Adrian Chiles is lucky that his face is merely \u201cmiserable\u201d (I\u2019ve spent my whole life looking miserable. It\u2019s time for a change, 9 September). On the advice of my estimable wife, when I introduce myself to new colleagues I alert them to the fact that if I look as though I want to kill them, it\u2019s my default expression and I am merely thinking, not judging. Since Oxford University, no less, tells us that it is now vital to know the temperature of hot drinks (Drinking very hot drinks could triple risk of oesophageal cancer, study finds, 9 September), I look forward to the delivery of my NHS coffee thermometer \u2013 and the award of next year\u2019s Ig Nobel prizes. It\u2019s striking that billionaires departing the UK merit a headline (Billionaire Chris Rokos, who paid \u00a3330m in tax last year, to quit UK, 8 September), but the carers and their families, as well as couples who don\u2019t meet the ever stricter financial rules for immigrants, do not. On the nominative determinism debate (Letters, 13 September), I think we should now tie this correspondence up and put it back\u00a0in its box. My wife and I find we are generally far ahead in any nominative determinism game. I am finding these letters very\u00a0informative. Have an opinion on anything you\u2019ve read in the Guardian today?
