I just love the graphics on the side of it.

Must be low on fuel. Those five passengers all seem to be straining. :-)

Actually there was a story yesterday about scheiss-powered mobile phones. Do they have tiny retorts that need to be fed with the stuff? I do hope so.

Not necessary for feeding crap into a phone; most people manage with a microphone and touchscreen.

Different sorts of crap comrade. I like the idea of a tiny Victorian-technology industrial complex in one's mobile phone, perhaps even with a minute chimney. You'd have to process your excrement first of course, into mousescheiss-sized fuel pellets.

I love the logo on the side of the bus.

I am deeply offended and demand an apology from the bus company and compensation.

Even by the older lady knitting on the bog, with her white knickers round her ankles? I think it's charming.

Especially the old lady. Shocked I am shocked. Would settle for £100,000

Do you reckon they've removed the seats and benches for stools?

Lots of productive activity in more than one sense.

I had a rough curry last night.

I feel like I could power a whole fleet of buses today.

Try to hold it until you can get to Bristol.

The UK's first bus powered by human waste has been involved in a 'near miss' in Bristol earlier today.

Accident investigators are examining a huge skid mark left on a bend.
