Bidons

Give it a rest now, the joke's been done to death, I'm starting to suffer from deja vu.

Oh no, not AGAIN.

That reminds me of when one of my teachers flew into a rage and shouted at some boys nattering in class ...

"PAY ATTENTION AT THE BACK! If I have told you once, I have told you a thousand times - I ... WIILL ... NOT ... REPEAT ... MYSELF!"

Agreed, we may be at the end of the cul de sac now..

Wow, 112 posts and only about 3 that were relevant!

I, for one, think the thread still has something of its original joie de vivre though.

I've had enough of this thread, it's making me choke on my Gauloise.

From now on the word "bidon" should be only used in it's split form for eBay purchases....

If water bottles had cow muck covered covers on them surely you'd get cow muck on your fingers when you took the cover off?Maybe using a bit of cling film over the mouthpiece would be better?

Yes!

And once enough covers have covers, the bidon will start to resemble a Russian babushka doll, so we might as well bite the bullet and call it a олово.

In French slang "C'est du Bidon" translates to "that's a load of hot air...or that's crap"!

You're right, it has a certain "je ne sais quoi"

Camelbak sell a mud cover thingy to put of the top of their podium bottle

I use the ”mud cap” on all of my Camelbak Podium bottles.

Great bottles and the cap is great at keeping the crap out of the spout. It just ridicules expensive for a piece of blue rubber you have to buy extra.

Camelback recently changed the design of the Podium bottles and I don’t think the cap fits the new bottles.

The “Rapha Bidon” is the old shape Camelbak podium bottles and the mud cap fits them. So you can get a Chartreuse Bidon……or “yellow mobile hand trough”!

£15 all in but they last for ages and don’t taste of plastic.
