If it's not blocking the toilet, it will eventually break up and flush away of its own accord.
A dollop of bleach down and left overnight will help.
While that's working, spray copiously with some air freshener and then shut the lid on it.

tiggs, your first line reads they were friends, when you found your loo upstairs full, you said "it'll teach you not to invite people around', it wasn't people, it was friends and one friend had a bad tummy, probably moritified so went upstairs rather than the 'guest' toilet downstairs - just let it dissolve in it's own way, ya never know, one day it could be you, and your friend posting here or on twitter, we have no control over the bowels - don't judge that person, getting short taken is so mortifying
I suspect it's not a single huge object, and certainly not a few gallons of diarrhoea which is causing the problem. As Tuvok said, it's possibly something further down the line. Is your downstairs loo flushing well? Are the two loos (Lautrec!) connected to the outside drain via the same pipe? If it doesn't disappear of its own accord and you can't work it out scientificaly, using pencil and paper, then best get a drain poker in to sort it out.
lankeela, reminds me of a tale by Alex Atterson about (famously tight-fisted) Hamish Imlach, who used the loo in a friend's house and then called through the door for some paper. The reply was, "Ach, leave it in there, you tight ***!"
