Jazz up your motoring

Advantages: space, comfort, flexibility, fuel economy
Disadvantages: absolutely none for me

...crystal clear and rich that I'm not going to bother. FM radio reception is perfect and the cassette gives no hiss and has the ability to search for and repeat tracks. 8/10 (because the radio/cassette is excellent, but I think a CD should be standard in any car in 2003) Criteria 5: Affordable insurance My Jazz is in insurance group 3E which is superb. I have no no claims (my sister having written off my car on my insurance last year) and I pay under £500 per year. Criteria 6: Quiet and reasonably powerful engine The Jazz is very quiet indeed when sitting in traffic. In fact, it's easy to think that you've stalled. Noise levels do obviously rise the faster you go, but on the motorway it's still a hell of a lot more silent than my old Escort and you can easily have a conversation at normal voice level. Power-wise, again...

Review of Honda Jazz

  HONDA JAZZ 1.4 SE CVT-7. AUTOMATICALLY BETTER?

Advantages: Great Transmission. Smooth Engine. Low Running Costs. Hugely Spacious Interior. Build Quality.
Disadvantages: Messy Dashboard Styling. Uninspiring Exterior Styling.

...WHAT IS IT? The Jazz is Honda's entry into the highly contested and ever popular "supermini" market. It is a five door hatchback, a very simple range to choose from as there are no variants; saloon, convertible etc, all Jazz models therefore share the same "two box" styling. For those of you to whom it may be important, the dimensions are as follows: Length 3845mm x Width 1878mm x Height 1525mm. It is therefore a fairly short, yet wide and tall small car, having a tardis affect inside where it seems much larger than you would think looking at the car sitting next to the pavement. There are any number of competitors from Japanese, Korean and European countries, probably its' most likely competition can be found in the form of the Ford Fiesta, Mitsubishi Colt, Nissan Micra and Vauxhall Corsa, all of which offer a much larger...

Not only for the wise

Advantages: A joyful celebreation of life
Disadvantages: It ends...

...Wise Children, like all Angela Carter's novels, is very, very, very hard to quantify. The novel itself is a minefield of clichés, stock characters and contrived situations waiting to happen. My point being: this never happens. Ever. Not at all. This does not seem possible. Contextualisation: knowing the name and not much else I picked up the novel second hand, having read the first few pages in the shop. I was enjoying it but there was the niggling thought in the back of my mind: this book could get annoying. But I knew it would take 30 or forty pages to find out and so what was there to lose. What indeed? I bought it. Wise Children, on the surface, is the tale of Dora and Nora Chance (known in their 'glory days' of music hall / vaudeville as the Lucky Chances), bastard offspring of Thespian Sir Melchior Hazard, one...

Review of Wise Children - Angela Carter

Warranty Wise - no problems

Advantages: Good tailored policy
Disadvantages: None

...I have had a number of warranties for used cars and this firm are very good. Like all insurance it is important to take a policy which has terms suitable for you. What I liked about this policy is that you can tailor it to your own needs. The most important things about car policies are the wear and tear, excess and labour rate. Most policies exclude wear and tear. Get one that for a small premium ignores wear and tear. Otherwise most components on an older car won't be covered. Get one with a labour rate that is realistic. Avoid large excesses otherwise you will never claim. Warranty Wise were quick with their payment. Okay like most you had to give them every document that they wanted but that is within the terms. Don't like the terms then don't accept. I had a photochromatic dipping rear mirror on my M3 that failed. No problem...

Review of Warranty Wise

All that Jazz

Advantages: Very very clever package
Disadvantages: almost none

...”. Cute? What the bloody hell does that mean? I’ll tell you what it means. It means I can’t bloody win, that’s what “Cute” means. Even if I get everything else perfect, she can always get me by quoting the “Cute” amendment. “Yes dear, it may be all those things and it may be quicker than a very quick thing but it just isn’t cute”. Bugger. So, I looked at the little Polo Diesel and the Mini One. The only other car that caught my eye was, the Honda Jazz. The Polo does it on economy and build quality, the Mini One on “cute” and the Honda ‘cos I think it’s dead clever. Anyway I took my lovely lady to view all three one Sunday afternoon in May. The Polo didn’t even get a test drive. She sat in it and immediately pronounced it “...

Jazz Cafe - Charming, Unpretentious and Worth a Visit!

Advantages: Good Food, Nice Atmosphere and Lively
Disadvantages: Can be a little pricey...

...If you've been to Bath, or live there as I do, you'll have noticed that prices are high and getting decent ordinary, unpretentious food can be an obstacle if you want to sit somewhere nice indoors. The Jazz Cafe sets to remedy this by giving us the option of siting in an atmospheric environment and eating some lovely grub for a reasonable price. Food And Drink You can eat and drink all sorts of things here. The breakfasts range from various things on toast (including eggs) and light bites to the Jazz Cafe Breakfast - which is a double the usual size full English. That'll sort you out for a day walking around Bath! The quality of meat is good, the bacon's thick and the sausages taste really nice. The cooked breakfasts come with two enormous pieces of toast, beans, egg and - get this - REAL mushrooms! Not tinned! The Full...

Review of Jazz Cafe, Bath

Honda jazz 2003-2008

Advantages: Great economy and excellent interior space
Disadvantages: Plain exterior design

...The Honda Jazz is a very fun car, its small and easy to park and the interior design has been well thought out, the space is utilised very well, its almost a small wagon with the seats all folding away and creating a large area to carry things around town, I have noticed a few cases of the CVT transmission developing shuddering when taking off and slight oil leaks from the sump in some cases. Im very impressed with this car, and with the new model now released im sure we will not be dissapointed. Its an all round great town car with many uses, and excellent fuel economy, and they are a reasonably priced vehicle. I have driven the sport model and these are a step up in looks. This cars interior design of the dash was upgraded at some point with nice sterio and speedo design. In my opinion the car will not let you down in reliability...

Review of Honda Jazz

Wise children read this book (run out of puns)

Advantages: Funny, scandalous, happy ending
Disadvantages: Structure leaves a lot to be desired - you might get lost

...I bought this book '3 for £1' from a charity shop having only vaguely heard of Angela Carter, but when faced with a bunch of books I have no idea how to choose from, I usually go for the prettiest cover, or the author with the nicest name. In this case, having found 2 books, and faced with a shelf of unknown authors, I went with the one who shared a name with my mother. Awh. The Author Wise Children was Angela Carter's last novel before she died of cancer, aged 51. It is full of references to the works of Shakespeare that surrounded her childhood, introduced by her mother, and the Hollywood films her father took her to see. She was born in 1940 and during the war lived with her grandmother in Yorkshire who introduced her to the feminism that pervades many of her books. The Bloody Chamber, for example, is one of her...

Review of Wise Children - Angela Carter

Time to jazz things up a little

Advantages: loads of fun
Disadvantages: expensive for a small car

...Having been a Big Car driver for many years, I decided a year ago this week to become more environmentally friendly. Looking for something a little less staid than the Saab, Merc and Rover 75 that had been my previous three cars, the five door Honda Jazz caught my attention by jumping up and down excitedly on the forecourt whenever I drove by. I had to have it because it made me feel so happy. I even like the brand name. It's high safety spec, (special mention given to Honda's award for pedestrian safety) and solid security features galvanised me into the decision. This is a little car, tiny in fact, on the outside. I'm almost five feet tall and I can reach across the roof to wash it! It has curved lines with a little snub nose and the girls and I think that from the front it looks like a little cat. Get inside though...

Not yet a Wise Woman

Advantages: Smells great, really hydrating, smoothes skin.
Disadvantages: Expensive, heavy.

...As a consultant with The Body Shop At Home I get to try out lots of different products, well how can I tell people if I think a product is any god or not and talk about it with any certainty if I haven't?! Well that is my excuse anyway. As a consultant I have to keep my kit up together and try and make more sales by getting customers interested, a good way of doing this is by letting them try the product they are interested in for themselves. To enable customers to use some of the products I am now able to buy samples of a few products and so have. I purchased several of the different samples on offer after doing a large party. One of these samples was a pack of 20 Wise Woman Day Cream samples. I have tried the cleanser and eye creams which were in my kit when I first received it and I always show these at parties (unless the guests...
