Re: Here is one for entomologists on UTC.
The word 'bug' goes back to Early English and is first attested in this form about 1620, which is coincidentally the year the first English pilgrims arrived on the Mayflower in America.

Re: Norwich predicted scoreline
I just hope we try and play football on the deck with decent ball retention (not easy for Burnley). If we do, we could win by two clear goals. If it's back to hoofball, they will give us a tough game, they play good attacking football.
