Happy Gilmore 2 cast: every Netflix cameo from worst to best

Happy Gilmore 2 might just break a world record for most cameos in a film. The long-awaited sequel arrives after nearly 30 years and it is packed to the brim with celebrity appearances. From podcasters to musicians and of course golf stars, there are so many you probably struggled to keep track. Remind yourself of who is in the cast of the Netflix movie. Adam Sandler is back as the titular character, but this time he has assembled an incredible list of stars to join him. The movie landed on streaming on Friday (July 25) - just in time for the weekend. Having dived in to watch it myself - counting the original as among my childhood favourites - I have decided to rank all of the celebrity appearances in the movie. The list goes from worst to best, based on my own enjoyment, and includes a very surprising number one! Have you watched Happy Gilmore 2 yet?

16 great photos of this year's Royal Highland Show held in Edinburgh this weekend

Held annually in June at the Royal Highland Centre in Ingliston, the event attracts over 1,000 exhibitors, 4,500 head of livestock, and up to 190,000 visitors. From BMX stunt shows and axe throwing to tree climbing and forestry demos, the Royal Highland Show is full of energy and excitement. This weekend, large crowds descended on the Royal Highland Showground at Ingliston, Edinburgh to watch elite sheep shearers compete head-to-head and blacksmiths battle it out for top honours. Over 4,500 livestock and horses made the Royal Highland Show their home for four days as they competed for an array of coveted titles. Alongside traditional livestock animals such as sheep and cows, there were also donkeys, goats and alpacas in attendance at this annual agricultural festival. Among the highlights this weekend were the Grand Parade of champions on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, a truly iconic spectacle in the main ring at the Royal Highland Showground in the shadows of Edinburgh Airport. 1 .

The 17 UK universities ranked best for student satisfaction

As any student will know, there's a lot more to what makes a university a great place to learn than its exclusivity or the research it pumps out. The end of the summer exam season is now just days away, and many A Level candidates have already begun the lengthy wait to find out how they did - with results day falling on August 14 this year. Many will have university offers hanging in the balance, and once their place has been confirmed, they can finally set out on an exciting new time in their lives - university, and all that comes with it. As well as wanting an amazing student experience, they'll no doubt be hoping to achieve good grades with expert teaching and guidance, leaving with a degree that will open the door to exciting careers or further study opportunities in the future. Most of them will also probably be taking out hefty student loans, and will no doubt want good bang for their buck. The Complete University Guide has this month released its brand new UK university league table for 2026, to help keep this coming year's university hopefuls in the loop. This comprehensive annual ranking compares dozens of institutions based on their entry standards, the proportion of students who stay on after their first year, research quality, how much they spend on academic services and facilities, student-to-staff ratio, and more. One of the factors it considers is how satisfied each institution's students are with their education. They've each been given a score out of four based on responses to The National Student Survey (NSS), a poll of final-year undergraduates. We've used this data to compile a league table of all the UK universities that scored around 80% or more when it comes to student satisfaction - so that prospective students can get an idea of how happy with their education current students are. Many are schools which didn't make it to the upper echelons of the Complete University Guide's overall performance table, but which each shine in their own unique way. Here were the 17 universities that came out on top: 1 . University of St Andrews The fourth most highly ranked university overall - and the top Scottish institution on the list - this prestigious university is based in St Andrews, Fife. In the Complete University Guide's new list for 2026, it had a student satisfaction score of 3.32 out of 4 - or about 83%. | Peter Thompson/Photo Sales 2 . Bishop Grosseteste University Moving to the East Midlands of England, Bishop Grosseteste is a university based in Lincoln. It came in 118th place overall on the new league table. It had a student satisfaction score of 3.31 out of 4 - or about 83%. |Photo Sales 3 . Wrexham University Wrexham University is based in northeast Wales, and came 129th overall in the Complete University Guide's latest league table. It had a student satisfaction score of 3.30 out of 4 - or about 83%. | Google Photo Sales 4 . Plymouth Marjon University Marjon is a university in Plymouth, Devon - in the South West. It ranked 100th overall. It too had a student satisfaction score of 3.30 out of 4 - or about 83%. | Google Photo Sales Related topics: UniversitiesStudentsBoost

You are a true gamer if you can remember these 1980s video game classics

The 1980s proved to be a truly iconic period in history when it came to video games. It was the decade that saw the debut of Mario, Donkey Kong and Street Fighter. It was a time when Pac-Man dominated the arcades and Out-Run devoured all of your coins. However, while everyone can name that famous Italian plumber who shouts 'yahoo' - only a true gamer will be able to recall the classics from the decade. To see if you pass the test and can claim your gaming credit, we've put together a trip down memory lane through the 1980s. See if you can remember all of the games featured in our gallery. Have you got a story you want to share with our readers? You can now send it to us online via YourWorld at . It's free to use and, once checked, your story will appear on our website and, space allowing, in our newspapers. 1 . Pac-Man - 1980 Kicking off the decade in style, Pac-Man (and all of its subsequent editions like Ms Pac-Man) arrived in 1980 and has gone on to become one of the most iconic games ever. It started in arcades but later jumped to consoles of all varieties. It was so popular that the song 'Pac-Man Fever' charted in the US in 1982. Photo:|Photo:Photo Sales 2 . Donkey Kong - 1981 How simple a concept, a giant ape throwing barrels at a plumber trying to prevent him rescuing his girlfriend Pauline (in the days before Mario chased after Princess Peach). But the rest, is as they say, history. It was the start of multiple of Nintendo's most recognisable characters. Photo: Andrew H. Walker/Getty Images | Andrew H. Walker/Getty Images Photo: Andrew H. Walker/Getty Images Photo Sales 3 . Frogger - 1981 Get a frog across the road, what is the worst that could happen? Such was the simple hook of one of the biggest arcade games of the 1980s - and the start of a franchise that has endured in different forms over the decades. Photo:|Photo:Photo Sales 4 . Tetris - 1984 One of the most iconic video games of all time. It must have been truly mind blowing to play this when it arrived in the west from Russia in the 1980s - but you have no doubt played it on some device or another over the years.
