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?

I know this is in the wrong section, but I got interupted last week...Dangerous Dogs Act ...appallingly
When I was courting the now good lady wife, I decided it would be a good idea to demonstrate my cooking skills. So in time honoured fashion I rustled up a classic spag bol and entertained the mildly impressed girlfriend in my mother's kitchen. After the last of the Chianti had been drunk we disappeared upstairs for afters so to speak, leaving my mum's Staffordshire bull terrier with the dirty dishes.
The next day, my mum returned home from her morning shift to a scene of horror awaiting her in the kitchen. The dog was cowering in the corner and the walls, the kitchen units, even the artexed ceiling had been sprayed with stinking dog shit. It appeared that the hungry animal had managed to knock the pan of left-over meat sauce off the stove and scoffed the lot. Unfortunately he suffered a bad reaction to my rich Italian cuisine and while I was otherwise engaged upstairs he was unable to contain himself. The poor dog must have done a somersault at some stage during the rapid evacuation of his bowels?
It still gets mentioned on family occasions and my wife still blushes, bless.
