'The people of Galway take Race Week off - to spend more time in worse traffic'
If you've been trying to contact Galway this week, sorry about that. Galway's off. Maybe you're in the midlands and you've spotted someone wearing an oversized jumper, with bongo drums, and four thin dogs on bailing twine. You may have thought "that person looks lost - I'll give Galway a call, they're probably looking for that person in Eyre Square"... So you phone Galway and no response. Not even a message minder saying "thanks for calling Shop Street, we'll call back if we get some arts grants". And then you realise. Ah... It's the Galway Races. The lost hippy with the bongo drum will have to find their own way back to their spiritual home. For a city that spends most of the time in traffic, the people of Galway all take Race Week off - mostly to spend even more time in worse traffic. Those who have jobs take Race Week off. Those who don't have jobs take Race Week off too. Credit to the good men and women of the Emergency Services who are always working. Them, and people who sell coffee or chips from trailers. So you might see work happening if someone scalds themselves with an americano after bumping into someone with a snackbox. Other than that, forget about it. There's a small minority who wear their special clothes and watch wonderful tiny people do amazing things on horses. Everyone else is having pints or - in these challenging times - slightly less expensive cans. Neachtains pub will be so crowded there might even be people in there who don't qualify for an arts grant. Many people celebrate their time off by avoiding the city and instead visiting the towns and villages they actually live in. Oranmore, for example, will be packed as there will be a huge influx of people from Oranmore. There might be tourists. You'll know them because they'll be dressed for the weather - not for a Netflix drama based in industrial England. You can tell it's Race Week because there's fewer helicopters in the sky. Locals might quip: "It must be the races because it's not like Apocalypse Now". So if you need to contact Galway, wait two weeks. Or maybe give Clare, Sligo or Mayo a shout instead.

OO-La-la! Spooky Jenna Ortega ruffles more than some feathers in a frilly dress in Paris. The US star wore the brown frock for the French premiere of the second series of Netflix hit Wednesday, directed by Advertisement 3 Jenna Ortega at the Paris premiere of the second series of Netflix hit Wednesday Credit: Getty 3 With Tim Burton, who directs the Netflix smash Credit: Shutterstock Editorial The show, based on the daughter from The Addams Family, will return next week after the original run became a ratings hit following its release in 2022. On the reception to the first series, "We didn't know that anyone was going to watch the show. 'You do these things and you don't know what's to come, so it was very overwhelming.' Advertisement READ MORE SHOWBIZ NEWS A former child star, Jenna was catapulted into the A list when Wednesday – viewed 252 million times and counting – launched in 2022. And by her own refreshingly candid admission, that rapid rise to the top was overwhelming. 'To be quite frank, after the show and trying to figure everything out, I was an unhappy person,' she told Harper's Bazaar in May. 'After the pressure, the attention – as somebody who's quite introverted, that was so intense and so scary.' Advertisement Most read in Showbiz Exclusive The eight-month shoot in Romania had been challenging, with Jenna revealing: 'I was alone. Never had any hot water. The boilers in two of my apartments were broken, so I always took cold showers.' At least she'll be getting a warm welcome from Wednesday fans as the show returns to their screens.

Malachy Clerkin: Every pro golfer who appears in Happy Gilmore 2, ranked in order of their acting performance
What you think about the original Happy Gilmore doesn't matter. What matters is that among pro golfers, it's Citizen Kane, Pulp Fiction and Old School all rolled into one. Which means all the best players in the world fell over themselves to be in Happy Gilmore 2 , out this week on Netflix. The results? Nobody will be giving up their day job. Maybe John Daly – but then again, it's never totally clear what John Daly's day job is, so maybe it's this? Anyway, herewith – in reverse order – the official Look Up ranking of the pro golfer cameos in Happy Gilmore 2. Spoiler alert: it's all spoilers. 23 Keegan Bradley READ MORE In the movie but doesn't speak. Maybe his joke got cut out? 22 Jim Furyk Also mute but does get to give the finger to a seagull in a flashback, so that's something. 21 Tony Finau Should have been Bradleyed. Wooden as the fine oak doors in the players' locker room. 20 Nick Faldo Part of the old-guy chorus, strictly there as the set-up man for the others. Credited as Sir Nick Faldo in the cast list, presumably to cushion the blow. Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Brooks Koepka, Lavell Crawford as Slim, Bryson DeChambeau and Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore. Photograph: Scott Yamano/Netflix 19 Corey Pavin Another who got very little to do, other than provide one line of exposition on How Times Have Changed in pro golf. 18 Nancy Lopez On the board of the mental hospital where Shooter McGavin has spent the past 29 years. A small role, but at least she's acting. 17 Collin Morikawa Gets body-slammed by NFL star-turned-waiter Travis Kelce, which is long overdue. In life, whatever about the movie. 16 Rory McIlroy Ach, Rory. The material was there, he just didn't deliver. Part of a superstar quartet but ultimately got outacted by his stunt double with a couple of funny pratfalls. Definitely the biggest disappointment. Best line: 'You guys get those clothes from the Lost & Found at ComicCon?' 15 Bubba Watson Not great either but does make a pleasingly niche joke about a breakaway golf league. Best line: 'What's up with that tool starting that goofy league?' 14 Jack Nicklaus One good joke wherein he asks for a half lemonade, half iced tea and the waiter goes, 'Arnold Palmer?' and Jack goes ... Best line: 'No, Jack Nicklaus. But I do get that a lot.' A scene from Happy Gilmore 2. Photograph: Scott Yamano/Netflix 13 Jordan Spieth Ominously convincing as a gin snob who complains that he got Tanqueray instead of Bombay. Best line: 'No, just the right booze please.' 12 Brooks Koepka At least he's convincing as an aggressive, shit-talking alpha golfer. Best line: 'I say we sweep these goofy bitches.' 11 Rickie Fowler Seems to be on the verge of corpsing most of the time. Plays the straight man for Xander Schauffele, building up to one big pay-off. Best line: 'Now THAT's what she said!' 10 Justin Thomas Sends himself up as an Uber-fan of Happy Gilmore even as he's competing against him. Pulls out his camera and films him hitting his tee shots. Best line: 'I'm actually kind of rooting for you. I gotta stop.' 9 Charley Hull Nobody grabs their moment better, as she bolts from the manager's office in Big Charley's Mini golf in a rage and berates Slim Peterson for walking off the job. Best line: 'You leave now, you ain't ever coming back, you big pork chop.' Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore, Rory McIlroy, Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau and Scottie Scheffler in Happy Gilmore 2. Photograph: Scott Yamano/Netflix 8 Lee Trevino He was in the first movie and has said in the past that he regretted it because there was so much cursing. Seems to have found a way past his objections. Best line (talking about aspirin): 'I grind them into my apple sauce.' 7 Nelly Korda Only in one scene and doesn't have more than a couple of lines. But the world's best woman golfer can really act. Nails it as the heartless, provocateur board member in the mental hospital with Shooter. Best line: 'And if he was wearing a gold jacket…?' 6 Fred Couples Leans into a running gag in which he is constantly on the lookout for desserts, whether his own or somebody else's. Best line: 'Hey Happy, you gonna finish that blueberry jubilee?' 5 Bryson DeChambeau Makes it into the top five for one line and one line only, which is so out there that he might even have improvised it. McIlroy gets his nipples tweaked by one of the opposing team, leading to Bryson jumping in and screaming: Best line: 'Don't twist my boy's titties! Those are my titties!' 4 Xander Schauffele Thoroughly enjoys himself by continually shouting, 'That's what she said!' at exactly the wrong time. Even mouths it silently at one stage. In the wrong hands, it's a tired, nothing joke. Schauffele nails it. Best line: 'I think there's a fork in my ass.' HAPPY GILMORE 2. John Daly as Himself in Happy Gilmore 2. Cr. Scott Yamano/Netflix © 2025. 3 Will Zalatoris It's been an online gag for years that Zalatoris looks like a grown-up version of the caddie Happy beats up in the first movie. But he had no right to be this good in playing the role. Best line: 'Blondie? My name's Will and I'm still mad at you for choking me out, you son of a bitch.' 2 Scottie Scheffler Some people are just good at everything. So good, he even gets the post-credits extra scene. Best line (as cops turn up to arrest him) 'Oh no, not again.' 1 John Daly Magnificent. Lives in Happy's garage, gets taken care of by his family, completely at ease making himself out to be a down-and-out, handwash-drinking, Love Island-watching charity case. Best line: 'It's 75,000 dollars. That's four years. That's 333 grand.'
