[ #9994 ]

/me points at miyagawa's journal.

  • Slang for masturbation/orgasm I seem to recall. From my youth in the toilets at school a typical 'witty' remark to someone:

    "Oi John, what are you doing in there, turning Japanese mate?"

    Followed by the equally witty:

    "You'll go blind you will".

    Oh, those were the days :-)

        Dave Fenton was the sound engineer at The Cartoon Club for many years in Croydon. He did many a knob twiddling (pun intended) on the soundboard for ARK (http://snap.to/ark) when I was their lighting engineer. A very nice man
