If you was ever wondering what the crispy bit is called it’s called concon. Quite common in the Caribbean to make rice like that.

It's the same in the middle East. I've seen some folk fight over the last bit

The end of this article has a huge bell.

One might say it has a huge bell end.

My bank (Lloyds) have just called me and have confirmed that, after my complaint on Wednesday, they are going to refund me every monthly account fee I've paid since May 1999!!!

It started at £5 a month and is currently £12.95 so goodness knows how much in total it will be but it's well over £1500!

Ka, and indeed, ching!!

So, the money has just gone into my account. That's quicker than I thought!

Erm, yeah, it's a terrifying £2576!!!

Well done, that's a really good result.

It's preposterous!

I've got a rice cooker from Iran. It's great. Put a bit of oil in and you end up with a crispy base that lifts off the non stick pan.

You can actually get away without this. If you wash the rice first, then once it warms up in the water, agitate the whole thing once for a few seconds - that way, you don't end up with a rice pancake at the bottom.

That's the best bit though

We always wash the rice but just let the cooker do its stuff, never had a problem with burnt rice in ours.

Went to Harry Potter themed shop and picked up a Knight Bus money bank

It's preposterous!

You want to pay my insurance for the year?

Which reminds me, how much insurance do you pay? You're still a relatively new driver.

I've been living in Japan five years now(four of those with my wife) and haven't bought a rice cooker yet. Man Plan. We use an IKEA saucepan I bought soon after arriving. It's not even non-stick. My wife taught me a good procedure for no stuck rice:

High power(or reasonably high) for 5-6 minutes, then low power for 10, then leave it sitting for another 10. Done.

We're considering a rice cooker, though. And a Roomba!

Smile: showed my wife a shot of the new Avengers trailer with the Black Panther guys in. She said she wants to see the Marvel stuff. I said there's a lot. She said "I'm down with it". Marvel marathon next week, perhaps?

Gotta post a smile when I'm just about to have a quite unexpected battle in a romper room full of adult babies in Yakuza 2.

For my 1.4 Peugeot 207 I pay £300 to have both my wife and I fully comp.

She's the main driver and I'm a named driver as she drives it more than me as I have a company car which is covered by work.

Another Yakuza 2 smile. Just got thrown a 'sweaty helmet' during battle.
