The really meaning of having ""nine lifes ""like a cat""

Justice...it's good he has been released. Even if his motives were not 100% right (for the overthrowing the president of that country) it was good news that someone was taking that action. Simon Mann was betrayed by others. They deserve something bad..

The pardon that was bought at a vast expense. A very silly boy indeed.
