Hi Gary,
there is another thing about this box has me baffled namely the 'A rifle only' marking.
A theory put forward that it was ammo intended for rifles only as there was a problem with case separation in the modified Bren gun.
But for some reason this has not 'sat well' with me as surely being marked up as Rifles Only would have indicated rifle only use better.
Why the large letter A and rifle in singular?
Maybe ammo for a test rifle A? would make explain the small amount of ammo for a box this size?
If this is the case it would mean that there must be/was a box marked up 'B rifle only' and possibly C ect.

Sorry I do not know how many rounds the horse shoe charger holds(wish I had one to find out from:tinysmile_cry_t4:)

Initially I was asked just to help out with the SEO (search engine optimisation) aspects of the site to help them raise more business as their previous website wasn't performing well and most of their work came from recommendation and word of mouth.. which is great in one aspect but that only go so far when your competitors are pushing their business presence online. So after analysing their old site I came to the conclusion that the biggest issue holding them back wasn't just appearing on google but the site itself.. so a quick job quickly turned into a couple of weeks late night grinding.

But I'm certainly pleased with the result and confident that it won't be long until they're outranking their competition on google and getting new customers in.

Anyway I wanted to share this project they do a great service, and besides from framing items like paintings, photos etc they also do a lot of 3D framing work.

Not sure how they would go about framing a great big shell, but a nice selection of bullets in a 3D frame would certainly look pretty special!

So if this is of interest to you guys, go have a look at their site and maybe they can do something for you!

I have no idea what i'm ment to write in a blog so i'll just say whats happening in Charlies life at the moment.

For those of you that dont know i sell pharmaceuticals in bulk for my bread and have another finished product company on the side lines. Have just finished formulating and designing a new toothpaste which is totally unflavoured which will be in stock late April. The farm is quiet as i seem to be spending most of my time in the office although i have just had Amy a new lodger move into the flat and she has brought with her 7 horses.... Google Blazing Saddles Stunt Team :) Tank is still broken but hope to have her running for the BOCN meet, Ex SAS range rover project still not started, two miles of fencing to do before the Steam rally in June and a big pile of shit to move. Anyone know where i can find some more houres in the day? lol

Wishing anyone that read this far all the best...

Regards,

C. ]]> Charlie http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/entries/4-First-ever-Blog Motorists/Car App for Android finally out there... http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/entries/3-Motorists-Car-App-for-Android-finally-out-there Tue, 08 Mar 2011 09:19:21 GMT I'm pleased to announce to the world I've finally published my motorists application into the Android market. It's taken about 6 months of work trying to fit in development time around my day job and everything else going on so to finally get it to the stage where I can put it out there is I must admit pleasing.

So if you drive a Car and own an Android handset then look on the market for 'Andrive', at the moment its totally free to download whilst I still work on it and tweak features and add new features but is certainly in a form which will provide useful to any vehicle owner.

For further information and screenshots and instructions(soon) the website is : Motorists/Car App For Android
There is also a facebook page where news and updates will be posted : Andrive on Facebook

Putting on the finishing touches of a new application I'm writing for Android phone users.

Hopefully going to try and get it 'out there' this weekend so if there's anyone out there who drives... that will be quite a few.... and who has an Android phone... (maybe still a few) then this will be of interest

Andrive, is the name of the app'. It aims to be a number of things based around being an aid to motorists when you need it the most. You can record all sorts of useful vehicle related data for an infinite number of vehicles. From basic data, like V5 information to the sort of things you tend to forget, Radio PIN, Tyre makes, Sizes, and pressures etc. You can enter details of your insurer & breakdown company and if in the unfortunate circumstance of a breakdown, it will tell you where you are with an address if it can and allow you to notify emergency contacts of your prediciment and call your breakdown company in just a few clicks.

Accident details can be recorded in great detail and later passed to an insurance company.

Well I better stop talking about it and finish developing it.... ]]> bolo http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/entries/2-Dear-Diary Example Blog Post http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/entries/1-Example-Blog-Post Thu, 03 Feb 2011 11:05:51 GMT Testing the blog Testing the blog ]]> bolo http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/entries/1-Example-Blog-Post
