I'd like to wish all the team and guests the best of luck ! I have a good feeling that mother nature has been holding all its goodies in the bag until yous get over there!
Some pointers id like to give for any of the newbies going this year...
1. If you want good music to keep you awake on the journeys , get into Paul Sherman's car.
2. When they say you have you to be up and ready to leave for half 8 , you'll most likely see Ian M and Ian C wondering down just after 9.. ish...
3. Whenever John H is about and yous are talking to people from a local town, please remember that there IS an Irish person along with yous.
4. When you see any sort of CG of Anvil lightning you MUST go " WOAHHHHHH! "
5. When out taking photos of a storm , 1 beep from the drivers mean get back to the car straight away. 2 beeps ... well .. yeah, dont let that happen lol
6. If your driving along in Tom Lynch's car , you MUST whistle the theme to any classic 90's tv show.
7. For my and John H 's sake.. its pronounced " TUNDER" OK!?! ... DEAL WITH IT!
8. For every Tour group , there needs to be an official tour group photo , usually undertaking outside a steakhouse after a good day of chasing.
9. If your on Tom Lynch's tour , be prepared to be interviewed by him at some stage , or perhaps by a turkey
10. Subway will most likely be your new best friend whilst over there.
11. Do not let Dave V or Ian C by shots , cause once it starts it probably wont stop ! Lol... even if you don't drink you'll be having one , trust me! ha
12. Just hope you never have to be in a CODE BROWN situation!!
13. Talk to Arron about bets.... he loves a good chat about betting ..
14. If you rather try eat in any way healthy , try stock up for a few day's of snacks from a Wall-mart , unless you like the idea of petrol station grub lol.
15. A tripod and shutter release cable is your best friend when taking shots of a storm .
16. When there's CG's making there way by yous on open ground , best to get in the car , alot of us know too well how close some can hit! lol!
17, ENJOY IT!!!
I'll be thinking of being over there and the excitement of gettin up every morning to knowing what may lay ahead while im doing exams..
