Gnome-Napping To kidnap (borrow) someone's Garden Gnome. We'll free the little blighter from his monotonous daily routine of guarding pond fish and will make sure he sends regular postcards back to his 'family" reassuring them that he's safe and well, missing them, but above all having the time of his life!

Day of the Dice Men

For one day we'll hand our fates over to the roll of the dice. Rolling 2 dice at least once an hour and acting accordingly as per the rules below. Only stopping when every option has been completed at least once.

DICE RULES

2: Have a wrestling match, winner determined by tap-out.Loser is the winners bitch, and must behave like a dog (barking, humping legs etc) for the next 10 mins. Winner leads loser around on a leash.

3:Hail a cab, when asked where you want to go say "Follow that car" pointing to a car of your choice. Follow the car for 10 mins, and then hop out (paying first of course), wherever you are.

4:Hit the nearest clothes shop, choose one item of clothing (male or female) for each other. Buy it and wear it for the rest of the day.

5.One brother performs a song of their choice with appropriate dance moves. The other brother "hats" for coins from passers-by.

6:Both brothers can only move up or down the street by alternately leapfrogging one another - 10 leapfrogs each.

7: Hit the nearest bar, drink a beer at speed. Loser pays.

8: Do some free-running on the nearest available surface, shouting in French.

9: Enter the nearest bar/restaurant, arms around one another and head for the bathrooms without ordering anything.

10: Jump on the nearest public transport and play a game of hide and seek.One brother counts to 50 out loud, the other hides amongst the passengers. When found, the finder shouts: "Found you!". Roles reverse and start again. Continue for 10 minutes then off you get.

11: Pimpin' and Ho'in: One brother is the pimp, the other the ho'. Spend 10 minutes soliciting passersby, 1970s stylee.

12: Walk into the middle of the nearest street, stopping traffic and pretend to be long lost friends who have randomly bumped into one another abroad. Remain in the middle of the road chatting about old times and ignoring the traffic building up either side of you and the drivers. Keep going for as long as you can.

Hurricane Hugging

Putting ourselves in the middle of a real storm (the bigger the better), we'll show what it's like to live through Mother Nature's unpredictable temper! Most likely, the audio on this video will only be heard by dogs. Not because of the wind or frightening forces of nature on the camera mics – but more so because we'll be screaming at a higher octave than an 11 year old girl at a Take That concert!

Asia - Xui Ming - Stephen Hutchison - TBD
