The Belvedere Gallery in Vienna is to be congratulated on its “Selfie Kiss” (Museums gear up for the selfie generation, 3 May). When I visited several years ago, Klimt’s painting was difficult to appreciate among the throng of visitors. Last year, a sign pointed to the Selfie Kiss room, where dozens of visitors took turns to take selfies against a copy, leaving the real thing to be admired by a significantly smaller number.

• People looking for companionship in a new city or town (Tinder for chums, 5 May) would benefit greatly from joining a party or group that campaigns for something close to their heart, or by volunteering for an organisation that does worthwhile work. They will soon find their free-time hours filled with meaningful activity, alongside like-minded new friends. And there is no need to feel embarrassed.

• Stormy Daniels (Interview, 7 May) may be on to something. Al Capone was suspected of organising a number of murders but it was tax evasion that finally did for him. President Trump’s misdemeanours may be legion but if he was ousted on a minor charge that would be part of a great American tradition.

• When texting my mother “How are things?”, predictive text changed my query to “How are thongs?” She responded: “Wonderful.” We’ve never spoken of the incident. We never will.

• I’ve waited ages for an article on double entendres (G2, 8 May) and now you’ve given me one.
