    Blokes on Boris's

    We are the Drambillionaires!

    We're hoping to take part in the Drambuie Pursuit 2011 - an all-expenses-paid Highland adventure of a lifetime. In order for us to win a place, we need you to vote for our team via the Drambuie UK website now. We have to get in the top 5 to win a place, and if we become the top voted team, £2,500 will be donated to Providence Row!

    Vote for us here:

    http://www.drambuie.co.uk/teams/2011/387/

    We ain't billionaires but we have some "style",
    For charity, we wanna go the extra mile.

    Drambuie's great, we even have it in our tea,
    But remember ... drink responsibly.

    We're Karl, Andy, Rich and Simon,
    As you can see we're pretty good at rhymin'.

    Wherever in London we four go,
    Boris the mayor is our cycling hero.

    We ride around in our suits and hats,
    Some people say we look like... GENTLEMEN!

    We need to escape the city for the Scottish hills,
    A great adventure race is how we want to get our thrills.

    So help us raise money for Providence Row,
    The Drambuie Pursuit's where we want to go.

    On a serious note:- Last year 3,673 people slept rough in London and the average life expectancy of someone sleeping rough is only 42. These worrying statistics have made us choose to support Providence Row (http://www.providencerow.org.uk/), a local charity helping many people in the tough journey from homelessness back into the community.

    That or could have viewed on the phone.
    tbh, the 'London Banker' description made me assume it'd be pretty dull so I didn't bother with either.

    With the greatest of respect to the OP - you're not missing much, a pretty drab video of 4 guys in shorts riding round London on Boris bikes.
    You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quin.
