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!
THERE IS GOOD NEWS AND THERE IS BAD NEWS. I will only tell the good news today. And that is someone (I don't know who because it was 9-11:30pm and I wasn't conversational) came and cleared out the hooligans' room last night. Vacuumed it out. Spent ages sweeping the hall obsessively. And I know it wasn't one of them because they didn't talk "black" and I understood the few words they spoke by the door.

Peace at last without those neighbors.
YAY! for good news! :-)
Amen!
Not all junkies are purse-snatching grandmother-killing psychos. I'm keeping this blog to bear witness to that fact.
- This is one of my sentiments exactly. Unfortunately I am on a script at the moment and have recently relapsed but in all this crap one of the biggest things I have discovered is that it's nearly impossible to stop people thinking that I like to mug old ladies on a regular basis. Anyway, just wanted to say i've been reading your blogs and I gotta' admire the way you just get on with things, wish I could. All the best! J.
By the way, try Bluetooth blocker to jam all secret devices in your room or at work.
Hi Gleds ~~ I am so sorry you have had some nasty neighbors and hope that they have finally gone. Sounds
like it when they are cleaning the place up.
And I do think you should get some more hamsters as they were good company and amusement for you.
We are in the midst of our 105F day (and no serious fires) and air/con is working it's magic. I doubt if it would kill any snakes, spiders and giant hornets. Where
did you get the last one from?
I have never heard of giant hornets
and the spiders and snakes are not
that common either. Nice to hear from you my friend. Regards, Merle.
It's awful having problem neighbours. I've only struck that once and I couldn't wait to move.
Glad yours seem to be out of the way...I hope you get your bad news turned into good.
