But with the Gerry Ryan show firmly behind him there are soon more than enough drivers willing to take him along and indeed, Irish media seems to have been so dry for news that TV crews, radio and print journalists fall over themselves to give the fridge its 7 minutes of fame. Tony Hawks is a bit of a wimp at first when it comes to hitchhiking and hasn’t quite got the idea that a good deal of waiting is involved. Drivers who give the couple lifts scrawl all over it in felt tip pen, the fridge gets christened to ensure its place in heaven and it even gets taken surfing by a local who particularly gets into the spirit of things. Luckily for Tony Hawks, he’d undertaken his voyage in a country which understands and empathises with the average idiotic quest and, with the help of national radio, he becomes something of a celebrity wherever he goes, receiving offers of hospitality, parties are thrown for him and he get outrageously drunk at every turn.Īnd that’s nothing to the response that the Irish give the fridge. Show More resolves to hitchhike around the circumference of Ireland with a fridge.
