    And here I was, thinking...

    ... that a bunch of coders with a serious case of cabin fever were let loose on an unsuspecting resort town.

        No wonder the "snake removal" specialist failed twice - obviously one would need the Sword of Gryffindor to vanquish such a beast.

        Coat? Yes please, and the hat. The Sorting Hat, of course...

    That's probably "Nagini"

    Unless that was another of those systematic word changes in the US editions...

    Golf course threatened also then ?

    Fun golf course there too. Half surrounded by great swamp, so good chance of losing a ball, or arm and leg to crocs if one went off fairway. Water trap was a sod too, right in front of tee off on No 9. As much fun as an open air theatre in Northern Territory being interupted by a couple of amourous athletic snakes one night. People scattering everywhere. I miss remote areas, dull one day, hillarious the next.

    is a "Django"
