A few 'Shout Outs', and baths for oldies

Have had an extremely crazy day, filled with moments of hating most of the world followed closely by thinking everything is fantastic. (Are these symptoms of manic-depression?!). Anyhow, would just like to make a few shout-outs to people today. And in no particular order we have...
Sameena. Chica, you rock. Sam is and always will be, no doubt, one of the least successful rowers of all time (sorry girl, but its true), on occasion can be fantastically 'up herself', but as a general rule simply rocks. At uni she worked way too hard - well, she actually did work which from my view is doing a tad too much - and still managed to fit in hours at the gym each day. She is possibly the greatest ego-boost on the planet and this shout out is to say thank you so much for keeping me a version of sane, particularly over the last few weeks. Although I still haven't forgiven you for trying to drag me into Ann Summers...
Niall. Irish accent of course to die for. In addition, total charmer who manages to make me smile however cheesed off with the world I am. Has ability to talk put up with hours of MSN ranting, and Jane in the depths of depression. Can't believe am actually becoming one of those cheesy people who is being converted to the concept that 'friends make the world go round' but Niall is certainly dragging me round to that way of thinking. Cheers, m'dear.
Steph. Final one. As anybody who knows her will say within the first sentence of a description, she is an absolute lunatic. With a scary degree of German-drive and determination, she generally scares the crap out of pretty much anyone and is thus highly suited to her future lawyer-profession. Steph is possibly the ultimate person to complain to about guys, us both being massively unsuccessful in our own special ways. Don't get to see you often enough, girl, but next time we meet up we have a date in a double. (Non rowers, ignore that).

SO. Those three sprung to mind because today they've been responsible in entirely seperate ways for my not throwing myself off a cliff. Not that this would necessarily be a bad thing - yes, I heard that thought filter through your minds...

On a totally different note. 'Bath Knight'. I mean, come on, who came up with the concept that it would be a good idea to put a door in a bath? Everybody knows you run the hot tap first, then the cold to bring to right level - old person using fancy bath may not fall over getting in or out, but will receive first degree burns from sitting in boiling water for ages while bath fills. Does bring beautiful image of slightly doddery oldie filling the bath THEN opening the door to get in... Why, out of interest, can they not cope with showers? Its a mystery.
