yeah, they turned up, was a little worried as the company who made them does sound a bit like dildo and that was plastered on the outside of the boxes. not sure what the mailroom made of my shipment of six boxes of didos.
the printing and colour is fantastic. the bottles don't actually hold 750ml of water though which is annoying, just over 700ml. i guess they must call them 750 as that's the size of the bottle. anyway, they look good, i'll post up some photos and get the logistics sorted this weekend.
or my measuring jug might be out! anyway, that's a bit anal and what's a few mililitres eh. thought i should mention it in case someone has a precise watering strategy!

Unfortunately, my OCD would have meant that I would have measured the capacity to check
I'm going to road test my new bento box on the pirate ride tomorrow. It's already packed with snacks and loaded onto the bike in the car. Will test it in first 15 mins of the ride! No more fiddling around behind me to get mars bars out of the pockets on the back of my jacket. It's got a nice little rain cover, too which got tested out today...
Sorry, I'm rambling now.
Looking forward to pirate dildos.
Oh God. Did I say that? I meant 'looking forward to pirate water bottles'.
I have just ordered a bento box as I need somewhere to put my inhaler in case I need it when on the bike. As I have yet to master the art of removing my bottle from it's cage, drinking, and replacing it, there is no way I can raech behind my back for an inhaler. I would end up in a ditch!
Bottles up for sale now. Like i said they're a little under 750ml. Quality is excellent. I'm going to leave teh site up a bit so an intrepid few (hopefully!) can be guinea pigs.
would like to say just cos you put your name on the list don't feel duty bound to buy the bottles if you had them, think they're too expensive or you've just decided you don't want any more pirate kit!
750ml bottles (ok, they hold a little less than 750mls if that's really important, about 720ml) made by the same people who do the SIS bottles. If you buy two bottles they're cheaper than the cheapest bottle from wiggle at £3.49 per bottle, or four at £2.99 per bottle or even eight at £2.49 per bottle. That's the price delivered to you. I went with pricing for 2, 4 & 8 as that's what most people signed up for. If you want to order more than eight bottles please just email me and we can sort something out thepirateshipoffools@googlemail.com
* 2 BOTTLES @ £6.99 .... £3.49ish per bottle. * 4 BOTTLES @ £11.99 .... £3ish per bottle. * 8 BOTTLES @ £19.99.... £2.50ish per bottle.
thanks guinea pigs taken the "shop" offline now for a couple of days.
as suspected i'll need to add a little bit on for paypal which i'd forgotten about. also it seems the paypal postage options are a little limited so i'll work out what to do about that.
anyway, seven orders received so i'll get those sent out in the next couple of days.

Cheers JD, had a few quid left in my Paypal so thought I'd be a guinea pig.
Seemed to work OK, I should have ordered a couple of bottles, let me know if it didn't work!

These prices seem very cheap JD, did you get a HUGE discount with your order. I thought we were looking at £5 a bottle originally inc P&P and Paypal.
Not complaining mind you, but hope you have your maths right, would not want you to be out of pocket at all over this
