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!
THIS is one of the birds I hear singing right outside my window. It perches one tree along from Flapper and Chogstable's cherry tree, chirruping like crazy most of the day:

To your questions :"Ich habe schon so lange keine mehr singen hören".means that she hasn't heard a single nightingale singing since ages" and I too ! I can't believe that you have nightingales in London in your street !! Anyway I am not a bird specialist, I only know robins and sperlings, that's like with flowers.
I paint in acrylic, because it dries quick, oil stinks and is too slow for me. Now I am off to the sea for the day, it's only 100 km and will listen to the songs of seagulls !
Last time I was at the seaside I threw red hot chips at a herring gull who either didn't notice or didn't care... either way, we named him "Gullable"!!
PS I'm with you on acrylics. Why bother with "it'll still be wet in 2018" oils when ya got them?!
How on earth Van Gough managed to slap out 5 pictures a day or whatever it was in oil is beyond me.
Also from what I know, his technique, as far as conservation goes, was dire. Oil must be applied as sparingly as possible so it does NOT crack and fall off. He slathered the stuff on like there was no tomorrow!
thanks for information...
Ja, die Szene mit der Raupe finde ich auch ganz toll! Erstaunlich, dass der Zaunkönig wegfliegt, als sie ihm zu nahe kommt... ob die Raupe giftig ist oder ist der Vogel Vegetarier?
Liebe Grüße
Vielen Dank für deinen Besuch in meinem Blog und die lieben Kommentare. Deine Geschichten hier sind auch sehr liebenswert. Viele Grüße von Inge
I'd like to comment on this, Gledds, but I don't understand this German shit. Sorry.
Nice picture!
Love the videos! Great blog--glad I found it!
Melinda
Uhm, Ich haben in zer Toronto Canada? Ze wedder ist warrum und windig? Tag? Strasse? Konig? Berlin? Hund?
I suck.
Thanks for the birdsongs Gleds, that little wren when slowed down sounds pretty good too, loved the interaction with the caterpillar*!*
Just popped in to see how you're doing and what's up. Sorry I've not been blogging as usual, but I'll have more time to catch up once this job ends tomorrow. The bird life in your street is lovely.
Angelina: vielleicht war die Raupe zu groß für sie!
Inge:
Gern geschehen! (Is das die rechte Ausdruck? Ich meine:) Herzlich Willkommen!
SB: hang on a sec, everything I wrote in German I put up in English too, y'know! There's no mystery. {That is a Geheimnis to you ;->...}
Melindaville: Hi! I've been following your blog for ages, y'know!
Bimbimbie: I once saw a TV prog where they slowed down animals (and sped up tortoises) in line with lifespan ~ most things then moved at the same speed. And tiny the tiny tits/etc suddenly no longer looked anxiously about 3 times every second!
e: Hi! We seem to have more birds this year than any year past. A hedgefull of sparrows for one thing, and "common" sparrows almost disappeared over the last 20 years.. .yeah I'm doing OK, thanks...
Reeny: that was a pretty good impression; did you do German at school?
What I've found is that people who do languages till 16 (GCSE/O Level here) usually seem to've forgotten year later but A level language (age 18) is enough to stick in the head and become a foundation for something further later on...
I took one German course in high school...
Did you get the school certificate in German?... Whatever Canadian exams are called..? Me having not the faintest idea, sorry
Nice about the birds. Too tired to work on German.
I'm too tired for German too. I know when I am, suddenly it turns into incomprehensible gobbledygook. Glass mostly full becomes a glass mostly empty :-(
Great video!! Thanks!
