If you were to look at me, you'd assume I'm just a cat. An exceptionally handsome feline, it's true, but a common or garden moggie all the same. But oh, no; I'm so much more than that! I mean, how many cats do you know who would list "travel", "going to the pub" and "music" among their interests?
Here is a list of the various hostelries, pubs, halls etc I've visited over the last five years. I've never had to buy a drink yet!
