie". I was alone but actually laughed out loud at the sheer pretension of it. It's Kimbie love, it's not Chanel. What...

I saw a necklace I liked on a show. I thought about it and a couple of days later thought I would order and take a look at it. I phoned customer service. In the past if I was able to say which show I saw it on, with who and at which price that auction price was honoured. No more. I did the...

Did anyone else catch Lynn Jinks selling Ethiopian Opals this morning? It was an interesting show - for twisted logic. Apparently, labs (some, or one, at least) are now issuing certificates to say that Dyed Opals and Smoked Opals are natural. To be absolutely precise they are "Natural Ethiopian...

GTN sprays for cardiac conditions on standby. Jess is on now. In a LILAC top! Not grey, not red but LILAC!

This afternoon, Ellis was pontificating that "some cynical people" think that the presenters know what the prices will be and that they are acting when they seemed shocked. She said the presenters have a sheet of paper with the recommended prices but the producers often go lower than this so the...

Another thing I have noticed in the last few days is a few presenters now have started saying: "I could not even get this price at staff cost/ with my staff discount." It's noticeable because they have all started saying it at the same time during this sale. I do find myself wondering if it has...

I have noticed recently that Gemporia are now stating treatments - in full - on their graphics. In the past when an item was shown it said "F" or "I" and you had to be able to look at their treatment page online or call and ask the centre what that letter meant. If you even realised it was a...

OK, Ladies and Gentlemen, place your bets - what is the company announcement going to be? Something genuinely worth all the hoo-hah. Or some kind of half-backsided selling ploy - for example something about how some gemstone (my money is on something from China) is going to be massively rare /...

Hi all, started a new thread for this as it was on the thread about Jeff. Gem Auras have confirmed they are leaving Gemporia on their Facebook page. Looks like they are going to be offering courses. Personally, I wouldn't want a course from them as I find their approach that of a dilettante...

Had to laugh. Watchdog, just now, were saying they are hearing more and more examples of companies saying they do not have to refund you within 14 days as their terms and conditions say they can take longer. They said those companies obviously do not understand the law and if any viewers hear of...

Hi all, Having recently jumped from the the sinking ship "Gemporia" I am now looking to TJC for jewellery, and so far I am happy. Unfortunately, like Gems it is laden with non-jew ellery items. How can I find out what is on when? Their on-site TV guide gives no hint, except to say "Black Friday...

This is something else that is going to have to change before they get another red cent from me. Yesterday, there was a lilac fireball pearl necklace in the auction. I was really tempted but as I have foresworn purchasing from them until they get their act together I resisted. It was a hefty...

As I type Dave is on, selling Paua shell jewellery. He's cracking on that it's a super-duper quality they have never had before and vastly superior because it has a greater number of colours and RED in it! I checked my own paua pendant - bought years ago. It has loads of different colour in it -...

In case it is useful to anyone at this present, slightly heated and possibly spam-ridden, moment. I just wanted to say there is an "ignore" user option. Just go to one of the user in questions posts and click on their initial and it will come up.

Apparently refunds are now taking up to up to "30 WORKING days". I could vent my spleen here, but I think that the bald fact of that is far more damning than I could ever be.

I watched Gemporia a bit this morning and had the misfortune to catch a new presenter. Now, I am sure she is a lovely person but not a presenter I can bear at the moment. She presents as if the show is kid's TV. Very fake enthusiastic, high pitched and just plain irritating. Jeff has an issue...

Am I missing something. I watched the carved "Type A" buddha pendant show yesterday. A whole hour of David "never smile" Troth wittering on. The pendant was mounted in silver, or midas and the buddha had a hole in it's head where it was meant to be on a jump ring or thong. Not exactly...

I know that I am probably a member of her target audience - middle-aged, menopausal and not-exactly-skinny-any-more - but I have to ask: "****** hell, doesn't Ruth Langsford have a home to go to?" Or has she bought the Company? Mind you QVCs range of products seems to be getting more and more...

Hi all. I have just tried, several times, to buy an item from Q online. Everytime it came back saying my card was declined and I should contact my bank. I thought it was weird. I checked my app, money in account, no suspicious activity, no messages. I checked emails and texts no messages from my...

I thought the whole idea of getting rid of the outlet channel was to have a lifestyle channel for showing all the junk (most of which you can on Amazon cheaper). As we now have candles, vitamins, scarves, Buddhas, lamps, silk flowers and even flaming brownies they would need a separate channel...
