Athena tennis girl is reunited with famous poster

It's taken some getting to the bottom of, but the woman who adorned the walls of teenage boys everywhere after posing for a cheeky tennis poster, has finally been revealed. 35-years-ago, at the age of 18, Fiona Walker posed for a photo on a tennis court in Birmingham where she stood with her back to camera and lifted her short tennis dress to reveal her bottom. The image - taken be her boyfriend Martin Elliott - went on to become one of the world's best selling posters and instantly recognisable around the world.

Walker says she never made a penny from the iconic photo (Elliott is said to have received £250,000 in royalty payments) but has no regrets.

Traditional hobbies are replaced by technology

Hobbies such as stamp collecting, train spotting and model making are dying out, a study has revealed. Researchers found the quintessential British pastimes are now considered 'boring' or 'for anoraks'. Other hobbies which modern kids turn their noses up at include collecting marbles, completing jigsaws and constructing train sets.

They found the likes of rambling, bird watching and sticker collecting are all but dead and buried. It emerged just one in twenty youngsters enjoys model aircraft making, compared...

The Silence of the Lambs tops scariest books list

Thomas Harris' The Silence of the Lambs has been voted the nation's scariest book of all time in a poll of 2,000 readers. The chilling tale about cannibalistic serial killer Hannibal Lecter beat classics Dracula and The Shining to the top spot. The novel became an instant bestseller following its publication in 1988, and its film adaptation, starring Anthony Hopkins, is still widely ranked among the best films ever made. In second place is gothic horror story Dracula by Bram Stoker, while The Shining by Stephen King ranks third, followed by American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis in fourth. Researchers said they were looking for horrifying books as opposed to horrifically written books… which is why The Da Vinci Code is nowhere to be seen. TOP 10 SCARIEST BOOKS OF ALL TIME: 1. The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris 2. Dracula by Bram Stoker 3. The Shining by Stephen King 4. American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis 5. The Collector by John Fowles 6.
