It's Friday once more (January 16), and today, because the NME is in the grip of an obsession with HBO's series 'The Wire' - we got the box set for Christmas - we thought we'd bounce around some 'Wire'-themed puns to waste time until the pubs open.

Here are a few we've come up with so far:

Jimmy Eat World McNulty
Omar Rodruigez-Lopez
Thelonious Bunk
Stringer Andy Bell
The Stash
5.0. Cent
The Corner Shop
Stringer Bell-Rays
Omar Ah Ha
Rawls Against The Machine
Proposition Joe Jackson
Michael Baltimore
Carver USM
