Thought I’d post the lyrics that inspired the title of the previous post …

---

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 Nietzche couldn’t teach ya ‘Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.

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 whisky every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle.
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And René 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 pissed.

What a weekend ! We’re all three thankful that that’s done with.
It started on Wednesday when Michael had a routine check-up … it seemed he wasn’t gaining weight (which is bad !) … So, off to Holles St. hospital with him for a complete check-up, and they decided he wasn’t getting enough feeding (seems it happens frequently with breast-fed babies).
To make a long story short, he was admitted on Wednesday evening for ‘fattening-up’, which is where they double-feed the babies to help them gain weight … he did well, and was making great progress, so on Saturday we got to take him home again. (Not before we’d both had some much-needed rest!)

The downside to this ‘fattening-up’ process is that he’s now supplementing his draught supply with a full 4oz feed of formula every 3 hours or so … he’s gaining weight alright … but in the process he’s making his daddy’s hair a little grayer
