Oozes charm and corruption in equal measure. :-)

Brilliant show. If you get a chance, you should read Richard Price's 'Clockers'. A 1992 novel that "centers around the workings of a local drug gang and the dynamics between the drug dealers, the police and the community." Some of my favourite moments from The Wire are directly taken from it e.g. when the two cops and two kids bump into each other in the cinema with their respective dates. Price later became one of the writers for The Wire. (He first novel The Wanderers (1974) is a greaser, rock 'n' roll cult classic. It was adapted into an ok movie in 1979, released at the same time as The Warriors) I became addicted to The Wire for a three month period in late 2008. Brilliant show.

I was just watching the bit in season three where he calls Bushmills "a Protestant whiskey." He's MickNulty alright. ;) One to look out for next time around.
