In praise of Wikipedia……….

I cannot sing the praises of Wikipedia enough. It so good that you feel it cannot be allowed to continue…………Here it is on the subject of pornstar Jeff Stryker, who my old friend Peter Wadland once met in a bar and was photographed with………(he showed me the photo proudly)…..Stryker became known in the adult film industry for his dark-featured good looks, penchant for extreme dirty talk and aggressively dominating his sexual partners, and his large penis, which is cited as 10″ long……………And here it is on Addington Palace, where I received my first musical education, in the bosom of the Anglican Church………………..Due to financial difficulties James Trecothick had to sell the estate in 1802. The next owners were also in financial trouble and sold it by Act of Parliament 1807. This enabled the mansion to be purchased for the Archbishops of Canterbury, since nearby Croydon Palace had become inconvenient. It was now called ‘Addington Farm’ by the Archbishops. It was the residence for six Archbishops of Canterbury…………Wikipedia is fast approaching the ideal of that fantasy book my friend Hamish dreamed up long ago:- The Book of All Possible Answers………..In that book you will find the true answer to all your questions……….What did Jesus look like? What were the total number of curries eaten by Mother Teresa? What was the Pagan connection to medieval Maypole dancing? On which day did the asteroid hit the earth that killed all the dinosaurs? Did Mr and Mrs Orpheus ever exist? Where is my first school cap? And the jacket that went with it?
