Strict ParentsI always thought my parents were quite strict, but I can't think of anything they actually banned me from doing, whereas a good friend was under no circumstances allowed to watch ITV because of the adverts.
This week's Time Out mentions some poor sod who was banned from sitting in the aisle seats at cinemas because, according to their mother, "drug dealers patrol the aisles, injecting people in the arm."
What were you banned from doing as a kid by loopy parents?

ah, nostalgiaheh. Being gifted at an early age with parents who practiced victorian syle discipline, who were racist, and in hindsight, not that clever, the potential for conflict was ever present. Especially when growing up in the seventies, all my mates parents seemed to be ultra-liberal hippies.
Banned?
The Young Ones, (depravity apparently)
Roots, (although my folks were equal opportunity racist scum; unless you were white shite and stupid with it, 'not in this house')
Football, (that was just fucking cruel)
Hanging out with my new asian friend, whose parents had just escaped Idi Amin, and got really lucky with being housed in our lovely little shithole council estate. Incidentally, this was when at age ten i developed a keen sense of hypocrisy and paradox, when, after refusing to join some of the local kids (chavs i believe they would be called these days) in standing outside said asian mates house and shouting racist crap, i was treated to a right kicking. my dear old racist dad upon finding out then went round to lead chav kids house and pummelled his father. ironically, a week wouldnt go by when i didnt get at least a couple of smacks off the old cnut - guess he didn't want anyone else muscling in on the action.
Needless to say i left home minutes after turning 16, and look forward to urinating on their graves on a regular basis.
