So, back again with another Yays and Gays! *Yay!*

After the last round of Yays and Gays feedback was mostly positive so until you all bitch and whine so much I can't take it any more you'll all just have to put up with my ramblings *Yippee!*

In personal news today I'm still applying for jobs *Yay!* however with not near half the success I had in Portsmouth. I guess there must be a bigger, better talent pool for the roles I'm looking for in this area. *Gay!* But I've applied for well over fifty jobs now so something has got to come though, right? *Amen!*

In wider news, one of the local pubs in the town has just been bought out. *Yay!* Not by Wetherspoons as we'd hoped, *Queer!* so as to drive down alcohol prices in the town and keep the scum away from all the good bars in the evening. Rather, a Prezzo is moving in, so yet another Mid-range Mocktallian eatery. *Gash!* Don't get me wrong, the food there is lovely and at very fair prices but with a Zizzi practically next door, Pizza Express two doors down and a host of indipendant Mocktallian restaurants in the town, that niech was kind of already catered for. *Poof!*

Nationally, the country is officially out of recession *Hoorah!* with the posting of growth figures for the fourth quarter of 09 showing a weaker-than-expected 0.1% growth. This is, though a small figure not insignificant at all. It is the first recorded growth in the UK economy since the first quarter of 08, the longest period of economic shrinkage since quarterly figures were first recorded in 1955. *Fag!* Unemployment fell also, the first time in 18 months it has declined rather than increased. *Booyah!* It's yet to be seen though whether this can stick with many prominent economist forecasting a 'W' shaped economic pattern. *Flaps!*

So, it's goodbye from me *Yay!* and it's goodbye from him *Awesome!*
Until next time, happy mocktallian economic jobseeking to you all!
