I know people like this. Jun. 24th, 2009 @ 11:15 am
Watching an episode of QI. Emma Thompson just told the story of her Oscar-winning script for Sense and Sensibility being rescued by Stephen Fry. Her computer had fritzed, and her script was unreadable. She called a computer tech, who couldn't fix it, so she took her computer bodily (in her dressing gown, apparently) by taxi to Stephen's house, and begged him to fix it; she said it took him seven hours. Apparently Hugh Laurie was there, too.

Stephen Fry made a comment about the advantages of being a nerd. I know people like that, though - the people who fix computer problems that supposed computer experts can't fix.

(Alan Davies joked that he couldn't actually fix her computer, so he just wrote the script because it would be faster.)

If nothing else, it's also nice to know that Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie and Emma Thompson are all still friends, after all these years.
