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?

Raising nerdsMy mum, bless her, was tasked with the job of raising three boys by herself. All three boys have turned out to be nerds (well, the youngest has reformed into a musician/surfer/root rat, but we know his past...), so in a vain attempt to ensure homework got done/fights kept to a minimum/social life encouraged/argument du jour, all computer games were banned at all times during the week.
I've just spent the entire long weekend playing Command & Conquer. Sorry mum, still a nerd.
