Last Saturday night we took out some of our referring dentists to say thank you for supporting the practice as we do regularly but particularly as we have now reached my 10-year anniversary of being in the practice (1^st April).

So, we went for a burger at Annie’s Burger Shack; if you’re ever in Nottingham try and get in there because it’s brilliant, and we hired an exclusive box at the arena to see Michael McIntyre.

As is the mental nature of my life at times, I was double booked!

In January Alison presented me with the hottest ticket in town, two tickets to see Tom Grennan at Rock City which was already sold out.

Always in those circumstances I’m choosing my wife over work, and so I didn’t get to see Michael McIntyre.

I went to the meal at Annie’s and chatted to all the guys, a wonderful night and meal with some people that I have never met before and others that I’ve known for 20 years.

I left them and sent them on their way to the arena at 7:30pm. I walked through Nottingham on a Saturday night to meet my wife at the tram stop before we set off to Rock City.

As luck would have it (or not) as soon as Alison stepped onto the tram beside our house it broke down, by time she had got a bus into town I had been sat in the centre of Nottingham for an hour on a Saturday night watching the world go by.

It’s not a pretty sight.

It is definitely because I am getting old, because as a younger man I pursued what is now the national sport of the UK, which is getting ‘sh*t faced’.

I remember it well as a university student when the purpose of going out on a night out was to get unconscious and ridiculous. It’s moved on from there several times over.

The crazy thing is it doesn’t have to be like that. When you come through the other side you know it’s better not like that.

You’ll read this blog and think it’s tough because that’s the way it is, but it isn’t.

To show you how you go about changing the world when something is wrong, try watching this.

That video (and if you haven’t watched it go back up and click it) gives you a small insight into how it is possible when people get together and decide that they’re going to change the world.

Shall we do that?

Shall we move forward with the attitude that the things that are wrong can be changed and together we can change them?

Or shall we just be broken and accept that everything is sh*t and we’re dead?

I prefer the first way.
