PelleNilsson - 1/22/2006 7:01:09 PM Here is the class photo again and below it another one from the same period.
I take this opportunity to requote my immortal ode to that photo:
Pelle drives a Ferguson;
a Ferguson, a Ferguson.
Pelle drives a Ferguson;
a Massey, Massey Ferguson. 3536. robertjayb - 1/22/2006 7:48:26 PM Fourth from the left in the middle row, directly in front of the tall person with lots of hair. 3537. wonkers2 - 1/22/2006 8:03:13 PM w2 agrees with rjb. But w2 prefers International Harvester or John Deere tractors. Nothing runs like a Deere!! 3538. jexster - 1/22/2006 8:57:49 PM Speakeasy Restaurants in Bay Area
Speakeasy restaurants with chic cuisine and rock-bottom prices are springing up around the Bay Area right in people's homes -- such as this one in Oakland's Rockridge district that is preparing lamb chops over fennel-cornbread stuffing and browned brussels sprouts. Getting in is all about who you know (and who they know.)
Underground Gourmet 3539. PelleNilsson - 1/22/2006 9:10:52 PM You are right, of course.
The small Ferguson tractor was exactly what was needed when the large-scale mechanisation of farming started here after WWII. The village smiths were busy refitting horse-pulled contraptions for tractor-pulling. The only big investment needed, apart from the tractor itself, was a plow, usually with two blades, which together with the higher speed and inexhaustible stamina of the tractor meant a massive productivity increase. 3540.

This must be from about 1950. The poor girl I'm martyring is now a drama actress of some repute here in Quebec. 3541. wonkers2 - 1/23/2006 4:56:55 PM Back row right or center of middle row? 3542. thoughtful - 1/23/2006 8:11:32 PM Interesting to note the boy/girl segregation in pelle's class picture 3543. ronski - 1/23/2006 11:21:27 PM We went skiin' yesterday. This is at Belleayre, in the Catskills.
 3544. judithathome - 1/23/2006 11:38:02 PM Marc-Albert, when I looked at that picture, I said to myself "I hope he's the one torturing that kid in front!" and was thrilled when I read the caption under it to see I was right!
Good looking kids in that picture! 3545. robertjayb - 1/23/2006 11:42:11 PM What news of your son, judith? 3546. Magoseph - 1/24/2006 12:15:14 AM Check here, Robert: Message # 18316 in thread 142 3547. judithathome - 1/24/2006 12:16:01 AM Nothing til tomorrow when he goes for more tests...thanks for asking.
I still feel if it had been "dire", they would have sent him straight to the hospital. 3548. arkymalarky - 1/24/2006 1:36:51 AM What a set of whitewalls you have there, M-A. 3549. Marc-Albert - 1/24/2006 2:08:51 AM LOL. You're very observant.
 3550. Marc-Albert - 1/24/2006 2:10:21 AM Judith, we all hope for the best. 3551. Macnas - 1/24/2006 12:16:44 PM Last night, pheasant stuffed with sage, onion, some garlic, wensleydale & cranberry cheese. Topped off with some bacon rashers.
I'm still stuffed. 3552. Magoseph - 1/24/2006 2:52:42 PM I’m curious about where the pheasant came from and whether or not you had a local wine with this scrumptious meal, Mac.
3553. PelleNilsson - 1/24/2006 2:58:56 PM I'm quite sure that Macnas shot it over the weekend. Local wine? You mean Irish wine? Maybe it exists, but I doubt it. Not enough sun on that rain-drenched island.
I've only had pheasant twice and both times I found the meat dry and disappointing. Comments, Macnas?
