MrPin Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 That's odd, because urine stopped mine working, when I dropped it in a urinal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy_renting Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 This is old hat. I have powered my mobile phone with my own urine for years. I have to aim very carefully to hit the little turbine generator though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPin Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I'm not happy when people use their phones at the urinal when p*ssing. 1. It's unhygienic. 2. These things have cameras. Well I caught my once-upon-a-time boss, having a phone call whilst at the urinal. I sort of lost what respect I had! This was not the behaviour of a gentleman!

This was not the behaviour of a gentleman! Some of us older posters remember when the GPO provided bright red urinals in every high street! Some even had working phones in!
