We should have started running 90 minutes ago but Caroline wanted to change her shoes and download some songs and then sync her ipod and she's going to grigg my morning away!

Will Grigg is the goat. He is the greatest soccer player to ever touch the pitch. He is the best player ever. Sunderland are extremely lucky to have the goat in their squad. His career went on fire when he had a stint in Wigan. That’s why he has a song about him. WILL GRIGG IS THE GOAT. Will Grigg = 🐐

To rip someone off and then add insult to injury by charging them money or following with an egregious insult, a la Cook's Source magazine editor Judith Griggs when she plagiarized an article written by Monica Gaudio. When Gaudio contacted Griggs to straighten things out and ask that Judith make a small contribution to a journalism school to make things right, Griggs told her that her article wasn't very good in the first place and that if anything, Gaudio should be paying HER for the editing work she did on her piece.
