Is this possible in common time?
So I count 1 crochet, 1 minim, 2 quavers, and 6 semiquavers
that makes 1+2+1+1.5 = 5.5 beats I can't see how that's ever common time and the placement of the semibreve just makes my head hurt. Is this some un-notated tuplet skulldugery? How do I do this?

Use a series of gracenotes

ah, you're right, they are smaller than normal notes thank you
They are not semiquavers but as JoJo says grace notes. Grace notes take up no extra time in the bar, the little time they do take is "pinched" from others notes in the bar, in this case The D quaver.
