Where's Hodge

Oh, this is quite funny. We were at Phil Nichols's leaving do a couple of months back and in the curry house there was a track playing which Conrad said was from a movie he was an extra in when he travelled to India last year. He couldn't remember the title of the movie and had never seen it, so he asked one of the waiters what it was (the waiter was impressed to be in the presence of a Bollywood movie star but not so impressed that he gave us all free food). The next day, thanks to the magic of Bit Torrent, Conrad was in possesion of the movie. I've seen it. It's hilarious. It's not supposed to funny but that the fact that it's a big budget Bollywood movie with occasional shots of Conrad staring right at the camera makes it hilarious.
You can see a couple of pictures here and here. If you've never met Conrad before, he's the one in the background staring right at you. What's even funnier, and I promise this isn't Photoshopped in any way, is that one of his travelling companions, sporting one of those "I'm travelling and therefore don't have to shave" type beards was doing the exact same thing, and was even more obvious.
