Bio

Joe is a third year zoology student at Southampton, who kids himself that he'll be able to leave Southampton when he graduates and seek alternative arrangements in London, where the pavements are gold and only sometimes chewing gum. He also sometimes refers to himself in the third person. He was the LOpSoc secretary for the 2014/2015 year, and ordinary member for the 2015/2016 year.

He has sung for 7 years in a choir, and for 3 of those was part of an a capella group. He owns 37 tortoises, a ferret, a St. Bernard, a cat, two chickens and three preying mantises called Haley, Ophelia and Beans.


He guesses he'd probably like to end up living in the Lake District or something.


Joe died in March 2014 when he was mercilessly shaved off of the face of Ulf, his host organism.
