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?

Not strictOr at least it would seem judging by most your stories. I was allowed GTA when i was about 12 even though the man in the shop told my mum it wasn't a 'racing game' like she thought (plus my dad had already got me a cracked copy off a collegue and watched me play it, he formatted and lost the disk though). I could watch practically anything on tv as long as they couldn't hear it late at night (had a telly in my room). Even that didn't really matter because i was intelligent enough to work the timer on the vcr.
Only thing that my parents made me do was things I tried and decided were shit, apparently as a kid its important to do things you don't want to, even though once you grow up you will spend the next 45 bastard years doing just that.
I can't wait until i retire and can do exactly what i want. Actually it will be a bit like i am right now, except i won't have tutorials that clash with diagnosis murder.
