The dramatic weather has knocked every other story in the world off the front pages which must be \u00a0the reason why a story published \u00a0in The Guardian this week slipped under the wire. Get this! Apparently scientists have finally found the elixir of life, a way to stop us from aging \u2013 in fact even better than that \u2013 away to turn back the clock. No I am not lying . In fact I am standing up waving a flag and shouting get me a packet of fags, a bottle<\/p>\n

of gin and a half hundred weight of red meat I am going to live forever.<\/p>\n

So what the hell am I on about?<\/p>\n

Well scientists at Harvard University \u00a0have regenerated \u2013 yes regenerated! \u2013 the organs of aging mice. \u00a0\u2018What we saw in these animals was not a slowing down or stabilisation of the ageing process. We saw a dramatic reversal \u2013 and that was<\/p>\n

scientists deal \u00a0with the nodules, and wibbly bits \u2013 just get me the drugs and fast!<\/p>\n

Happy to report I have just got myself a giant mouse suit and am off to see if I can slip in under the wire.<\/p>\n

Of course it could be argued we have never seen a mouse with crows feet, a grumpy facial line or two? I mean look at Minnie for heaven\u2019s sake? Line free at\u00a0 80 odd she always \u00a0seems they have always had the elixir of life. Of course she is a cartoon and checking out the grungy old hairball at the top of this blog leaves us in no doubt rodents wrinkle too.<\/p>\n
