I remain unconvinced.

Its all good fun, discussing, musical taste, genres etc....not sure we should be going into detail on this thread though........without trying to be a thread Nazi!

That place was smaller than our front room. I saw The Heavy Metal Kids there. My ears bled for a week.

I saw the Heavy Metal Kids in Rugeley in 1977.

Definitely better than that stodgy and over-produced rockpop from Steinman...

THERES should be there's or there is. Or am I discussing the wrong part?

Yea, alright pendant I was typing it in a rush

 

[Tom Hark]

There are, surely?

 

[leedswolf]

There is (referring to a couple) is correct.

 

[Tom Hark]

There is (referring to a couple) is correct.

No, 'couple' is a modifier, not the subject. The verb is linked to '[a couple of] tunes', plural.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Is 'couple' singular or plural?

It depends on how it's used

Finishes with "We will end here. We still do not know why life must be so hard."

First line sums it up. As does the last.

Also in the single/plural debate is the American way of referring to sports teams in the singular - eg "Wolves is" rather than "Wolves are"

That's not a debate. They're wrong, we're right.

Nobody arguing about my statement re the bay city rollers songs being ace, just a misplaced apostrophe
