Strict Parents
I 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?

the hair thing again
someone's post reminded me.
when i was a little commie (about 8) i had an unkempt mop of dark hair. i loved my hair. i remember my mum deciding i looked like "the son of a beggar" (her words!) and taking me to get it cut. probobly would'nt have been so bad apart from all that sunday school nonsense (her idea again) about samson and his hair.
cue me repeatedly trying to escape the barbers screaming and crying, and when the evil deed was finished, not talking to anyone for a few sullen days.
incidentally, i have had a number 1/2 haircut for the last 6 years now....
