Eminem goes West

The new Eminem album’s opening ‘skit’ is called ‘Dr. West’. I heard it and got really excited, because I thought it sounded like Jimmy McNulty. I assumed I was the first person ever to have noticed this, and I could break it to the world. Of course, it was Jimmy McNulty, or rather it was Dominic West, in his normal posh English voice, and his appearance has been well documented.

Has anybody else found that once you’ve heard him speaking English, McNulty’s ‘Baltimore’ accent sounds terrible forever? Like a detective Dick van Dyke (in Mary Poppins, not the program where he plays a detective). Oddly enough, Dick van Dyke was the same age in Mary Poppins, 39, that Dominic West is now. Moral = Dick van Dyke is very, very old.
