Featured Has anyone got any "bold" opals in their hoard?

I channel surfed onto The Jewellery channel UK and an advert was up for "Australian bolder earrings" I got to wondering how their opals were bolder than normal boulder earrings. I would love to see a bolder opal.

 

Are you sure it wasn't Boulder opals? Boulder is a town up in the Goldfields also known for opals

 

If it is on the telly it must be correct.

 

Of course it must be

 

I don't think the opals in my necklace are bold enough to qualify.

 

They look pretty bold to me. Stunning!!!

 

HORNE: Can you help me? I've erred.

SANDY: Well, we've all erred, ducky. I mean, it's common knowledge, ennit, Ju1e?

HORNE: Will you take my case?

JULIAN: Well, it depends on what it is. We've got a criminal practice that takes up most of our time.

HORNE: Yes, but apart from that - I need lega1 advice.

SANDY: Ooh - isn't he bold? Time has not withered nor custom staled his infinite variety

JULIAN: What is it you've done?

HORNE: (shyly) I don't like to say.

JULIAN: Oh, you can tell us. Sand and me have handled the most bizarre briefs - nothing could shock us.

HORNE: Well - look, it's here on this charge sheet.

SANDY: Let's have a vada. Oh Jule, look at this!

JULIAN: Ooh! He didn't!

SANDY: He did. Look, it's written down.

JULIAN: But I mean - in broad daylight - outside the Corner House - aren't you ashamed?

HORNE: Yes - but it is on1y a parking offence.

SANDY: Only! They're very hot on that. What do you think, Jule?

JULIAN: Hmm - let me look up me tort.

SANDY: Shh - he's looking up his tort. Sometimes it takes him hours to find what he's looking for. Ah, he's found it. Well?

JULIAN: I recommend we try Per verulium ad camphorum actus injuria linctus est.

SANDY: That's your actual Latin.

HORNE: What does it mean?

JULIAN: I dunno - I got it off a bottle of horse rub, but it sounds good, doesn't it? How shall we tackle it, Sand?

SANDY: I think we should plead insanity.

JULIAN: Yes, but what about Mr. Horne?

SANDY: Oh, him. I'll defend him. I'll do me speech for the defence. Would you 1ike to hear it?

JULIAN: Go on, do your plea, Sand. Oh, he's an eloquent pleader.

SANDY: Omes and palones of the jury, vada well the eek of the poor ome who stands before you, his lallies trembling. He has his share of guilt, but who is without it? We all have a bit - every one of us. We have our share. His on1y crime was that he loved not wisely but not too well. This kid never had a chance - born on the wrong side of the tracks, forced to take in washing - society drove him to a life of vice. It is not this ome who is on trial - it is all of us. We made him what he is - without hope, without love, without hair. Give him a chance to become a useful citizen again - a housewife and a mother, so that he can look the world in the face and say, `I name this ship HMS Ark Royal. God bless all who sail in her!'

JULIAN: Bravo, Sand! You could have been a Queen's Counsel. Well, Mr. Horne- what do you say?

HORNE: Have you got Quintin Hogg's phone number?

***************************************************************************************

SANDY: When did we meet Mr.Horne next, Jule?

JULIAN: I think it was after you were disbarred and before we went into our next big venture. We was filling in at that pet shop.

SANDY: So we were, and Mr.Horne come in looking for a pet and we was all covered in hair.

JULIAN: Oh yes, I remember. We'd been stripping a borzoi.

SANDY: Well, we thought it was a borzoi but when we'd stripped him it turned out he was just a hairy whippet.

JULIAN: Anyway, right in the middle of all that, in came Mr.Horne.

I have one opal ring, and it was thrifted for £2, so no idea where the stone is from!

 

Possibly showing my naïveté here, but this reminds me of the necklace in the HP film! It is gorgeous though, bet it gets a lot of attention when you take it out!

 

I have a pretty bold opal ring, but I have seen some much bolder than mine.

 

Nah, much too beautiful.

 

LOL... you are all TOO funny!

You need to be a Brit to get the nonsense I posted. OOH BOLD!

 

I never wear it now. Sad but true.

 

Missing one letter out of a word can change the meaning entirely.

 

That's going back a bit.

 

I can hear it in their actulal voices, it still makes me howl with laughter.

 

I like nonsense occasionally (well a lot really) I was quite taken with the description "Australian bolder earrings"

 

Thank you.. I was too embarrassed to ask...

 

My husband has just been speaking all the voices.
