Surely that's a bin job.

I'm imagining you being in multiple situations where your friends have casually said "want to go for a cheeky nandos?" and you're left uncomfortably declining

Straight-up don't believe this. Over 200 billion observations per day? No way!

Source: click


200 billion in a day would not be that hard to achieve really. If every source reports once a minute then you need about 140 million sources, which sounds like a lot but if every terrestrial weather station has precipitation, wind speed, wind direction, sunshine, air pressure, air temperature, visiblity etc and bouys would add things like water temperature, wave height etc then satellites would be reporting on hundreds of things all at once, it adds up pretty quickly. You have to remember as well they wouldnt just use sources from within the UK, they are likely pulling all that data from all over Europe, North Africa and the North Atlantic. Weather patterns are huge so they would pull data from a huge area.

Now that's a comprehensive response! Nice going, Rax :-) . I've also done a bit of digging on the MET website but it's not clear as to how the "200 billion" is sourced. I suspect, as you've indicated, it's multiple hourly (or constant, from some locations) updates and multiple elements being monitored and reported... even so, that seems like a heck of a lot. But I guess it's all true and thus I'm surprised!

The wonders of TCRT; weather calculation statistics and BJs at Nando's being discussed simultaneously :datass:.

That's actually one of the stats the met office tracks

Accuracy of data coming out of the met office is always debatable ;)

We need to be careful here, in a Ghostbusters "don't cross the streams" kind of way. We don't want to create a reality where Zilnad has to go for a Nando's and have 200 billion BJ's simultaneously. :datass:

That’s surely the reality Zilnad wants to live in?

He might want to live in there but do we all want to hear about it? :lol:

I mean it would be fun at first but eventually whilst the spirit would be willing the flesh would be spongy and bruised. :dread:

I thought cheeky Nandos was a sex thing. Have I been wrong all this time?


It’s when you go down town with the lads and you all realize you’re hank marvin’ so you say “lads let’s go Maccers” but your mate Smithy a.k.a. The Bantersaurus Rex has some mula left on his nandos gift card and he’s like “mate let’s a have a cheeky nandos on me” and you go “Smithy my son you’re an absolute ledge” so you go have an extra cheeky nandos with a side order of Top Quality Banter.


Ah, thank you. I always assumed it was a "Netflix & chill" type thing. Go on a date to Nandos and get an after dinner BJ out by the bins. I think it'll always mean that to me now.


Depends how close you are to Smithy, really

True but it would be his reality, we would be safe here.

And we’d have the smug knowledge that, due to miscommunication, he was trapped in the other reality with 200 billion Boris Johnson’s.

Nah, a 200 billion Boris reality would be unsustainable - it's a Highlander style situation: "There can be only one!"

I'd quite happily watch a movie about 200 billion Boris Johnsons (Bori?) beheading each other then screaming at the sky.
