That Gormandizer Man: How London buses are numbered - TfL come up trumps! I tweeted yesterday that I'd received the most interesting email I'd ever been sent. I think that's still true. As a Planner, I'm supposed to be interested in everything. Well, regardless of whether I should or shouldn't be interested in everything, I am. It's just the person I am. When I don't fully understand something, I try and find the answer or some context to the subject. Last week I was waiting for the bus and wondered why they are numbered as they are, and why some have letters in front of a number. I emailed the following note to TfL: I just have a simple question that I'm hoping you can explain to me. I'm just wondering can you explain the number system to me please? Thanks Well, yesterday I received this response. We appreciate the importance of route numbers to London's bus passengers. The numbering of London's bus routes has evolved slowly since the earliest days of regular bus operation in the capital. How interesting is that!?

CULTURE MUSICALE • Une baguette pour changer le monde | Courrier Le jeune chef d’orchestre Vénézuélien, Gustavo Dudamel, est le nouveau visage d’El Sistema, une méthode d’enseignement de la musique à destination des plus pauvres. Ceux qui croient que les chanteuses d’opéra ­doivent être grosses, les pianistes romantiques et les chefs d’orchestre irascibles, despotiques et dépourvus de sens de l’humour, ceux-là resteraient sans voix face à la personnalité du Vénézuélien Gustavo Dudamel. Voilà un maestro qui ne se prend pas au sérieux. Il est capable de soulever une salle entière pour faire danser le mambo aux spectateurs. Il a hérité de son père Oscar, qui fut tromboniste dans plusieurs orchestres latinos du Venezuela, un côté chaleureux et piquant. Pour Gustavo, si la musique est avant tout émotion et gaieté, elle doit aussi servir à changer le monde. Gustavo Dudamel vient d’un pays du Sud, le Venezuela, où depuis plus de trente ans l’art et la musique sont devenus des armes de développement social. Gustavo Dudamel est le nouveau visage du projet.

The Elizabethan Insult Sirrah. Contrary to popular belief this word does not substitute for "sir". Remember that this word is considered an insult and only used to redress bad children, lazy servants, or downright rogues. E.g. "Sirrah, by my maidenhead I do not believe a single word that you have professed to be true. You are a rogue and scoundrel. Fellow. Many people have seen this in some shape or form or another. In order to use this insult generator choose one word from each column and combine them using "Thou art a(n)..." "Thou art a churlish, dismal-dreaming fustilarian." If you wish to make a longer, more interesting insult you could choose more than one word from columns one and two and combine them. "Thou art an artless, crook-pated, fawning, mewling, elf-skinned puttock." Feel free to add your own adjectives to the list as you get more comfortable with the process. Romeo: Lady, by yonder blessed moon I vow That tips with silver all these fruit tree tops Romeo: What shall I swear by?

NATATION • Le grand âge n’est pas une noyade | Courrier internat Championne de natation à 97 ans ? C’est possible, comme en témoigne l’histoire de Bernarda, une arrière-grand-mère espagnole qui repousse les limites de l’âge en nageant, raconte El País Semanal. Repères Alors que les statisticiens, au début du XXe siècle, tablaient sur une longévité maximale de 64 ans, il existe aujourd’hui dans le monde quelque 200 000 personnes ayant dépassé les 110 ans. “Petit à petit, je me suis retrouvée toute seul. Championne d’Europe 200 mètres, 100 mètres et 50 mètres dos. Née dans la province de Las Palmas aux Canaries en 1912, Bernarda Angulo détient deux records mondiaux de natation dans la catégorie des 95 à 99 ans : 400 mètres dos en bassin de 25 mètres et 400 mètres libres en bassin de 50 mètres. Depuis plus de cinquante ans, elle habite un quartier modeste de Las Palmas, au troisième étage d’un immeuble sans ascenseur. “Je nage mieux que je ne marche”, reconnaît-elle sans la moindre ironie. Son mari tenait une épicerie.
