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!

Americans blogging in German!
COME ON SOMEONE LEAVE A LADYBIRD COMMENT; PLEASE :-)
Fly away home! They are cute aren't they? Even close up.
My mum is a keen gardener and an avid fan of ladybird...they eat all the nasties, like aphids!
Talking about designed by Volkswagon...many years ago my sister-in-law had a green Morris Minor which she called "The Aphid"...which has nothing to do with Volkswagon but hey...
Those aphids never stood a chance. Ladybird larvae are more vicious than a snapping snarling yapping trotter terrier.
Clever little ladybirds, they're one of nature's hit squad*!*
Baino: yeah that's just what I thought ~ apart from the multiple-leggy underecarriage, they're amazingly cute close up which is really unusual
Puss-in-Boots: Apparently American farmers buy them by the carton-load to release on to their crops and gobble up the nasties :-)
What resemblance does a Morris Minor bear to an aphid? Any at all..? Weren't Morris Minors those almost Tudor-style cars with "wooden" beams stuck all over the outside?... You know the ones I mean. I'd call it a "wooden car" and my dear brother who always, without fail, gets any allusion, metaphor or joke I ever tell e.g. if I say "that man looks like an earth worm" he knows exactly what I'm saying and why... would laugh and laugh his head off :-)
Molson: the tiny trotter terrier might snap and snarl more at a groany bone though than a ladybird would at an aphid... ps talking of groany bones, have you seen my Furry Friday on Saturday about Simi the Golden (Porkshire Cross) Doggie..? She's amazing and the link is here you MUST go and leave a comment.

If you don't, I shall have Simi savage you ~ and she has a nasty streak ~ just you look at her face.
And don't worry about the German. You can't speak it any worse than Simi and Internet explorer (though not Firefox for some reason) put up a grey bar up top of screen with "this page is in German; click to translate" and you'll get quite an entertaining rendition, which is no doubt better English than my original German!!
Bimbimbie: they're like women. Beautiful yet formidable, no wonder the name lady bird ...
What a beautiful selection of one of my favourit insects!
'Designed by Volkswagen' LOL! :O)
Thanks for stopping by my blog Gled and I've left you a reply. I'll try to find out the name of the film for you.
Such cuties.
I've been catching up on the suicide posts. All so very sad. Too many damaged people in the world.
Don't beat yourself up, gledwood. There's too much pain already around.
I quite like ladybugs! Interesting photos.
It is supposedly good luck to have one land on you. I have had several do that recently. I'm hoping the luck story is true.
There are some great photos here, Gledds. Lovely post.
Aren't they wondrous? As Baino said up top, they're beautiful even close up. The ultra-cute type with white spots up front, as in the sex film and the last photo, are the usual type we get here...
I had an ladybird invasion last november! They came through my bedroom window... hundreds of them. Ladybirds... nasty!
Are you in America? I heard about ladybird plagues out there... but I've never experienced one here... though I suppose I'd rather ladybirds than flies...
O no you're Sarah the German Au Pair in London. DUR! I'm so sorry; the English name threw me and I didn't know your portrait ;-)
I love how every time I come to your blog the post is so different from the last. I'm digging the lady bugs, haha.
= )
Hope you're doing a bit better today man!
