A headline in today's paper:
"Here comes 18 months of wasted time"
I would say, "come," since "18 months" is plural. Did the headline writer think of "18 months of wasted time" as a single idea? Seems like a stretch to me! You?

Yes. I think the intent was to present "18 months of wasted time" as a single idea and not as specific months. I would use "comes."
It would be different if he didn't include "of wasted time."
Thanks for your input. I can see it is open to interpretation.
