My requests to keep phone on speaker so I can here have been coldly rebuffed. I can however confirm that bribe has been offered and rejected.

    Organism - Shiv Ramdas @nameshiv · 5h Key Update: Cigarettes were in fact a huge strategic blunder because BIL apparently assured sis that he's definitely finally quit smoking on Sunday and in no way shape or form was supposed to have packs of cigs just there in pocket ready to be used as negotiating aid. 32 27 157 8,114

    Product - Shiv Ramdas @nameshiv 4h Manu clearly believes in getting all sides in a conflict before coming to a decision because he is now speaking to lorry driver's assistant. A wise judge. Maybe he'll want to speak to me too. One can but hope. 6 27 42 4,220 Shiv Ramdas @nameshiv · 4h Manu is now speaking to BIL again. So far he has shown no interest in speaking to us.

  • 25
    Organism - Shiv Ramdas @nameshiv · 2h In a tragic twist, Lorry Drivers marriage was not deemed worthy of discussion by anyone. Lorry Driver is now my rooting interest 35 27 34 3,802 Shiv Ramdas @nameshiv · 1h It appears Manu is brokering some sort of compromise. 39 27 32 2,136 Shiv Ramdas @nameshiv · 1h Apparently compromise is that if BIL buys some sacks of rice* and then Manu will make the rest just go away. *Number under negotiation О 34 27 38 2,603

Lorry driver looks unhappy O 69 27 30 2,153 Shiv Ramdas @nameshiv · 1h Lorry driver is no longer speaking up when Manu wants him to chime in. Heel turn. 30 27 21 1,945
