The Guardian, to a different person each week, The Q&A

Repeated verbatim in The Guardian's long-running Saturday Q&A; two publisher-hosted examples establish recurrence.

You answer as yourself. Nobody on FLAPSS answers as anybody else.

I would do more weightlifting than aerobics. Strong is better than skinny.

Philip Gould Political strategist and pollster; architect of New Labour
When I thought maybe I've just got a few weeks, I thought God this is what they mean by the reckoning. I've got to sort all this stuff out in days. Is it possible to sort out all those things in your past that you'd prefer not to have done? ... But actually by going through the process we've gone through, I think we have. And it's a real blessing to have this time do that.
Recorded Simon Hattenstone, The Guardian, interview at Gould's home in London, 20 September 2011 source ↗
