It might have been worse had it been Tony Christie.
On a gramatical note did Oasis’s need the second s? Just asking, as I’m not at all sure one way or t’other.
It does not need the second S, but it is not incorrect. Either option is acceptable, as long as it is done consistently throughout the text.

Many thanks. Neither wholly right nor wholly wrong. Everybody’s happy.
a guy is contemplating suicide and you harangue him about grammatical rubbish…ha that’s great…

Standing on the Forth Bridge ready to jump, if a copper shouted at me, “Don’t do it, mate. There’s a dangling participle in your last ‘Blog post!” I’d climb back to safety before you could say “Fowler’s Modern English Usage“.
