Earlier today I tweeted from my local Morrisons on the way people do not wash their hands after using the toilets and then going straight off to do their shopping, so I’m thought I would post about it.

So, there I was washing my hands with the fully automated, touch nothing, washers after using the toilets in Morrisons in Rhyl and whilst I was doing these three woman came in, used the loo and then when straight out without washing their hands. So their personal hygiene practices  suck big time!

So if you get an email in your inbox from me with information and access to been a guest blogger then you can either take up the option or not.

So keep your eyes peeled people

Ever popular than ever I’m proud to bring you another band interview in my series of “Who’s the Band” and this week I bring you an interview with Jay aka Electromagnetic Impulses, so I’m going to stop rambling on and get on with the interview..

Q: Hi Jay, so how did you come upon the name of your band? Is it the first name you chose?
A: I decided on the name ‘Electromagnetic Impulses’ (hereafter referred to as E.I), for several reasons.  The word Electromagnetic, sounds catchy, it also hints at the style of music I write (Electronic), and Impulses came about from my impulsive nature.  Put the two together and you have a unique if somewhat long winded artist name.  The phrase ‘Electromagnetic’ can be linked to many Scientific subjects from Sound Waves, Time, Lightening, Energy, Space, Gravity, Weapons, and even UFO’s in fact the phrase ‘Electromagnetic Pulse’ is a phrase thrown around on many TV series such as ‘lost’ ‘Star Trek’ and many many documentaries on a range of subjects.

I had originally decided to call myself ‘Somotitee’ this harks back to my Pagan connections, the phrase ‘So Mote It Be’ , but decided to stick with E.I

Here’s a definition of the Phrase ‘Electromagnetic Pulse’

Main Entry: electromagnetic pulse
