Most of these come from my
Random blog, which is an electronic scrapbook of stuff I thought I might like to view at some time or other. For those who want to view stuff on drugs I've collected the very best links here. Unless otherwise stated these are full-length features, usually an hour or more.
If you have a slow connexion and are unused to viewing multiscreen films on Youtube here's what to do: click the first one and play on mute, stopping and starting as it does. Then, when it's done, click on Repeat Play and you get the full entertainment without interruption. While you watch screen one, do the same to screens 2, 3 and so on. So as each bit finishes, the next part's ready and waiting.
Mexican Black Tar Heroin: "
Dark End"
Khun Sa, whose name meant Prince Prosperous, had been, before his death in the mid 2000s, the world's biggest dealer in China White Heroin: "
Lord of the Golden Triangle"
In-depth portrait of the Afghan heroin trade at its very height. Includes heroin-lab bust. "
Afghanistan's Fateful Harvest"
Classic miniseries whose title became a catchphrase for the misery of life in East Asian prison. Nicole Kidman plays a privileged middle-class girl set up to mule heroin through Thai customs with the inevitable consequences. This is so long it had to be posted in two parts. "
Bangkok Hilton 1" (first 2 hours or so); "
Bangkok Hilton 2" (last couple of hours).
Short film: from tapwater-clear H4 in the USA to murky black Afghan brown in Norway: "
Heroin Addicts Speak"
Before his untimely death this guy kept a video diary. Here's the hour-long highlights as broadcast on BBC TV: "
Ben: Diary of a Heroin Addict". Thanks to
Noah for the original link.
Some of the most entertaining scenes from Britain's top soap (as much for the poor research as anything else). Not even Phil Mitchell would go from nought to multi-hundred pound binges this fast: "
Phil Mitchell on Crack" (just over 5 minutes).
Scientist lady shows us how to cook up gear: "
How Much Citric?" Lucky cow: her brown is 70% purity! Oddly we never see her actually do her hit... maybe she got camera shy...
And lastly:
German documentary following a life from teenage addiction to untimely death before the age of 30. The decline in this girl's appearance is truly shocking. "
Süchtig: Protokoll einer Hilflosigkeit". Sorry no subtitles; this is here for anyone learning German who's after practice material a little more gripping than Lindenstraße!

Now, that is one really cute hammy!!!
I was in the midst of checking out your other blogs. I don't know how you keep 5 blogs! I am having a rough time just keeping up with my one blog! :)
Happy New Year! xo
He has that "hamster surprised" look they do so well...
I only update one blog daily. The others are for youtubes/pictures (now: I only found out how to put up pictures this afternoon) that catch my interest that don't really fit into this one
Merry 2008 to you too
;->...
Just a quick visit Gleds to wish you a very Happy New Year! I am still far behind on blog visits and haven't really posted much yet either. I will start fresh next year! 8-)
I bet he tastes like chicken!
Awww, he is so cute...R.I.P.
I love the hammy! Reminds me of one we had years ago named Hammy, whose nickname was “The Great Escape Artist.” I hope he has found happiness in the great wheel in the sky.
aaaah, how sweet! Have a geat new year gleddy!!!!
That is possibly the most beautiful hamster I have ever seen.
Hey, to answer your question from last week about Madonna's "Santa Baby", it came off of "A Very Special Christmas". I think it was a charity album with a lot of artists, and the cover sported the art of a really famous gay artist, I want to say Herb Ritts but I know it wasn't him....arrggg! I wish I could remember. The Album came out in '87 or '88.
Kahshe: yes keep your furry head a-noddin'!
Preposterous: EVERYTHING tastes like chicken; ur probably right!!
Pongo: yeah poor Pandy. Fertalizing the flowers for nearly a decade past now...
Nick: I'm sure he has though if it's too small or slow he will be gnashing teeth to complain about it... most vigorous hammy I ever had was Pandable. Rambled literally dusk till dawn with nary a break he did... hence the 8 miles stat. Average Syrian hamsters run "only" five miles a night..!
Vi Vi: cheers: you too! ;->...
M-filer: o! I had never heard of that one before... I wonder if she'll ever put it on her assembled greatest hits... those are the kinda things fans "die" for...
yes it is a beautiful slightly surprised lookin' hamster. I was actually thinkin' of using him as my personal "avatar" monicker, but obviously already have my roboself doing't' same job...
HAVE A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR 2008 EVERYONE!!
It's at times like this I wish I spoke Chinese. Cantonese. Mandarin. Satsuma. Whatever.
Happy New Year!
Clementine probably
