Sorry to hear your news Alan, I'm sure words of support are of no real consolation to you, but I'm sure you know you are among friends on here and we all wish you success in your future job hunting, and more importantly with your future visa application. I know how it feels to have your g/f's tourist visa turned down, my ex's was turned down for similar reasons about 3 months ago.
Stay positive, keep on smiling, it will all work out well for you in the end
