All of us who travels by plane probably find reasons to complain about airlines, but it is less common for airlines to complain about us. At 2.35 p.m. flight 767 was ready to leave for Ibiza and nearly all the passengers were on board. At 6.10 p.m. the plane was still on runway. Two passengers hadn't boarded. If people check-in but don't board all the luggage must be unloaded. All the passengers had to get off the plane and all of them identified their luggage. At the end there were two pieces of luggage left. Just then, both missing passengers appeared. 'We went to the bar and we had something to drink and a sandwich,' they explained. We had been sitting in the bar for hours! The captain scolded the men severely and the other passengers were very angry with them.
Halloween Хэллоуин
One of the national festivals of English-speaking countries is Halloween. It takes place on October 31 on Allhallow’s Eve.
The pumpkin is a symbol of this festival in which offensive face is cut out. A lighted candle is put into the pumpkin. It was considered that pumpkin left about the house on All Saints' Day drove off malignant demons. The song “Monster Mash” by Bobby Pickett is an informal hymn of this festival.
On this day parties are held and people put on suits of the terrible creatures and monsters from films. Children go from house to house, sing songs and try to get sweeties. Besides that games and fortune-telling are widely spread on Halloween. At night children and teenagers tell each other horror stories and legends and the most popular legend is about Bloody Mary. She is said to appear in a mirror when her name is called three times.
Organization of attractions where visitors are got scared is also an important tradition. On this holiday television broadcasts a lot of horror films and animations. On this day we can show our fantasy and live in the world of dead for a little while.
Halloween has been gaining in popularity in Russia recently.
