“Toula!” Toula jumped when she heard her father’s shout. “Papa, what’s wrong? Have you run out of Windex?” Gus Portokalos looked up from the newspaper at his daughter. He couldn’t work out if she was really concerned or just teasing him. “Hmm! I never run out of Windex, Toula, you should know that!” Gus brought up a spray bottle from under the table and sprayed her hand. “I’ll get rid of whatever that is on your thumb…” He sprayed her before she could pull her hand away. Toul

Remy pushed the chopped vegetables into a hot pan and heard them sizzle in the olive oil. Linguini smiled. Another perfect pan of ratatouille thanks to Remy’s recipe, he thought. “Come on, I’m doing the cooking, Colette is out looking for the best ingredients in Paris, and none of us can deal with any more paperwork!” Remy said. Linguini nodded. “I know, I know! And you’re a rat, so keeping up with paperwork and writing isn’t your forte.” Remy sniggered: “The only paperwork w

The plans for the rebuilt Fhloston Paradise Hotel shimmered in a hologram in front of Ruby Rhod. “And now, here are the plans for Fhloston Paradise Hotel 2, all fresh and shiny from the space architect. What do you think, people? Do you love it? Who cares! I do! And, as I’m the new owner that’s all that matters…Green!” Ruby smiled into the camera. “I’ll be doing my show daily from the most notorious place in the universe, in memory of the great singer Plavalagula. Now that th

All too often, we find that before implementing Mango, most companies haven't really got good control over all of their assets. Some assets are obvious, physical entities; things like: Access equipment (including keys or fobs) IT equipment Ladders Lifting equipment Machinery But some assets are less tangible, but no less valuable - indeed, a company's intellectual property may be worth more than some of the physical assets. If ever you wish to sell your business, the intellec

March 27th. Saturday. 5.15pm. The Grand Budapest Hotel, Zubrowka. Zero Moustafa gazed at the author and watched him scribble his notes. He’d told him everything, the story of Monsieur Gustave H and how he was falsely accused of murder and imprisoned, how he’d met Agatha, how they’d helped Monsieur Gustave escape, the assistance of the Society of the Crossed Keys, and how Gustave had died defending him, a refugee, from fascist soldiers. He told the author how Gustave had left

Dracula sighed and looked at his daughter Mavis. “What are we going to do? If the Frankensteins or Griffin the invisible man or the werewolves find out that we have a…HUMAN…here, Hotel Transylvania will be finished!” He threw up his hands in despair. Mavis smirked. “Dramatic, Dad! He’s not just any human, he’s called Jonathan and he’s my friend now. We can’t just throw him out. Besides, he’d leave a terrible review on Tripadvisor…” Dracula nodded. “These humans and their hote

Raoul looked Mike Windgren up and down. “Can you swim? The hotel is looking for another lifeguard right now…” Mike laughed. “I just got fired, so I’ll do anything. Swim, wait tables…the only thing I can’t do is what that lifeguard is doing diving from the high rocks. Not after what happened during my time with the circus.” Raoul nodded. “Well, I’m sure there are other ways you can entertain the crowds at the resort. Do you do anything else?” Mike shrugged. “I sing a little,”

Maile looked up at the painted sign over the office and grinned. “It’s our very own tour company, Chad!” she said excitedly. Chad smiled. “The Gates of Hawaii. It’s wonderful! The best part is we already have a dozen bookings, many of them my father’s fruit salesmen contacts.” Maile pushed open the door and walked into the office. “Tourism sure is big business in Hawaii now. It’s helped us start our own business, it helps all the bars and restaurants, and it ensures the hotel

Lucky Jackson looked down at his wet clothes, then at the pool, and sighed. “Well, I’m soaking wet and I’ve lost the money for my race car engine! Goodbye to my chances of winning the Las Vegas Grand Prix.” Rusty Martin brought him a towel. “I’m sorry I pushed you in…” Lucky shrugged. “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,” he said. “Looks like I’ll be staying in Vegas a while longer, until I can get the money to fix my car…” The manager of the hotel walked over. “And the mon

The toys were holding hands. “This is the end of us,” Woody thought. “All the resources that went into making us. All the plastic not being recycled but about to be burned in the incinerator.” Buzz looked at him. “You are my friend to infinity and beyond, Woody,” he said. Woody smiled and gazed at Jessie. “We don’t have long now,” Woody thought. “We’ll be incinerated along with tonnes of waste from companies in the city, lots of it plastic like us that could be recycled and r
