Pedagogy of the Oppressed
Paulo Freire

[Honorary Bloke]

Don't know that one, mate. But I'll see you Freire and raise you a Bertrand Russell.

[jmk89]

I see everyone else's philosopher and raise them one Wittgenstein

I hate it when the illness that is serious enough to mean that you can't go to work also means that you can't go and do shed things (Currently I am laid up in bed with the worst attack of gout I have ever had - painkillers just keep the pain below screaming in agony and the thought of the pain in my right big toe from standing up at the bench makes my eyes water). Bugger,Bugger, Bugger:mad: :mad: :mad:
And so many projects I want to do.....Bugger, bugger bugger:mad: :mad: :mad:




In case you missed it - I am feeling sorry for myself and want to say Bugger, bugger bugger:mad: :mad:

I don't know if you take anything for the gout but I take a drug called Colgout (need a doctors prescription for it) and I just never get it now. But I can certainly relate to the pain and the thought also makes my eyes water.

Yeah, baz, I have heard of it - yesterday the quack said that since we have started on anti-inflamatories we should keep on for this attack, but then we may need to look atsomething like Colgout or Zyloprim. One apparent side-effect of Colgout is that it can lead to the trots. Any reports on that front?

Sometimes the angst in these threads so overwhelms me that I reach for my translation of Nietzsche and read a few chapters of Thus Spake Zarathustra and when I have done with that I always come to the realisation that there is, indeed, at least one writer more twisted than those on this Forum. But just the one. :eek:

Bob, I always thought it was Also sprache Zarathustra, which I thought translated as Zarathustra coughed as well!!
Now I'm really confused and I'll raise you all a matching pair of Descartes and throw in a DeSade for entertainment value.

Well, DeSade certainly adds entertainment value. :eek: You're not going to make me dig up Plato's Republic are you? And of course, my old friend Jean Paul Sartre's Nausea which makes me nauseous. Although Existentialism is the go, I suspect. If Zarathustra coughed, it was due to having a hernia examination.

The Philosopher's Song (Monty Python)

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya'
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
SOCRATES, HIMSELF, WAS PERMANENTLY ...

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart: "I drink, therefore I am"
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's !

If an inanimate object starts to give you grief it must mean it is thinking; if it can think it can feel pain. Put the boot into it! Extension leads are showing signs of malice too....

How's that Plato?

I don't really get the trots with it and I take two a day. The side effects of the trots is dose related and the trick is to balance the dose so as not to give the side effects and to give relief from the ailment.

I have a drug book called "The Australian Drug Guide" that tells me all the side affects of all the drugs that I take. (My son reckons I am a bigger druggie than he ever was. At least all mine are legal. Current count is seven prescription drugs that I take.

The problem with gout is that it is caused by too much uric acid in the system and the kidneys don't excrete it properly from your body and what the uric acid does is form crystals in the joints and this is what causes the pain and not only in the big toe but can actually form in any joint but the big toe is the most common place that it occurs. What the Colgout does is dissolve the crytals and helps the kidneys get rid of the uric acid from your body.

I don't know about anti-inflamatories but I do know when I ran out of Colgout once and didn't take any for a fortnight and ended up with an almighty attack of gout I went to the chemist and got the script filled within two days the gout was gone and started to get relief within four hours of taking them.

Naahh, Existentialism has been Thoreau-ly done to death

Especially when the goodies hide under the plastic moulded insert, or its assorted dominoes or the assorted drill bits for the C12:eek: :eek:
