For a four letter word, it's amazing how often 'rape' is misspelled.
We Brits absolutely do not say Thailand like this, nor do we go out for 'Thigh' food, however we do pronounce "Dinesh D'Souza" as "dickhead loser".

Sorry, I’m just completely stuck on the fact Hancock woke his 8 year old kid up to say he was walking out on their family, and did so purely because his affair was about to be made public. What an absolute bastard.
