Belated blogging lest I forget the moment.
Kamal at Mars always said I'd get on like a house on fire with his sister Nina, a lawyer working in Birmingham, and that we even had heart problems in common as well as trouble with men and were both fiery no nonsense characters. She rang one day and we chatted for ages like two old friends.
After promising to meet up one day when close enough, finally ntl sent me to Birmingham. Nina had to be crow barred from her work as she runs her own practice but we went for a drink by the canal (is it?). There was a lot happening in the car park and Nina was demanding to know from a guy how long he'd need his space and he was saying they were shooting a film and they'd need to be there all night. Half an hour later we found ourselves in hair and make up getting ready to be extras.
It was fab and they made us look gorgeous - we just had to sit at a table chatting while they filmed around us. Film looked pants - was a bollywood type with Michele Collins from EastEnders in Bend it Like Beckham style about a mixed race boy band. It flopped at the cinemas and can't recall what the final title was.
Personally the funniest part of this whole episode for me was at work the next day I was telling the guys how I was an extra in a film called 'Dare to Dream' but they all heard 'Dirty Dream' so I shocked the hell out of them.
Update: Called 'Don't Stop Dreaming' and so awful not on DVD. The review for it at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0459652/ says it is one of the top 5 worst movies ever.
