Superminis with 1400cc engines are a common sight in the modern marketplace. 1.4 litres always seems a good fit in cars of this size and the buying public tends to snap them up.

Forget what you thought you knew about superminis. It turns out that they’re no longer the practical small cars you choose to cope with the mundane journeys that litter your everyday life.

Honda is not your ordinary car company and the Jazz is not your ordinary supermini. This is a manufacturer that doesn’t believe in following the herd.

It's testing times during cold snap

Thursday, 25 February 2010

Much to my annoyance and regret, this weather has put my bike testing on hold; there’s absolutely no point sampling new models on damp roads made ultra greasy with salt or, worse still, ice.

If you can’t afford a new Audi A4 Avant estate, how about the old one? SEAT can help buyers happy to retreat fractionally from the cutting edge of the compact executive market and settle for something that was gracing the very best driveways in the most salubrious parts of suburbia just a few short years ago.

All Our Yesterdays: Star Gazing in Armagh

  • Mr Terence Murtagh (centre foreground) at the controls of the new telescope, with lecturers Mr John Tate (right) and Mr Martin Campbell.   4/11/1975
  • Dr Harlow Shapley showing members of the Queen's University Guild some star plates, taken by the Schmidt telescope at Bloemfontein, in South Africa , when they visited the Observatory in Armagh.   21/5/1959
  • Research Astronomer Br John Butler, who has been at Armagh Observatory since 1973. 9/5/1990

All Our Yesterdays: Star Gazing in Armagh They have been staring into space in Armagh for over two centuries. The city's observatory, founded in 1790, is the second oldest in the British Isles and remains an important centre for astronomical observation today. A new departure in 1966 was the plan to build a planetarium in the grounds of the observatory, where visitors could watch 360 degree displays of the night sky and through audio-visual presentations understand more about the universe we live in. It was the first non-commercial public venture of its kind in the British Isles and by July of that year the £70,000 building was starting to take on its distinctive circular shape. Much of the work was personally supervised by the planetarium's first director, TV astronomer Patrick Moore. It took two years before the planetarium was finally ready for its first public showings. The official opening was carried out on May 1, 1968 by the then Northern Ireland Prime Minister,Terence O'Neill. I have selected some photographs from our archive, from the build to the people who have worked there. By Paul Carson
