The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
Jeezus...it's been a while since I've posted here, and quite frankly put, it's been no walk in the park recently for me.

Just checking my stats, it has been reveled to me that here on wordpress.com the Grinning Skull Blog has reached the ripe old age of two years. That in itself to me should be a sign of celebration, but presently I don't have the will to woop and cheer at this news. Some of those… Continue reading Birthday’s aint what they used to be….

Well, the UK press are at it again, and I don't just mean talking crap and hacking phones, this time us wargaming bods are under attack.

The story goes that Wayne… Continue reading Media hype wargaming connection with convicted murderer (here we go again…)

Ok, so I thought as many did, that the clown craze was just a fad that had died out, but I was wrong.… Continue reading Clown News: Creepy Staten Island clown, Manchester and Cambridge Clowns also on the loose!!
Following on from this weeks finale in The Walking Dead, what with their suspected terminus cannibal types, I thought I'd take it upon myself to guide you to a few choice real world tales of flesh munchers and cadavers. On the theme of people eaters, that being cannibals to me and you, firstly I want… Continue reading Cannibals and Corpses (No, it’s not a Roleplaying game, or a band. It’s real!)
I just wanted to give you a little update, recently I haven't had enough free time to be updating and posting here at the grinning skull, due to my commitments, bad internet connection, a turbulent personal life and other contributing factors it's been a bit of a struggle to keep up with the web side… Continue reading A quick update to let you know I’m not dead….
No matter what lately, I haven't been able to focus on all aspects of the hobby (I mean miniature wargaming, not the "GW" hobby!) I think that it's been due to recent illness with my knee trouble, general awfulness and now some weird throat type virus that has fallen upon my kids and myself, but… Continue reading What do you do when you’ve lost your hobby mojo?
