Please forgive me, this is nothing to do with wine…

Last Saturday night after scoring two goals for his Real Madrid team, the footballer Cristiano Ronaldo went out for a meal with his girlfriend. On his journey home at about 01.30am on Sunday morning Ronaldo, in his brand new Audi R8, was stopped by the police during a routine check of driver and vehicle documents.

For some reason (which was not made entirely clear) Ronaldo didn’t have his paperwork in the car, and instead turned to the policeman and said “Do you know who I am?”

The policeman allegedly returned to his vehicle, radioed his headquarters and said “Quick! Please send an ambulance, there’s a guy here who doesn’t know who he is!”

Well, actually, the last part is what should have happened, but the reality was actually much more mundane. Apparently Ronaldo made a call and simply waited an hour until someone arrived with his documents, although I have to say that I think I prefer my ending!
