Where is the best place to find the current position and magnitude of
the bright comet mentioned in the newspapers?

Go to:
http://www.heavens-above.com/

Link "sky map" at http://spaceweather.com/ may be better.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/17P/Holmes is also good.

If one wants to *see* the thing, the weather here is not all that co-
operative (there's evidence to suggest that it's generally better a few
kilometres to the South).

Currently Holmes is close to Mirfak; it was just about visible about 3
hours ago here.

From the UK, it's currently close to straight up at midnight.
