    Another piss poor attempt to play the race card. Clearly the reference to knights, crusades and mosques was a bit of a struggle for your addled, overworked braincell...

    Saturdays are pretty sacred, plus probably not really my scene (too much M$)

Will probably start speaking at them soon. Hacks the wife off a bit, which is a bonus.
    Have you tried SQL Saturdays?

    They are held periodically in various locations across the country so you need to be prepared to travel but it's well worth it.

    From Wikipedia

    Brass rubbing was originally a largely British enthusiasm for reproducing onto paper monumental brasses – commemorative brass plaques found in churches, usually originally on the floor, from between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries. The concept of recording textures of things is more generally called making a rubbing. What distinguishes rubbings from frottage is that rubbings are meant to reproduce the form of something being transferred, whereas frottage is usually only intended to use a general texture.
