    I can't wait for the first shit powered motorcycle

    The UK's first bus powered entirely by human and food waste has gone into service between Bristol and Bath.

    The 40-seat "Bio-Bus" runs on biomethane gas generated through the treatment of sewage and food waste.

    The eco-friendly vehicle can travel up to 300km (186 miles) on one tank of gas, which takes the annual waste of about five people to produce.

    It is run by tour operator Bath Bus Company and will shuttle people between Bristol Airport and Bath city centre.

    The biomethane gas is generated at Bristol sewage treatment works in Avonmouth, which is run by GENeco, a subsidiary of Wessex Water.

    For those of us who are full of it, it will be a revelation in cheap transport.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    If you get low on fuel, park up outside the closest 'fixed charge, eat all you like restaurant' (it's Valentines around this way) and if you can stand the smell, offer the troughed up porkers a free taxi service home

    I note that the route the bus is running, is the #2.





    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.

    The fuel tank ruptured. The driver couldn't clean it properly but he went through the motions.
