Laura Tennant tackles life head-on in THE BIG ISSUE, the unique column featured in our She’s Gotta Have It page

Running? Cool. Other runners? Less so 
Call me old-fashioned, but manners matter 
I'm too busy to use the phone 
Older, wiser and having more fun 
No unisex please, we're British 
Get used to luxuries and they become necessities 
Join the Slow Shopping Movement 
Binge drinking? Put it down to our awful weather 
Our dysfunctional relationship with food 
Growing old funkily 
Football is like dating 11 bastards all at once 
The hideous fate of early-onset maturity 
When did offices become no-talk zones? 
Looking for a career move? Try breast implants 

The scars left by psychological abuse 
It's time to face facts about abortion 
Moderate drug use is no worse than booze 
Suspicion has become our default setting 
Baby-stealing bureaucrats 
'Being' really is more important than 'having' 
We have a right to pain-free birth

Why we now value experiences more than possessions 
Why the bitch in the room will always get ahead 

The perils of dressing for oneself 
The fake boob in fashion 
Bonkers beauty? Sign me up  |
