Rammy Virgins Get Stuck In

Having attended my first Ramsbottom online Bloggers meeting in the welcoming surroundings of the First Chop, suitably warmed up and my inhibitions quelled by a delicious drop of Mulled wine, I was delighted to learn that my fellow bloggers were also new to Rammy.

RamsbottonOnline.com’s Not So Famous Quiz Night – This Wednesday

What was the name of the dog that found the stolen Jules Rimet World Cup trophy in 1966? Think you know the answer to this piece of trivia or does it leave you in a bit of a pickle? If you think you've got the knowledge to answer this brain teaser of a question then you and a gaggle of your pals could take part in what could easily be described as Ramsbottom's answer to Mastermind meets the Krypton Factor, (minus the physical activity part, unless raising an ice cold Warsteiner to your lips is classed as physical activity) in 'RamsbottonOnline.com's Not So Famous Pub Quiz™'.

The First Chop New Menu

The other night I shared a nice of bottle of my favourite tipple, Jever, with the First Chop head honcho and he gave me a sneak preview of his new menu. In a sentence I would say 'it'll give you a nice warm winter hug just when you need it'
