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?

"Medicine"A friend of mine stole his dad's car when he was fourteen. He subsequently crashed it into a ditch.
As punishment, his dad beat him with a belt at seven o'clock every night for a year. Whenever the poor lad was out, he had to rush home for his beating.
The most amusing part of this was that both father and son called it "medicine", and so the lad rushing off would glumly say "I've got to go home now for my medicine."
The lad's still messed up now, some twenty odd years later. Amazingly, the dad never missed a single beating!
