Oh, I see. おもしろいね～。
Can I say " cool biscuits (or bickies) " ?

It's like this:
The north of England was heavily influenced by people from Scandinavia, especially Norway, so lots of words and pronunciations are still loosely based on the Old Norse language. Also several places in the far north used to speak celtic languages, not english.

I don't think she ever lived in Hastings; she was born in London originally. You must have been to the museum. We didn't go, but we saw her house and the art gallery.

You are right. It was maybe a musium or something.
I don't know why but I got the feelings that I shouldn't have talked to the strangers often in Hastings...so I had no chance to ask anyone what it was...
One of my best friends used to homestay there, and she strongly recommended me to stay with the family there too so I did.
I enjoyed the beautiful beachs and all the tiny little shops and all that, but Hastings wasn't my favourite... I didn't meet any bad people at all, but why!?
Is Hastings too touristy place?

I haven't seen Summer Wars yet. I'm going to see if I can find a copy though. I really want to watch it!

Oh, I really want you to watch it! You will see where I live (sometimes).

Yes, I used to talk to my toys sometimes too! More often I'd talk, but pretend it was the toys talking to each other though.

Yeah, you are right! Oh I remembered.
I did that "puppet show" to my exboyfriend when I was drunk.
I asked him to stop watching the sports news late at night, cos he kept changing the channels but the results were the same every where! (Am I right?), but he kept saying あとちょっとだけ　あとちょっとだけ ..., but his あとちょっと was like forever!! So grabbed his gumdam toys, 2 of them, and I did that stupid show like:

Me " Hey my friend Gumdam. What do you think about his attitude?
Do you think it was my big mistake going out with that boy?"

Gundam " Yeah, you made a big mistake. Dump him! "

Me " Oh you reckon? What do you think Mr.Char Aznable? "

Char " He is just a kid. I can make him cry if you want"

Me " Really? Oh you're such a nice man Mr.Char Aznable! Go go! "

Char " Hey XXX (my ex's name), Stop watching the bloddy Telly! Listen to me or she will be mine! 5,4,3,2,1..."

My ex laught hilarious and said OK.

Yeah.... I haven't done that kind of show for a loooooong time.
I think I need a lot of yummy wine. hahaha.

Yes, that's correct.

cool beans and bananas!

Thats how I use them too. Or just for fun Like I'll say to someone I'm shooing out the room, "Go on, skiddle-skiddle!" or "Squiddle-on" meaning to move quickly in small movements, like how a toddler runs.

Oh, I just looooooooooooooooove that!
just like toddler runs? how cute.

mmm I can't think of any good ones in Japanese for that situation...
I would say しっしっしっ!(shooing) or はい、ばいば～い、ばいば～い
or... I know I know ちゃんちゃ～ん　ちゃかちゃか　ちゃんちゃん　ちゃか ちゃか　ちゃんちゃん　ちゃかちゃか　ちゃかかかかか かか♪
this is one of my favourite ones.
ちゃかちゃか = quickly
and this ちゃかちゃかsong is based on 運動会 song:
YouTube - 天国と地獄

Or I'll say something has "plammy" feet, meaning big flat feet. Ducks have plammy feet. Puppies have plammy feet that sound like "plam-plam-plam" when they run. ^_^
So never anything serious!

Yeah, I love those stuff.
Thank you for sharing! I loved it.

私の友達も北海道や山形に色々な所でWWOOFをしました。� ��島にある農場はとうじきを作っていました。そして、� ��の友達もとうじきの作る方を勉強しました。
すごいですね！

Wow! 陶磁器？Making pots and cups and plates....that's one of the things I 've been dreaming of. How nice! You should come to Japan to do the WWOOF and making cups too! I'd come with you

おもしろかった～
