Whilst in Ireland for an International Song Competition, Tony Hawks was amazed to see a hitch-hiker trying to thumb a lift, but with a fridge.

This seemed amazingly optimistic - his Irish friends, however, thought nothing of it at all. 'I had clearly arrived in a country', writes Tony, 'where the qualification for 'eccentric' involved a great deal more than that to which I had become used'.

Years pass. . . but the fridge incident haunts our author. Until one night, heavy with drink, he finds himself arguing about Ireland with a friend. It is, he insists, 'a magical place', so magical in fact, that a man could even get a lift with a fridge.

The next morning there is a note by his bed. 'I hereby bet Tony Hawks the sum of One Hundred Pounds that he cannot hitch around the circumference of Ireland with a fridge within one calendar month. ' The document was signed. The bet was made. This book is the story of Tony's adventures through that incredible month.

The people he meets, the difficulties, the triumphs, The Fridge.

Industry Reviews

"Not just brilliantly written, but far too hilarious to read alone in a public place" * Sunday Independent, Ireland * "Hawks's account shows the Irish at their whimsical best" * Daily Telegraph * "Very light-hearted, he captures the generosity, warmth and humour of Ireland" * Red * "Part autobiography, part travelogue, part insane Guinness-addled ramblings" * Irish Times * "Absolutely brilliant from start to finish - Tony Hawks is just as funny at the written word as he is on the box" * Doncaster Courier *
