Eurovision voting

It seems every year we hear the same gripes about the Eurovision Song Contest. We need to accept that every year this event, as far as the songs are concerned, can be compared to a dog's breakfast. Televoters are expected to compare oranges to apples. Since fruit is usually missing at breakfast, they just reach into the dog's dish and pull out something familiar and vote for a neighbour. Occasionally they get a bit erratic - make that fair - with their vote.

The return of the two local singers managed, to a certain extent, to take our minds off the poor showing of the Maltese entry. Sadly, though, the scene showed lack of knowledge and respect for protocol. If I am not mistaken, when someone in an official position goes to greet a particular person everyone should expect that everyone else arriving with that person is "ignored". The official doesn't have to give any explanations. Everyone else has to respect the official's reason for his presence.

I'm not a fan of the Eurovision Song Contest but the scene at the airport deserves a Lordi, Lordi Hallelujah!
