Such a com start, if one of the shrewdies can lend me a plug adapter for my laptop I can get the first pic's and update up

[Rookie (Rodney)]

We start on Wednesday morning. The Leeds lads come down on minibus to Gatwick and are there by the time I arrive at 8am. Trigg and Nicky soon follow and we are all looking [  ] good in our shrewdie shirts and check in.

Through to duty free/waiting area and we go find a bar that will let us have a beer and take them outside as there was no room in it. We are just sat having a drink with about 10 minutes until our gate opens, when the fire alarm goes off! Everything shuts down and we are all told to leave the building! I am in shorts and tee ready for the other end of the flight and we exit the building and have to stand in the pouring rain. 5 minutes later and we are allowed back in again! Sigh.

We go to our gate once we are back in and the place is packed. We were all sitting along row 57 which was good but Benj was a few rows infront and sitting next to Joe Grech. I slept for the first 8 hours of the 11 hour flight which was quite nice, and when I woke up Me, Nicky, Jones and BH started playing some Chinese Poker for $10 a point. Jones ended up schooling us all and I think  BH made about $20.

When we got through USA immigration control (yes, sigh, even Rich got through), we headed out to the taxis and because we would need 3, and the line was so big, we managed to sort out a limo and flipped for the bill on route. It came down to Nicky vs TommyC and Tommy called wrong... wp m8. That cost him $120 straight off the bat and we all enjoyed the trip back for free

We met Tony, the guy who I had sorted the house out through, as we arrived, and he showed us around and sorted paperwork before leaving us to our bed flips. These were pretty mad and downstairs was the master bedroom with a massive ensuite. We hadnt seen the other rooms before deciding to start flipping so off we went.. Minority reflip rules, and soon it was narrowed down to 3 people, Rich, Jones and Middy. Flip 3 coins, odd one out wins the bed... Middy shows a head, Jones shows a head.... Richh screams tails, and flips a head! Much celebration from us and mainly BH occured before the next reflip got underway. Middy shows a head, Jones shows a head... Much more screaming this time, and Rich showssssss...  head! Again he misses his freeroll attempt at the bed and again he gets more rubdowns!

Next flip, Middy shows a tail, Leknave shows a head, so now Rich is drawing dead and his coin only means something for one of the other two! He shows a tail this time and golden bollox Jones wins the master bed and celebrates well.

We move onto further bedrooms and getting their own rooms were Benj & Middy. There are two queen beds in the next room and winning those were Rich and TommyC. In the final bedroom there are four of us left with just two queen beds left to play. I will leave you with the below video of what happens next...
