UK open commentary

I’d rather listen to Vietnamese rabbiting on than Phil Yates (+whoever they decide to chuck in with him at the time), rabbit on about nonsense. Surely there is someone more knowledgeable, and more charismatic?
So I'm not in an exclusive club.

I'm certain he covers some lower-profile snooker tournaments here in the UK too. He's probably a lovely guy but, I'd rather listen to Janice, from Friends, read aloud the Chinese phone book.

Is he Latino or Scandinavian?

that's billy thorpe. iirc he is ohioan. possibly with appalachian migrant roots, but i'm no anthropologist. his english surname is of scandinavian origin though, but that's because vikings ruled large swathes of britain. thorp -> thorpe. torp means hamlet or small farm in swedish, and is among the most common placenamn suffixes in sweden.
