Sacheverell. Saccheveral. Sachevarall. Sod it.

Dear Neil,
If somebody does answer your question regarding nftcd will you post it on your journal please? It's messing with my mind and freaking me out a bit.

Anybody who has visited it remembers it as peculiar. But certainly not as peculiar as this
Many thanks,
Anastasia
