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!
ALL SNOW AND ICE is gone: London looks normal again.

I hope you enjoyed your roast beef dinner - we have that planned for tomorrow - and that 2010 will be the year your life changes to become unimaginably better than you could hope.
Wow you're right into the donkey thing! Actually, I'm a big dog person myself. Bichon Frise are a little more like pj cases than anything else. Hope you had a good Christmas and Boxing Day . . .I'm finally catching up with everyone and actually slept in until 7am. Win win!
I think Bichon Frise dogs are so cute. I'm not a small dog person, give me a big boofhead dog any day, but there are some small cuties around.
Thanks for visiting, Gleds. See you anon.
My sister and her husband have two Bichon Frise dogs. They take turns urinating all over the house (the dogs, not my sister and her husband).
We had Christmas dinner with a vegetarian friend. he cooked us Tofurkey with stuffing, potatoes, and vegetarian gravy. Not great stuff, but not bad.
Thanks for your Christmas wishes, this time I really had a nice one, usually it rather gets on my nerves. I just came back from Malmedy in the Belgian Ardennes and we had a white Christmas. Now I am back and all snow is gone just like in London. Anyway I don't miss it, it's slippery and dangerous for driving, only nice to look at !
Hi, Gleds. Thr pic of lovely Dalston is enough to make me homesick! Love the donkeys and that baby cloud dog. Happy 2010 from Simi and me xx woof!
What a cute puppy! Dang.
Love, SB.
Roast beef here as well as ham and Yorkshire pudding. It was great. Hope that you had a good day Gleds.
