Bron says it was a great success, but I’m still yet to get the who-slept-with-who tales. Wha? You’re not supposed to do that at an auction? But there’s booze :)

HONG KONG–From Media Guardian: “Journalists and the military live in a state of mutual suspicion,” said veteran ITV reporter Michael Nicholson. “I once had a pamphlet which said the purpose of the military is success through secrecy, while the purpose of the press is victory through publicity. The two are not compatible. That was written in 1956 for the Suez campaign and continues today. “Journalists will do their damnedest to get to the truth and the military will do their damnedest to prevent us,” he added. Also: streaming mix is now online: eepeeanjiphive by DJ Adamus, featuring Interpol, Fischerspooner, Aphex Twin and the High Llamas screwing with Kylie, Underworld and Cornelius, plus The White Stripes and a Mando moment.
