KEITH FLOYD ~ A TRIBUTE

KEITH FLOYD was one of the most classic TV cooks of all time. Here from his best series Floyd On France, is his attempt at a mushroom omelette ~ with "angry dragon lady" "simmering" behind ...



And here's the most classic clip of all. This wasn't a set-up ~ the French-Basque lady was for real! "FLOYD CAN'T COOK!"

Cyst 4: The Final Explosion

The title alone is classic.

I don't know what is most shocking: the pus-volcano on this guy's spotty back ~ or the utter lack of hygeine care in its bursting.

Ooo ~ watch that pus ooze!!

Beautiful Abscess Pus Surgery

Wondrous footage of an abscess being lanced under medical supervision. Man I would love to have a job doing this!

UK Government's Anti-Drug-Driving Commercial ...

DRUG DRIVING IS (QUITE RANDOMLY, IT SEEMS TO ME) THE GOVERNMENT'S NEW OBSESSION ...


"Don't drive home from that rave!"

IT'S ALL IN THE EYES!



I love these "how it was done" films ...

Christiane F: Wir Kinder vom Bahnhoff Zoo

"Wir, Kinder vom Bahnhoff Zoo" by "Christiane F", memoir of a teenage heroin addict and prostitute, was a massive bestseller in Europe and is now a set text in German schools.

Bahnhoff Zoo was, until recently, Berlin's central railway station. A kind of equivalent (in more ways than one) to London's King's Cross...

Of course my local library doesn't have it. So I'm going to have to order it through a bookshop and plough through the text in German. I asked my druggieworker Maple Syrup, who is Italiana how she learned English and she said reading books is the best way.

For some reason every section except Part 1 is ENGLISH SUBTITLED ~ wahey!

Esperanto!

I came across Esperanto "many years ago" in the 1980s and even learned a bit. Here's a documentary on the scattered numbers around the world who speak Esperanto fluently:



This "Esperanto TV" broadcast comes from Poland, homeland of Esperanto's creator. The language sounds a lot more natural in this East European accent:



Esperanto is supposed to be spoken with an "Italian accent"; that is, the 5 vowels have the same values as in Italian and word stress is on the penultimate syllable in polysyllabic words or the first syllable in two-syllable words.
This lady really does speak it naturalistically and fluently. This class is about "how to talk on the telephone in Esperanto"
