Me: "We could go deep see fishing on our trip to the south coast"
Wife: "Where would we fish?"
Me: The English Channel of course"
Wife: "Is it deep enough?"
The 'deep sea' is generally taken to be 1,000m or more. The English Channel is an average of 120m and a maximum of 174m.Wife: "Where would we fish?"
Me: The English Channel of course"
Wife: "Is it deep enough?"
So no, it isn't deep enough.

Seems like a reasonable question to me, seeing as it isn't that deep.Wife: "Where would we fish?"
Me: The English Channel of course"
Wife: "Is it deep enough?"
I expect this comment went over most people's heads.
.In the car yesterday with both my wife and my mother in law. The car in front has a bike carrier with a couple of bikes on a bike rack over the boot, both with the front wheels removed.
Mother in law: "How do you ride those bikes then (pointing at the car ahead) with only one wheel then?"

That's wheelie bad.Mother in law: "How do you ride those bikes then (pointing at the car ahead) with only one wheel then?"
Out for a quiet drive in the country, she inevitably ends up with her nose stuck to her mobile phone.
The conversation went like this:
Her: "I really want to read that book"
Me "what book?"
"The one by Felix"
"Felix who?"
"Felix the cat that lives at a railway station he's got a Facebook page with thousands of followers and now he's written a book and I really want to read it" <takes a breath>
Me: "The cat did not write the book"
<Icy silence descends, she tosses her phone into the glove locker and stares out of the window for the rest of the trip>

was she annoyed because she thought the cat did write the book... or because she wanted to have a chat and you shut it down? The conversation went like this:

Two classics from the weekend:
Saturday the wife asks "what happens if we run out of heating oil?" Reply "the boiler stops working" long pause and a very red face
Sunday my son and his partner were round for lunch and if any of you know Yate in South Glos you'll know the dual carriageway that was built 40 years ago but stops at the railway as there's no bridge its known as The Road To No Where. They were passing the road and he pointed it out and told her "that's the road to no-where". Her reply "where does it go to?"

Both seem to be fair questions. Saturday the wife asks "what happens if we run out of heating oil?" Reply "the boiler stops working" long pause and a very red face

Boiler will probably need bleeding, and the road to nowhere presumably isn't one way?

Need a sanity check here...
We have a shared diary. I booked some football tickets for a date that is empty to go with the FIL.
I put in the date in the diary. Get a message, “have you booked those tickets?”
Yes I reply, turns out she has booked a surprise for my birthday on that date. If I don’t go football I lose the money. If she cancels, nothing is lost. I told her to cancel but now I am in the wrong??

I believe that is standard. You've done something entirely correct by the logic that you have agreed as a couple, but you're still wrong for her not putting something on the calendar that you aren't meant to know aboutWe have a shared diary.
