Regrets, I've had a few., by saint on Jan 24, 2011 15:10:21 GMT 1, Music wise it has to be missing Oasis at knebworth castle in 1996. Not that i'm too bitter, but it was Saturday the 10th, all my mates went, i had a ticket but didnt go cos i was a moron and a girl i liked was having a party so i went there instead. I've never forgiven myself for missing that, Oasis were about the biggest thing in my life in those days, i thought i was liam......
Art wise, i had a whole set of placard rats, and a grat that i should never have let go of. Saying that i've replaced them with things i love more, so not to bothered.

Saint - if it's any consolation, I managed to buy two VIP tickets to see Oasis at Wembley on July 11th 2009 - free VIP party, free drink, free buffett etc etc. .. realised a few days later that I was going on holiday that day (not very organised). Infact - it was a champagne buffet! A mate said he'd have the tickets - then 10 days before the concert said he couldn't afford them - so I put them on ebay and sold them only to get an email straight away to say that a family member had just died and he couldn't pay me. I ended up phoning everyone I knew at the time - Des offered me 50% of their face value so that he could take his new girlfriend. He said to me 'They're VIP tickets - will I meet the band?' - 'Don't push it - I said. 3 days into my holiday, I get a text from Des - thanks for the tickets mate - spent the afternoon chatting to Nicole and Liam in the VIP bar - oh and I mentioned to Nicole that my eldest daughter loves them and she got Liam to give me two VIP tickets for tomorrow night! Biggest regret is Des is a tee totaller - but he had a great time anyway! So there's always a silver lining to every regret!!

There were tears in the audience it was so beautiful. At Reading there were tears.....but for a different reason. "I am the Resurrection" felt more like a cruxifiction

Regrets, I've had a few., by Deleted on Jan 25, 2011 0:59:28 GMT 1, I was lucky enough to see Oasis several times. None so eventfull as when I saw them at Earls court. I bought a couple of tickets from a friend(who had bought the from a friend/t**t). Who turned out not too be a very good friend as he had stolen the tickets. So i go to sit down in my seats and a very polite girl says "if anyone sits here we've been told we have to get security" So my friend and I missed the Support band, you might have heard of them 'The Verve', who were huge at the time. We just couldn't bring ourselves to leave the venue, but we got well away from the seats and back to the bar area. We came up with a plan that when Oasis came on stage we would just run past security and stand at the end of an isle. Luckily everyone stood up and we got to see Oasis. Great gig, especially as we thought it was f**ked up. Got my money back for the tickets too, after a few threats were made.

It's not that I didn't have the readies, it's just that by the time I really started to get into it, you needed lightening reactions and an inside track.
I only became aware of this Forum quite late, mostly on here as a guest for a long time.

Regrets, I've had a few., by Coach on Jan 25, 2011 22:05:46 GMT 1, Not being hugely into Banksy when you could pick up a canvass for a few hundred quid - just because I very much doubt I will ever own a canvass.
Also, not buying a Charming Baker canvass when I had the chance, because now way out of my league. Did exchange emails with him, re a great canvass of a boy with a gun, which was available, but decided to buy my Herakut og instead. Dont think I will ever own a CB canvass now either.
But those are only the regrets, I have lots of lovely art that gives me great pleasure, and that is what I think about every day, not regrets. c

Also, selling this... probably the only thing i've regretted selling:

2. Falling for the hype and buying 'Be Here Now', and then sending it back to Creation telling them it was s*** and expecting something back in return.
3. Not buying signed Banksy's as I didn't think a signature warranted the extra money. D'oh!
4. Thinking the police know what they are doing.

Art related regret is not buying the Sepia morons and being cheap and buying the unsigned when I had the chance to buy either from POW.

You know, I thought it would be, as soon as I posted. An original or print? Have seen a few Auerbach pieces, but not as colourful and vibrant as this one. How did you miss out?
