Left work, got 2 minutes down the road and saw a lady without a back light. So i told her i could barely see her, she pointed at a single LED she had, and explained that she had bought a new light but didnt have a screwdriver or batteries.
I lent her my screwdriver and gave her my batteries! So to the lovely lady in southwark/blackfriars this afternoon you asked if there was anything you could do in return... how about a drink one evening?

Did you not ask her out for a drink there and then?

No, it's Don_don-itis, and it's not even spring!
I disagree, Paddy is a real knight in shining armour for that!
Oh and BTW, there's room for luurve in every season, not just the spring 8)0 -

A stirling effort indeed, but me thinks you should have got her number at the time!

That's ever so kind of you. Restores the faith in humanity, that type of thing.
You could have asked her for a drink at the time, perhaps, but why ruin a selfless act of kindness by doing that?
Hope that you'll see her again - she'll remember you!0 -

You should have asked her out for a drink before actually handing over the batteries... that way you could avoid wasting some decent batteries on her should she be married/frigid/lesbian.0

That's cold.
Can you make that into some kind of equation?

SP, you are of course, a knight of the road, but I'm puzzled - nowhere in your post do you indicate that the D_in_D posts on BR, so why the invite?
On the off-chance that the D_in_D does post / lurk on BR I'd like to point out that, despite temptation, I've not questioned why SP lusts after a 'woman who requires batteries' nor made any tasteless 'pump' jokes.A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject - Churchill0 -
Doing a nice thing for it's own rewards is good.
If something good happens afterwards, that is even better but still the good deed is enough.

i do believe in bike karma, if i was in trouble or needed help i would like to think someone would stop and offer to help me with whatever the problem with my bike was. If i see someone on the side of the road i always stop to help.
It just so happens she was a hot lady this time, i would of said it to anyone and donated my batteries to anyone!
I didnt see her today, although i was looking!BMC TM01 - FCN 0
