In a strange twist of events l found myself in conversation with a young lady who had attended Layer Road for a match against Hull City in our first season in The Championship. The 5-1 encounter.
We were attending a promo evening for a band called The Datsuns in North London in 2008.
During the evening she explained that she had been present at a party that made the national news due to the tragic death of someone by the name of Mark Blanco.
The incident occurred in December 2006.
This incident will be shown on Channel 4 on Monday night at 22.00 in an hour long documentary and several people known to me have made contributions.
It may be of interest to some.
I am very much hoping that the police will reinvestigate the death of Mark Blanco as a result of what will be included in the content.
I know that what l was told by this young lady 15 years ago has been instrumental in the making of this documentary.

SQUAT
Yellow snow warning
Red missile approaching from the east
You've got your hands
Around the throat of the Priest
And through the mesh
You see the sky turn to orange
Better to run for cover
Than curl up and die
Gathering the gear
And your Tesco carrier bag
Fatal fix when you are near
Forever in the everclear
There's blood on the duvet
Where your hips swayed
Barefoot down the fire escape
To make your getaway
Past the pharmacy
In the schizoid dawn
Tower blocks screaming
In a siren storm
And now
Some kind of rendezvous
In a boarded up squat
At the back end of town
South of the underpass
Staring in a trance
Blowing smoke rings
With your back against the wall
Just like it always was
A place to call home
For twenty four hours
With your supply
Of bacon and brie sandwiches
And coffee flask
And despite your unquestionable bravado
You always discarded the crusts
Floating in the silence and solitude
Shielded by reinforced concrete and steel
Respite from the crush of burner phones
Free from filters and profiles
'Cause when it gets tough, all gets too much
You just go off grid
Despite your former glory
Always a sense of foreboding
A thrill seeker who would stop at nothing
A gun for hire awaiting command
Just a step away from the glittering prize
Saline drip
Salt in your eyes

Responding to “Thanks to those of you who are still following 😊😊🦮🦮….”
Some of us are curious Ray.
Is “Lesbian Espionage “a past album, a future album, or a collection of poetry and who is the artiste and author? Is it your original work?
I tried Google and it took me up some very odd paths…… |  | | |

Hello Phil,
'Lesbian Espionage' is a new word / image / sound project written by myself over the past few years.
Still not sure what form it may take as yet ( if any ).
Part of it has been produced using artificial intelligence - sound recordings with a 'voice over' from Ukraine.
There are other parts of the project that may be expanded ( Ghosts of Berlin ) where we have it translated into German and possibly extend that into something musical.
This thread began with the Mark Blanco incident in 2006 which put quite a few of us back in touch. Some of them asked what l was doing now and l posted a few pieces from LE on here. I was very pleasantly surprised that people were reading them.
It might be hard to believe for some ( writing dark vibes ) that there are occasional 'requests' as such.
I started writing this stuff in the mid nineties and there are eight books circling around the world now. Because of online and eBay etc the works get recycled and have found many different corners of the world.
It anyone, anywhere can take anything from the words - theatre, music, film etc ( and we have had all of those ) then it's worthwhile.
Admittedly, the content is unusual for a football forum but that is just how the thread panned out.
While l'm on here thanks to some 'Tigers' fans up there in the great city of Hull who have been following. | | | |

Back to the opening thread and a little cameo from the Hull City visit to Layer Road.
Dean Windass took a while to disembark the coach and by the time he presented himself at the player's gate in a reversed baseball cap he was denied access to the ground and directed to the away end turnstyle by the steward.
Dean insisted he was a player and asked for manager Phil Brown to come out and confirm.
True to form Phil Brown came out and viewing Windass in the company of the match day steward confirmed he didn't know the individual.
This was typical of Brown who is blessed with a great sense of humour and was a talented singer.
This went on for a few minutes but there was a happy ending and Dean Windass saw the funny side of it.
Dean Windass was born and bred in the great city of Hull and had a wonderful career. | | | |

While l focus on Hull City l particularly recall watching highlights of some of their matches on Anglia TV back in the 60's and early 70's.
I would like to draw attention to these incredible stats from the player's that l remember from a golden era of football
CHRIS CHILTON - Centre Forward, 415 games for Hull City with 193 goals!
KEN WAGSTAFF - Inside Forward, 378 games with 173 goals!
KEN HOUGHTON - Inside Forward, 264 games played with 79 goals scored!
That amounts to over 1,000 appearances for Hull City.
That kind of data could never be replicated in the modern game.
Additionally, that lovely old ground by the name of Boothferry Park had a record attendance of 55,000 for a match in 1949.
Great Club in a Great City!
Sending All Best Wishes from Colchester.

HUSH
Debris rains down
On the South bound carriageway
Radar tracks as metal smacks
Into tarmac
Micro man has panic attack
As missiles approach
And windscreen cracks
Masts rush past
Blasting out emissions
While locals aghast
Hold placards and petitions
Through ultra violet skies
Jets fly out to sea
Dropping bombs on Sizewell B
And radio towers will bleep
Coded messages to sheep
Then the flowers
In an eerie silence
Saying goodbye
To those that they love
And the quietness
Is forever
Hush pretty baby

Written on the drive to BT at Martlesham Heath, Suffolk, UK in 1996
WALKING AT NIGHT
Stepping out
Into this land
Of shrink wrapped bottle blondes
Ringtones and logos
Where pillow talk is cheap
And it's nine below zero
I think of a time
When l longed for you to call
Only yesterday
I saw a man staring in the deep freeze
Punch drunk by cardboard meals for one
Tonight
Moonlit profiles rush by
In a flicker book of dreams
That never happen
Odd particles of consumer durables
Scattered in this doorway
Where we got burned in the flames
Now
Only silence remains
Alleyway lights on dimmers
Housewives scan ads for slimmers
And girls that taste of perfume
Gaze into IKEA mirrors
A pink loveheart
Crushed on the laminate
At Flat 14A

PSYCHEDELIC SILHOUETTE - WARNING / REFERENCE to CLASS A SUBSTANCE
Let's create live theatre
Here now
With no rehearsal
No practiced lines
No start times
And no end times
I will arrange the lighting
Assorted candles
And a mini strobe
Blowing coloured shadows
Into the bathroom
I am the audience
You, a born entertainer
A psychedelic silhouette
Smoking crack in the bath
We discover our birthdays
Are two days apart
Tenth and twelfth of March
What else could one expect?
Coming together like this
This is 'live' theatre

SAVING A LIFE
Always thought
That l was born to save a life
Maybe yours?
Some guardian angel
Appearing out of the mist
By the Audi dealership
In your darkest moment
A luminescent being
With the third eye master plan
Reading like a script
From a television play
You will do all in your power to resist
But l....l will not be deterred
Not this time
You see,
Something happened while you slept
I watched you for four hours
All those little movements
Hand clenched
Unclenched
Some indecipherable incantation at 3.35am
Ten minutes later
You turned towards the wardrobe
Momentarily opened your eyes
And kissed me softly on the cheek
In your half sleep
Our first physical contact
And maybe the only physical contact
That would occur
While l was doing everything l could
To save your life

MOONCAR RADIO
Heavy mist star glow
Mooncar radio bleeds in the shadows
Blue stripe carrier bag
Twisting in the break light
Heel from size four shoe
Crying in the hedgerow
The transfixed gaze of officers
As passing phantoms
Carry cans through the suburban Netherland
Silent screams from deep within
Muted mercy cries at the bottle bank
Destroying evidence
Of second generation malfunction
Think blank
Mooncar radio bleeds in the shadows
Heavy mist star glow
On every roundabout
From here to eternity
Revolving emergency
Graffiti ghost breakdance in the subway
And half the population
Will suffer in silence tonight
And every night
Taken from DIRTY BLONDE AT THE CASH MACHINE
The subject matter just came from driving around Greenstead roundabout in Colchester. The Tesco carrier bag was blowing around and there was a police car and ambulance circumnavigating the roundabout. Anyone who knows this area will be aware of the subway. | | | |

'It's Katie, I really need to speak to you urgently....'
Your power
Taking me back
To the 24 hour service station
It's Katie
In all your glory
Your every move recorded on CCTV
And by me
I ended up with four of your plastic lighters
Your soft Oxfordshire accent running through me
All your messages
Recorded and digitised
I listen to them
Through the night
Sitting here
Waiting for you to call

HIGHBURY BEDSIT
Light the tip of an incense stick
Gently blow the flame out
And place the stick in a holder
Keep it away from curtains
And other soft furnishings
Use it as a natural air-freshener
Or simply enjoy it for the fragrance
Light eight vanilla and clove candles
And place them around the room
Do not put on the TV or any sensitive surface
Do not move when alight
Or when the wax is still liquid
Turn out all other lights
Turn on the dry ice machine
Turn on the smoke machine
Play 'We're only science' by Dot Allison
At maximum volume
Breathe in deeply
Count slowly to ten
Breathe in deeply again
You will find yourself rising slowly
From the floor
Do not be alarmed
You will be transported out through the sash window
Even though this window may be closed
You will rise to a level of approximately 100 feet above the ground
You will feel safe and warm
You will have the ability to see and move through buildings
Make any wish ...

Hand opening fridge door
Pan into yoghurt
Sound
Stiletto on ceramic
Silver switch clicks
A flick of blonde hair
Reminiscent
Of the first move
Captured
Between Kentish Town
And Tufnell Park
The same hand
No ring
Clasping
Veins slightly protruding
Face obscured
But a flick of blonde hair at Archway
Skin
Eyes
Texture
Then for a fleeting moment
Symmetry
Power
Engineered by Gods
Delivered by Angels
Highgate
Eyes fixed downwards
The thought of that hand
Turning the pages of a book
Stirring Coffee mate
At midnight
Gesturing at dinner parties
In East Finchley
Its warmth at night
Its coldness in December
In black satin
At The Adelphi

DIRTY BLONDE AT THE CASH MACHINE
Your dirty blonde hair
You're everywhere
I'm here
Seemingly nowhere
Tracing your moves
On some satellite tracking system
Following all these thin yellow lines
Running across the screens
Telling me that you spent
12 minutes at an address
Somewhere near the Tesco's roundabout
Doesn't tell me the street number
But l can guess
Your dirty blonde hair
You're everywhere
Standing in the kitchen
In your unmatching underwear
Throwing paper darts
At the washing machine
Last night's vodka and nicotine
A live fuse in the slipstream
And l'm here
But only just
Occupying a space near the tumble dryer
In your line of fire
Somewhat unnoticed
A living ghost
That just walked on to your private set
Trying to get close
It's been days now
Since I've been trailing in your shadows
Taking you
To vandalised payphones
In the dead of night
Listening to your anguished pleas
Watching your moves in rear view mirrors
Your dirty blonde hair
Getting everywhere
On the car seat with your takeaway Nescafé
Your compulsive addictive state
Putting me in a compulsive addictive state
Realising that somehow and against all the odds
You were capable of putting her
Out of my mind
The irony being
That you were rescuing me from my demons
While l may never be able
To rescue you from yours
Despite it all
In my mind
Rehearsing killer lines
Your heart beating next to mine
For longer than 40 minutes at a time
All your possessions
And all your worldly goods
That seem to amount to nothing more
Than 2 carrier bags
And that stuff that you
Carry around in your pockets
Tainted with the scent of freedom
Bring it here
Your dirty blonde hair
Your white skirt
And your Next shirt with the ripped collar
That transcends fashion
Don't go back to that run down b&b
Not now
Not ever

CHASER ( dedicated to the guys in MASSIVE ATTACK ).
There's a chaser out on the highway
Youths are spitting cola on windscreens
Near the interchange
Where
She's walking in the rain
Kicking her heels
Someone out there
Will be closing a deal before midnight
Someone saw a fadeout
And cut a face out of a shadow
Pasted it in a phone booth
At the airport in Glasgow
Where they're planning the next move
Through all the red lights
South
Of
The
City
In
A
Warehouse
Lit
With
40
Strobes
Crawling
Across

Floor
Up
The

To

Stripped
Bare

Someone ending it all on the hard shoulder
Kids pissing off bridges
And dropping concrete blocks on the track

SHADOW PLAY
Your psyche
Wielding its way
Up the staircase
Onto the landing
Bathes in the sun rays
Diffuses scent
Splays ten years of memory
In the microbe dust atmosphere
Some lurid pose
Virgin bitch
Whore goddess
In swirling musk
Biker speeds off in shadow world
Blasting rock leaking fuel
The kebab shop angel calls
Six digit cab numbers
Debris decorates the day
The headset still playing
On the spot where he lay
Talk to me baby
Rise up and walk away
Think of us in that shabby bedsit
Getting high on cola and love
Fish and chips off newspapers
The run down pubs
A utopian heaven
If only....
If only we could tell them
The ambulance arrived
The skies all florescent
The earth pulsating
Lifting us above the hollow
Mourners pouring out their grief
From the tower of St. Stephens
The colours of the flowers beneath
Lighting up this drab town
I'm coming round again
To see you in all your glory
In the cracked mirror
By the sash window
Above the kerb and the gutter
Where it all happens
The dog ends and the beer cans
The slaughter of the innocent
Want you to be the one
That l remember in ten thousand years
Clear as yesterday
Clear as now
Your head jerking backwards
Honey milk fusion
Moving dynamics
Shadow play illusion
Heard about twenty five layers of paint on some car
Saw the loose change in your coffee jar
Know where l would rather be
Press yourself against me in this film
In the cut the skies are all florescent
Push yourself against me in this dream
The beginning and the end
And everything in between

TALKING TO YOU
Begged, borrowed and stolen
I can see that now
It's not just something that people say
Not in your case anyway
I ask you where you spent Christmas Day
'Peterborough Prison'
So you got done for shop lifting clothes
In a win win situation
You either got to keep the clothes or got caught
And did three weeks
You got caught - your preferred option
With your own private room in a quiet corridor
With a brand new television
'Not much different from a hotel really
The main difference is that it is free
And all the meals are provided'
I can see that you've come so far
And that there is no stigma involved
And this is what l learn during our conversations
Allowing you to smoke your Rollie's
Blowing smoke rings
In this strictly non smoking environment
And you look me in the eye
And every thing about you is truth
Despite its origins
Could we create anything from this?
Something outside this project?
Strange how things have progressed
All the taped interviews
Trying to explain things to the police
I keep the things they gave me
Little white plastic tubes
And pieces of paper
Dealing with all their questioning
Their psyche, their prying
And tonight it's the blue lights again
But they just don't seem to get it do they?
We explain
They stand there with glazed expressions
It's all in reverse
Them, us, this
Turning itself upside down
The one with the clearest head by a mile is you
Because you know what fear is
Facing it all and dealing with everything
That is thrown at you with consummate ease
Everything has become so mad
That it is even becoming normal to me
We've got the Big Story
A year of this now and l can't begin to remember it all
Even with an 80,000 word journal to help me
Three books of poetry and a film all but finished
It moved so fast and we have come full circle
Several times over
And l still have the killer stuff to write
About the body parts in the freezer
I've been saving that for the ending
When maybe there will be no ending
Just a new beginning

RUST
You're in this deep
Even deeper than before
If that was ever possible
Keeper of the stash
A carrier bag of cash
That you use as a pillow
An expensive one at £16,000
The booty keeper
Night creeper
Light sleeper
Down here in the gravel
The dust and the rust
The walls are seeping
And you're not sleeping like you used to
And l'm watching you imagining the pictures that you see
And the voices that you hear
As you spiral downwards
Falling from an airplane
Breaking into pieces
Drowning in a whirlpool
You shake, and waking your eyes open
But you don't see me
Just an interrogators dazzle
Some fatalistic tailspin
A feather in a headwind
Crying in a hedgerow
Dying on death row
Then suddenly you leap
Your nails claw down the wall
You're not dreaming anymore
This is far worse

REACTOR
Flash of eyelash
Pulled up your coat collar and your hair was blowing back
Reactor
Street corner supernova
Time was when l became obsessive about someone like you
Coming through into the sanctuary of this inner space
Rapacious
Thriller
Killer in lace
Hint
Skin sin
Heady scene in the edited dream
Of 'The curse of the kiss'
Come a little closer said the jailer
Watch the trailer while l slowly undress you
You won't notice a thing
Stay fanatical
There's a picture in the supplement
All glossy
Sultry and seductive
It could easily be you
What do you think?
Blink
You're a death wish waiting in the shadows
Tongue
'The movable muscular structure in the mouth -
It is used for tasting'
And speaking?
Ravenous in the hallway

ZERO SECOND WARNING SYSTEM
By the third line
You'd opened up a chapter in someone else's life
Falling in slow motion from a motorway bridge
A starfish x-rayed against the ultra violets
Ricochets in the tyre tracks
Landing by a rose thorn near the roadside
Bleeding your beautiful blood in the gaze of Valentino
A week earlier you stood alone defiant
Your eyes so full of fire, so full of anger
'We want trees not tarmac'
A one person protest in a field at 10am
Joan of Arc on horseback in the city
Crushing all the cartons screaming revolution
I saw the Cathedral gleaming in the distance
My heart pounding drowning out the traffic
You were putting on you make up
In the splendent song of morning
Lowered my guard and revealed my soul
To window shoppers and post grads
Cascading around you, the place that l found you
All those months ago, when we went back to the bedsit
Saw your face in the fabric of everything
And now at this table l lay out the bank notes
Damp and camomile scented
Distant voices running through me merging together
Makes me feel
Like l don't know how l feel
