Codswallop

In search of the elixir of life, or at least slowing down the slide towards decrepitude, I've been taking these cod liver oil capsules for about a month now. I don't feel any better than I did before.
When we were kids my mum bought a great big jar of malt and cod liver oil for us. Bloody awful stuff - I can still remember the taste. My mum said that when she was little she used to sneak in the pantry with a teaspoon and help herself because she loved it so much. The only explanation I can come up with is that there was a war on.
