Squirrels are thugs. They harass birds, bunnies, & humans. Almost a decade ago, the squirrels of Texas killed 100-300 million mature oak& elm trees by eating the bark.

Thanks folks. Yes, I bumped into Woody again the other day on the tube when he was here doing his live film experiment. I stopped him and we chatted a while but I'm only 60% sure he remembered who I was. He looked pretty zoned out which didn't surprise me! Always remember the time he almost started a fight in a pub because someone was smoking! Funny days. He made our summer.

I met him in Lakeville CT a few years ago. He has a summer house there. Being a fellow Texan I said howdy and we had a couple of cocktails before he brazenly fired up some smoking materiel, and it wasn't tobacco.A Wild Child for sure.

Re the Woody Harleson story. I remember the charity match and he actually talked about joining a match, your match, in Regent’s Park in his interview before the game.
@Joolzguides6 жыл бұрын
And after striking the winning penalty, not a mention for me who taught him everything he knows! Ha ha! I actually saw him recently and had a beer with him. He was nice and even had watched some of my films. He said I should try being a bit more funny in them! Good advice I guess, coming from him!

When I was a kid they had motorboats and even sailing dinghies. In about three feet of water. In those days our way of chatting up girls was to bump in to their boats trying to start a conversation. Simple pleasures. Nearby the park is the residence of the American ambassador where they filmed 'The Omen'.

The problem with encouraging tourists to feed the park squirrels is the parks then have to cull them, killing them at random in the thousands, which is a far worse situation, some might say cruel (orphaned animals, social hierarchies altered, new territorial fights) than not being fed the poor quality food in the first place. People, in general, have no idea of animal nutrition, they all bring the same food (peanuts) which are too high in various vitamins and minerals and leads to organ failure. All animals need a variety of food. Worse, the tight tourists just come with an empty hand and tease the animals all day to get their free photos. I don't think its a good idea to encourage them. The parks themselves have signs asking you not to.
