    I thought all Limerick people knew who they were. I went to school with one of them. He now teaches art.

    I heard they were LIT students and that their tears are made of pure mercury.

    "the grand pricks of prank phonecalls"...... how they've evolved :D

    Indeed, they're identity would be relatively well known in limerick for years but that would spoil half the fun!!

    They've been boards members for 5 years :)http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/member.php?u=50082

    I think there was one stage where everyone in school in limerick had a blank CD with the phone call on them. They should release them again off the back of the xmas no1, very funny better than the songs even though the songs are brilliant too.

    They fought for King Limerick in 1916 and were put in storage after we got our potatoes back from the British. Willie O'Dea used some of his moustache hairs to release them from their bronze exteriors in 2005 so they could show him the uh-oh end of a pistol from the non-uh-oh end.

    I would sincerely hope that if someone was stupid enough to post their names up here that the Mods would remove it.

    Part of the laugh of it all is the "who are they factor"

    Frank Shalloo was (or is if he's still about) a decent teacher, always thought he got a bad time of it, he was a nice enough guy.

    Frank Shalloo - I remember one of the lads threw a sandwich in the bin one day and Shalloo took it back out and ate it in front of the class. :D

    The Rubberbandits are Des Harty and Joe Madden...so I hear.

    Word on the street Blindboy is Peter Clohessy and Celia Holman Lee is the skinny one, fair play to her for getting her baps out on a regular basis.
