Powerful words, Laura. I must admit, I hadn't come across that term before. But I'm an old git that doesn't get out much.

I had the pleasure of attending a few Sunderland games a few years back (around 12) I guess as the guest of a supporter from our village. I saw Robbie Keane grab a late draw for Spurs while Luka Modric was playing for us. I sat on a table with Jim Montgomery who was a Sunderland Ambassador who reminded us he had won a European Cup medal in 1980 with Nottingham Forest, Memories.

Many thanks, Greg and John. Your comments are very much appreciated. Some elements of this conflict seem to be beyond satire, and sometimes ripe for it, such as the 'Staged Events'. But claiming you have 'liberated' people whose town and lives you have completely destroyed, and then forced to flee, that takes some beating.
And thanks to Frederick, Tom, Julie and Rudyard for liking.

That sounds right to me,MC. The question exists because both “the nub” and “two occasions” are the subject of the sentence ie neither is the object. We can see they are both subjects by inverting them ie “the two occasions were the nub...” From schooldays I seem to recall transitive and intransitive verbs come into play when parsing.

The nub indeed! I think it's correct as written. Conversely, had you written "Two occasions were the nub of it" - that would have been OK. It's about what qualifies what.

Giving blood is one of the most democratic and ennobling functions of the human condition. In that respect it ranks alongside voting.
As an afterthought, I wonder if any of the royal family give blood. That truly would be sharing the blue blood.

I’m sure he must have been in a rotten mood and at the end of his tether about something or other, MC. Something made him snap. And just as he forgave me in that instant I too have forgiven him for his once-in-a-lifetime mistake.
Incidentally, for the grammarians amongst you, should it be “the nub WAS ...” or “WERE the two occasions”, since “nub” is singular but “occasions” is plural?

It seems likely to me that your father was moved to do what he
did because whatever you did or said affected him deeply. In
short, perhaps he cared TOO much about you at that moment.
I would say that is something to keep in your heart as a "positive"
in your father/son relationship.

To JC and JC - thanks for the comments.
The difference between Royalty and other "notable" figures in
public life is that the former are punctilious and polite in
responding to communications.
