Original Stylus Staff Bio
Nick Southall was born in 1979 and is not yet dead. At some point he managed to acquire a degree in Popular Culture & Philosophy, but is not sure how (neither is the university he attended). He currently spends his days working in the audio/visual department of Exeter University Library; the money is crap but the work is easy and none of the other staff have tried to kill him so far, so he thinks he’s onto a good deal. His spare time is spent glugging red wine, cycling up and down the Devon coast looking for topless sunbathers, occasionally playing football, and trying to uncover the secrets of human happiness. He likes music little and people less. He would like animals if they didn’t make him sneeze and his eyes go runny. Every so often he claims to be Zen, but isn’t entirely sure what this means.
After Stylus
Nick went on to work in marketing at the University of Exeter. [link]
