The Yellowbellies:

The yellowbellies are a group of railway workers who work on the line which goes through Phibsborough. There are around 10 of them and their job is to go around checking the track. If they see anyone on the track they beat the **** out of them and steal their stuff. They go around on a train thing and i know people who have been chased and beaten up by them. Does anyone else know of them?

What? Em...ok, somebody's tellin tales!!!

They are employed to do this?

I rate this highly probable.

Not really...are you sure your mates weren't just chased by a bunch of scumbags who robbed one of those rail push cart things?

The wages in CIE must be crap if they have to resort to that

i'm familiar with those guys. don't know about the stealing peoples stuff part, but they used to beat the crap out of kids on the line when i was younger.
they have a small yellow cab that they go around in.

andrew · 13-03-2006 9:33pm

they're not officially employed to beat up people, its just what they do. Julep knows the score

You mean an inspection car. Its a small diesel engine thing that is used to inspect the tracks. I doubt they are filled with hired goons and Phil mitchell wannabes.

i doubt that myself. some of my friends did get a bit of a kicking off them when they were younger though. they probably just did it to scare my friends away from the tracks.

andrew · 14-03-2006 7:24pm

They're NOT hired to beat up people. They just do. From what i've heard, people get more then just a bit of a kicking though
