I recently had an email from the artists Rart and Sete (
www.rartandsete.com) about the following apology they have made... It is so amusing I thought I had better share it here...
The email they sent me read:
"Further to our press release for our exhibition in aid of
Breast Cancer charity Breakthroughat:
The Art House North St Westbourne, Nr Emsworth, Hants.
We would like to make a public apology to Tony "chippy" mccorry.
To see the apology in full please folow the link below

Do visit their site, but in the meantime, this is what it says:
THIS IS THE BEST RESPONSE FROM OUR PRESS RELEASE EMAIL
As you will see it's not very charitable but does deserve special attention. Our response is below the original mail.

Subject: you pair of wankers
hi I met you two a few years ago at a private view in colchester and you were very rude to me. On that particular occasion I was unable to react in the appropriate manner due to the location and company around. However now I know how to locate you I am pretty sure we will catch and I can make amends for the missed opportunity.

OUR RESPONSE
Hi Tony,
Thank you for your recent mail.
The only Exhibition we have ever been to in Colchester was our own very first gig, a Solo in Trinity Studios.Unfortunatley we had succumbed to our hosts bounteous generosity, and subsequently over imbibed, on the beverage front. Due to alcohol induced malaise and memory loss, we have absolutley no recolection of either you or the insult.
As this was nearly 11 years ago we feel we must have offended you greatly, for you to bear a grudge for this extrodinary length of time. If you could please see your way to enlightening us on how we caused such grave offence, we would be indebted to you, as we would like to use it to insult somebody else.
We do apologise for blighting your existance for the past 11 years
Sorry
Rart and Sete.
FOOTNOTE
As this was our first ever exhibition Tony must have been the first artist we ever insulted which makes this very special to us.
If there are any other artists we may have insulted, in a drunken stupor, we would love to hear from you.
Also if anyone knows what c/wood and bcfc means please let us know.
