Norway doing well wins me a reasonable amount of money. Was 7/2 the other day but dropped to 33/1 this morning, though now 80/1. UK gone to 50/1 from as long as 300/1.

A hand held mic is 1000% better than a head mounted thing. The only reason to use the latter is if your dance moves are more important than your vocals.
