Yes it is.
Series is both a singular and a plural form. When it has the singular sense of “one set,” it takes a singular verb, even when series is followed by of and a plural noun: A series of lectures is scheduled. When it has the plural sense of “two or more sets,” it takes a plural verb: Two series of lectures are scheduled: one for experts and one for laypeople.
Copied that from dictionary.com, because I'm lazy.
By the way, do I remember that you have a Foster's beer fridge? Where did you get it?

Aside from the wonderful advice being plagiarized from the Cambridge Dictionary, I must officially tsk at this:
Now surely there is a screen grab of you in the audience of (one of many) TV shows? I tell people I only spend this much time on the web because you are all famous, (or infamous in the case of JM).
[/tsk]

Eeek. The cartoon is perhaps preferable.
No offence, mind.

Leave off - it's Marks trademark.Is it not in breach of the avatar rules anyway?
Perhaps it's time for a new picture as the last one from Mark was, IIRC, him in drag holding a bottle of detergent.
...addmittedly I did steal it for a while back on TVF, but that's not the point

Impressive indeed. But no internal light, I notice. And Fosters tastes of wee. Although you could always put something else in it. I realy am nitpicking here. I'm deeply envious, you see.
