UK officially out of recession...

[RickWilde]

I'm going with the whole 'student' thing
Recession being over barely affects me, I still eat 9p noodles and live in constant fear of the gas bill

 

[Outlaw Torn]

I will accept that the economy is fine and dandy when the government send me a nice big cheque for lots of money for absolutely no reason whatsoever. If the politicians aren't too busy claiming Gibraltar as their second home that is.

 

[jasoncyrus]

You mind sending that to the hundreds of companies that have no jobs to employ me with?

 

[Gorrister]

Don't fret, I'm sure we'll find something else to ***** about soon enough. Hey, haven't discussed Swine Flu in a while, what's up with that?

 

[Lord George]

Ahh that explains the complete lack of jobs - oh wait.

And even when its actually over its going to be a bit screwy with more and more people going to colleges or uni's cause they couldn't get jobs at the moment and so there'll be lots of qualified people with not enough matching jobs for them to take.

are you implying that positive growth somehow doesn't create jobs overtime? or has the twittering mass of whiny sub-100 iq citizens with high school diplomas as qualification expecting solid jobs in the finance sector blurred your vision?

there is nothing stopping you from getting a job in a rebound economy if you've got a degree. clue up.

You think it'll be enough to create around 25,227 more jobs (and that numbers just for the extra number of students this year, I can bet it'll only climb in the next few years) cause I don't think it will,


At the moment all school leavers are in the shit, if you can afford it you go to uni, if you can't afford that you go to college and for the millions who can't afford that, there left to do nothing but get handouts for the government and sit around (as a number of my friends are left to do). Were not leaving this state for quite a few years and even when we do I imagine it'll still be hard to get jobs that match your training. You can talk about economic theory till your blue in the face but it won't change the fact of reality.

I'm a student... every day is like a recession for me.

Yeah I second that. It's a ***** living off 30 quid per week.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Huh. It certainly ain't over in Ireland.

 

[Nivag the Owl]

This stupid recession phase really angered me. It's basically like, we weren't in a recession. But because everybody was so paranoid that we were, they stopped spending and eventually created one.

Question : If Motorstorm : Pacific Rift retails at £19.99 in GAME and £12 in CEX, how much will it cost in Curry's?

Answer : £39.99.

GITS!

I dub this Curry's Formula.

(GAME - CEX) x 5 = Curry's

 

[Rolling Thunder]

So it seams that the UK is finally out of recession.

Will you begin spending more?

Good for you. Now perhaps if you could be kind enough, you would not mind putting an end to your head stomping so that perhaps we might be able to pull our self's out of our own recession as well?

Not until we get those bloody fishing grounds back.

*Shakes fist*

Australia; never technicaly in a recession

suck it

To quote Rob Manuel on Twitter yesterday:

0.1% rise? I've seen bigger rounding errors - this recession is not over.

...pretty much sums it up really. But then, I agree with what someone said on the first page - I'm a student, every day is like a recession for me.

 

[Rolling Thunder]

Dear God people, times are hard for everyone aside from those that times were never hard for. Stop bitching, and please, get on with your lives. Yes, I am aware you've lost your jobs. Many people are unemployed all the time. Please, cease complaining and begin doing something constructive.

Yes, I was considering the margin of error and the fact the rise was so little. It's possible that it stayed just the same.
