If I'm reading this label correctly, this rice, in its uncooked state, is 102% carbohydrate by weight. Either there has been a misprint, or someone at Tesco has managed to completely rewrite the laws of physics.

Why does whoever fills my employer's vending machines insist on putting the Lucozade, in its red tin, beside the Coke Zero. That's just asking for an unobservant, uncaffeinated ejjit, in need of a sugar-free pick me up, to make a mistake.

Inconsistently foggy in Belfast this morning. The BT building is less 400m east and almost invisible. Presbyterian Assembly buildings are over 650m west and clearly visible.
