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!

Quite the imagination - but wouldn't he be even more likely to find himself in a pie in Paris?
Perhaps, but I'm sure he's glad he wasn't born a frog or a snail!
For sure he's over there for the long weekend ... I can picture the two of them strolling wing tip to wing tip down the rue du rivoli cooing to the little sparrow's non regrette ;)
That's a great photo*!*
Did you know there used to be loads of house sparrows in London, about 20 years ago. Pigeons and sparrows, that's what you used to see, in huge flocks, pecking breadcrumbs off the paving. Now it's just pigeons and no-one can explain why. Perhaps all those sparrows emigrated to Paris ... who knows?
We have a holiday on Monday as well (Memorial Day). Thank God. I am so tired of working.
I hope your Flapper comes back to roost.
Love you, buddy. Have a good weekend. I hope your Mother is feeling well.

BIG NEWS! I think I heard Flapper cooing at 6am ...
I'm glad that Flapper is back. Give him a treat for flying home.
Aye I will, when I next see him. He seems to like our cherry trees first thing in the morning for a coo. He also pecks round on the street around them, where he spots me and flaps off...
We have a pet pigeon name Pidgie. She's very sweet when she's not laying eggs.
She's in love with my husband.

... you mean you actually keep the pigeon in a nest or a loft in your house?! Seriously??
Flapper just lives in the tree outside. I have adopted him as mine but he's not tame... Wood pigeons are wilder than street pigeons, by a long way. I also noticed they are bigger ("more portly" as the BBC website proclaims..!) with different markings ~ matte rather than gloss feathers and a distinctive white cravatte at the throat...
