And I won't be there. Now I'm depressed.

No chance of visiting the future in-law's for Easter? Or are you working?

No. Easter has been commandeered by my own parents, with my daughter in collusion.
I considered going for the day and busing it back, like yourself Noby, but it's over two hours to Waterford City and I'm sure my bladder would be most uncooperative.

Well if you do have a change of plan, I'll be on a morning bus to Cork, and probably the last bus back. Although, looking at that list, the last bus is looking dodgy.

Great list. Other years UCC usually had 3 beers on offer so maybe there wiil be another addition from there.

Hey Beernut you are going to have fun re how to do a fair voting system for all beers!!

It's done Ger, through the combined miracles of Excel and Bayesian weighting[/url:tm5f2b1p]. All I need to do is fill in the marks that judges award to the respective beers.

The more beers you vote on, the fairer the result. Or, "the more votes an item has, the closer the corrected rating value would be to the uncorrected rating value", to be a bit more statistically geeky about it.

There will be a [i:tm5f2b1p]peann luaidhe[/i:tm5f2b1p] back-up system as well <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

If anyone wants to look over the spreadsheet and formulae with a view to picking holes in the system, let me know and I'll e-mail it.
