  Hey Kev...you're back again!
  Happy New Year to you over in Delaware, glad its still all going well.
  Yeah I've heard a lot of dodgy things about Laurencekirk lately too but the high street seems to be looking tidier - dunno what they've done. Although what is the latest craze of chopping off horses tails? All we ever did was have a sneaky smoke up the den!!

  Hi there Seona. I completely agree with what you said in your message. I lived there all my life and I was glad I got out if only for the sake of having a wider outlook and better career options but Laurencekirk is a great place and I try to get home when I can, but it is spoiled by the arses you mentioned. All the best with your new career and new friends!

  Going to have to reply here, Yes you are right , Lauencekirk is not a high flying place but it certainly did me good in the years I was staying there or as close as I could get. People did talk to you and it was nice to walk down the street and a few dozen smiles . so take care you all

  Hi there Helen. Good to see that someone else actually looks at this site. I agree with what you said about how it was nice to walk down the street and get a few smiles but the place is not the same now! It has changed so much and the people even more so! I know its a small place with some small minded people but it was better that way than it is now! Where are you these days?

  Well judging that it's an online forum about LOURNIE it's not all that difficult to see why it's empty. Here's some advice to all you Laurencekirk residents who look at this thing...LEAVE!!!!!! You have no idea what you're missing. God this past year alone I've been to California, Canada, Memphis and Chicago all with a minimum wage pay at the age of 21. And in a few weeks I'm off to Arizona. True
  it's a desert, but it's a wee bit more interesting than Marykirk or Fettercairn wouldn't you say? EMIGRATE! Scotland may be beautiful, but the UK is expensive, and above all boring!
  
  Coming back for a holiday in June too...now I'm sure I'll get the shit kicked outta me for this message. LOL! Never mind, I've got long hair now...nobody'll recognise me, hehehehe!!!

  My god Kevin - you trash the town's reputation, and you might even be scaring potential tourism away from the Metropolis that is Laurencekirk. You even admit that you are risking a big kick-in from the Bus-Shelter Boys when you come over on holiday. And then you say that no-one will recognize you, which I know is true, but why tell everyone that the reason they wont recognize you is cause you have
  long hair now...you have given your secret away, they know where you are, they know what you look like. And as the gangs approach in the speeding (ahem) Fiestas, you had better pray!!
  Ha ha...see you in June Kev!

  Nah, I wasn't trashing nobody...just giving a little advice. Lournie is a nice wee town...but there's really nothing to do. And it's not till you get out and see the rest of the world you realize that there's actually a sun behind the layers of black clouds that cover the place. When I went back for a month in 1997, I expected to feel something since I was so homesick. I walked the length of Laure
  ncekirk and I felt nothing. It was the greatest anitclimax of my life. I miss Scotland like you wouldn't believe...I miss the feeling of hiking through the hills...cycling through the empty roads (you don't get those in the part of the US where I live), and feeling closer to civilization (America is surprisingly cut-off from the rest of the world, despite the fact that it likes to worm it's way into the affiars of other countries). But I don't miss Laurencekirk itself. Sure it was the place of my childhood, full of friendly neigbours, and a more-often-than-not, enjoyable school life, but it was dreary. A mile of grey in a beautiful green valley.
  
  When I come on holiday, I'll go to Lournie for a day or so to visit my uncle and mabe stop in at the old neighbours in Blackiemuir Ave. Perhaps a night or 2 in the Retreat and tour Glen Esk once again so I can show my Girlfriend Loch Lee and the spot where we had our well planned yet badlt executed camping trip (LOL). I dunno...still planning. I still mght not be able to come up North for more than a few days after what I'm going to be doing in London at the start. And I got a couple trips between now and then too I hope I can afford it. One thing I do miss is when we got pissed on the streets of Elgin...that's still the best damn fish supper I ever tasted...you gotta take me there again. See ya later. :D
