lousie wener

Solve a debate for me.

Is her name pronounced wiener as in the american slang for you know, or wener as in when-er?



  • weee - nerrrrr

    I believe

  • it's wenn-er

    Definitely my first music-related wank.

  • Lousy wiener

    .

  • man, i did not know this

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louise_Wener

    Wener is now the author of three novels: Goodnight Steve McQueen, The Big Blind (retitled The Perfect Play) and The Half Life of Stars. She also teaches novel writing and poker courses, and has formed a new band 'Huge Advance' with partner Andy, although they currently only play in and around their residential suburb of Crouch End.

      Is above and beyond the call of duty! I have read goodnight steve mcqueen and it is brilliant. Brilliant.

      • whats it like?

        • er...

          much akin to high fidelity except if the main character was in a band rather than worked in a record shop. When-er or wiener though??

      • goodnight steve mcqueen

        is bloody hilarious! i was so relieved when it turned out to be good. :)

    • John Harris (the journo)

      is in Huge Advance also.

      The name is clearly a reference to the "......half a million pounds and no one laughed" section of his book about Britpop.

  • I'll always say Wiener

    even if it is wrong

    • I did quite like them

      in my metal daze, weirdly enough, but she always seemed quite hated........

      • now look what you made me

        do, I just re-bought 'The It Girl' for 67p from Amazon.......

        Intrigued about all the hatred at the time?

        • They were alright I suppose

          Although I can only remember four of their songs.

          What Do I Do Now is great, though.

  • It's 'Wenner'

    but saying 'Wiener' is so much more satisfying. Particularly considering she totally is one, like, yeah, Beavis? A-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh.

    Oh, and I refuse to believe her books are any good. REFUSE.
