Paras aloitus jutussa oli Fifteen years ago, Gordon Ritchie ran away from a woman to join the French Foreign Legion. In Ivory Coast’s remotest west, he recalls her name. ‘Margaret bloody Thatcher,’ he says, ‘God, I hated her.’ – James Astill, The Observer (16.3.2003)

Mainioin vertaus oli seuraavanlainen: the BBC’s annual income from all sources stands at £3.1 billion, roughly the the GDP of Estonia or Botswana – David Aaronovitch, The Observer (16.3.2003)

Paras kappale (jep, kokonainen kappale) kirja-arvostelussa oli The index is good, jonka tokaisi Euan Ferguson arviossaan Douglas Adams -elämäkerrasta Hitchhiker (oli muuten Observerissa ja arvaa minä päivänä?).
