Or Unicum.

It's a toss up, although it takes less time to recover from the Unicum.

On my first PE lesson at high school
I hit a girl straight in the forehead with a hockey stick. She said "Oh" and sat down. I wasn't very popular in high school.

I broke my hockey stick in half on some poor lad's shin once.

I played in defense in hockey, with two guys who played golf
I get the ball, pass it to them, they hoon it up the pitch. Or in one case, I pass the ball, it hits a divot and goes careening straight into the guys face.
Noses bleed a LOT.

We were banned after our defensive line perfected the collaborative scoop-and-volley approach.

We were warned off trying to recreate the Guiness advert with the Irish hockey.

I played in goal in hockey (obviously as I almost filled it)
Game one of the season I broke a player from Milfields ankle after he went all spastic and charged me from a short corner. The tangle of legs and sticks snapped him like a twig.

I was playing with some colleagues so it was a bit tame in that respect

What were you doing sucking off a cartoon unicorn in the first place?

Ah, come on.
You telling me you wouldn't give a unicorn a sly nosh?

it's a fairly disturbing Hungarian digestiv. I think it only works because by the time you've stabilised to the level where you are 75% sure you aren't going to vomit yourself inside out, you've forgotten all about any chance of indigestion.

i actually have the box set of that
it was a slightly drunken online purchase

Same here
I watched the first episode, thought "this hasn't aged well", and now it collects dust.

i also have dogtanian
and the pink panther

i am not sure wtf i had been drinking that weekend, it was a real shock when they arrived.

Really?
I'm amazed they bothered to do a DVD release
( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Tue 26 Oct 2010, 14:45, Reply)

oh yes
it was quite a cult thing back in the day though, wasn't it - there's a whole host of fuss about why they never made the last episode.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 26 Oct 2010, 14:49, Reply)

I've just run to the website of golden dreams (AKA: Amazon.co.uk)
£7.99 for the box set. It also recommended Dogtanian.

I think certain things from my childhood should stay in my childhood.

i have watched DD with my nephew
and actually found myself laughing a bit at some of the lines that were clearly slipped in for adults (nothing dodgy, just a bit sarky).

dogtanian i watched with a friend when we were insanely hungover one sunday. i think we got through three episodes, then it was time for "america's next top model".

If I had kids I would buy all the Tom & Jerry and Tex Avery cartoon box sets
then I would have a valid excuse to watch back to back T&J
