Celebrity One-upmanship

Last Thursday we ate at an Indian Restaurant at the Madinat called Ushna which was, as usual, very good. My jaw dropped slightly when Greg Norman came and sat directly next to us on the next table. I mentioned it casually to my colleague at work this morning. He replied by saying that his parents were over visiting, also staying at the Madinat, and that they had bumped into George Clooney over the weekend!

My personal 'celebrity' tally in Dubai now runs to Peter Schmeichel at The Montgomerie golf club, Chris Eubanks in Starbucks, Johnny Herbert and Jean Alesi at the Autodrome. Our friend Jan has also notched up Frankie Dettori and Colin Montgomerie. I'm still keeping an eye out for Jim Davidson ...
