A question of morals ...

[TP]

This test only has one question, but it's a very important one.

By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.

You are in New Zealand, on the South Islands West Coast to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a cyclone with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions.

You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless.

You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.

Suddenly you see a man floundering in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer . . . somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It's Clive Woodward. At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to pull him under. You have two options -- you can save the life of Sir Clive or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of the Lion's coach.

So here's the question, and please give an honest answer: (scroll down)









































.... Would you select high contrast colour film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white ?

:saint:Being a long suffering Saints fan,i'd have to say i'd ask him what his intentions to my club were,if the answer was satisfactory i'd make him look good in the photo!:devil:

No! He's the illegitimate son of Callan :lol:

Having no interest whatsoever in watching men play with balls, I wondered about doing a who's who:
David Beckham – An exhaust manufacturer as immortalised in the company promotional video: Bend it like Beckham
Clive Woodward – the illegitimate son of Callan and Britt Ekland spawned whilst filming the Straw Man (acknowledgement to psychlist)
Rio Ferdinand – a south american bovine breed
Thiere Henry – some dude who does adverts
Vinny Jones – a mediocre actor
Will Carling – a serial womanising Paul Burrell lookalike
Johnny Wilkinson – a brand of whiskey?
Sharon Davies – a type of coat hangar

[JPM]

Thiere Henry - I had no idea who he was until the last world cup, I just referred to him as the va va voom bloke, in fact I still do!

[sye73]

TP....I'm surprised!! I thought people on here were the type to respect huge,history making achievements in sport.The part he played in the rugby world cup should not be underestimated,and certainly never forgotten. IMO,there have been fewer sweeter sporting occasions than beating the Aussies in their own back yard....:sing:

[dickieducati]

yeah, i think he's still smarting from it :D

LMAO!!!

Yep you're right. I remember when we beat England to win the world cup and then the French ...

Surely you wouldn't want to get an Aussie talking about history in sport? Being the only nation to win the world cup twice ... and in a row ...

But I digress ...

He's a rugby player? Oh.... had him down as a cricketer:puzzled:

[TP]

He was a rubbish rugby player ... but he was the England coach who took them to the world cup and also the coach that took the Lions to NZ.

:D

Bit like Mike Brierley Tony-he was a not very good test player-but a fantastic captain. Had something to do with a certain I Botham and R Willis duffing up the Auz Cricket team in '81-not once, but twice. Enforced the follow on and lost-TWICE for gods sake-how did you do that?????
I have it all on tape if you want me to lend it to you so's you can be reminded.

Mind you I was right behind Australia when they beat the yanks for the America's Cup-thought they should have taken it home(once they had managed to convince the NYYC that they actually had the RIGHT to take it home) and flattened the dam thing and christened it the Australia Plate.:lol::lol::lol:
Bloody Yanks.

A crap Jamie Whitham Joke.


Why has Edward Woodward got 4 Ds in his name?
























Because if he didnt he would be called EWAR WOOWAR! :D



Dont blame me its one of Whithams!

[pibbow]

I'd use a polariod instant for that gonzo look!

[misterpink]

as a kiwi and south islander at that i would of course reach out the hand of friendship and sportsmanship whilst documenting said act and swearing loudly at him "what the **** are you doing on the west coast without a raincoat"so that headlines could read " clive sirvives kiwi torrent with minor abuse" surely that would be a better pic? trouble is he might grab your hand and pull you in? by the way it rains all the time on the west (wet) coast and has loads of mozzies- anyone think of some other headlines???

[PDL]

:burn::burn::roll::roll:

[andyb]

You see the Kiwis are gracious in sport. They play hard but also accept defeat if that is the case.

The Australians on the other hand are prepared to cheat and if that doesnt work, are nothing but bitching bad losers..................

andyb,you are spot on !!

Clive Woodward is now in a fitting place, if he can turn Scumhampton into a football team he deserves his knighthood. It's Championsip now but it will be 1st div next season. I am a Pompey season ticket holder by the way.

As a little side issue, My other halfs Dad played for Portsmouth in the late 40s.

I have his 1st Division championship winners medal from 1949-1950 season!

Harry cant hold on to any players at the moment, by the end of the season he will be lucky if he can turn out 11 on a Saturday and one of them will be him!:D:D:devil::devil:

Portsmouth are Premiership, Southampton are not thats the facts. Anything Southampton fans say is really just BLAH BLAH BLAH fetch the nappies! :devil::devil::devil:

:lol:

About as good as my qualifying - RUBBISH!!!

We need a touch over 4 runs an over and need to bat out the day to win, we've still got 10 wickets in hand although Clarke is a bit iffy ... A bit difficult to see it happening at the moment seeing as none of the top order has stood up and taken the responsibility to go on with it yet. Warne has top scored in the last two innings! I'd say 70% chance of winning this test to England, 10% to Aus winning and 20% of a draw.

England are bowling very well and Jones will be dangerous tomorrow once the ball starts swinging reverse. Giles is looking in good touch too.

Patience from the top order ...

COME ON AUSSIES!!!!

[Rossco]

Hey TP sorry if that upset you, it looked harsher than the spirit in which it was sent.:roll:

it aint over 'till the fat aussie (no offense intended) sings....if the all blacks can come back from 13-0 to win 13-30 (salt/wound etc etc)...you never know??????? what can happen in a game of cricket.

You're right, what an awesome Captains knock! You could see he was absolutely gutted when Harmison got him. More so that he didn't need to play at it.

Fair play to Clarke, Warne, Lee and McGrath at the end though. They each did their bit to save the game at crucial stages. I didn't give up on an Aus win until Warne was out to be honest, it was definitely still on the cards and you could see Punter was still thinking about it by the running between the wickets with Warne and his strokeplay. And Warne's - he's done very well!

England played very well for 3 out of the 4 days, and their bowling has been excellent all series. It's about time someone from the Aus top order stood up and made some runs, rather fitting that it was the captain. Leading by example.

Still 1-1 after 3 tests of excellent cricket. This series is exceptional. England have really stepped up and played very well and I'm very impressed with the England bowling attack.

If I was an Aussie selector I'd drop Gillespie now, he's been a fantastic player for Australia over a number of years and done the job but we can't afford to keep carrying him in a 4 man bowling attack. Especially with McGrath still recovering from his torn ankle ligaments.

I'd also be casting my eye over the batting to see if I could squeeze Andrew Symonds back in the team. He could have the impact on the series that Pietersen has had with the bat and is also a very useful bowler who can pick up some wickets and take the pressure off the main 4 bowlers.

Fantastic test match played in the right spirit, I'm buzzing now - as you might have noticed :D

I can't believe I have to wait 10 days until the next one starts!!!

[TP]

And Ponting has been named man of the match - great results.

[andyb]

You watching now Tp? ..........Oh dear, Eddie and George, theyve got to go mate!:D:lol:

Still perhaps theyll settle for a draw...... again!

Obviously? To whom ....

Fair enough though, it's good to see England's rise. Their bowling has been simply sensational, very disciplined and always to the plan for each batsman.

Well done.

Can I go and hide now?

Yes you can because its 90 sumat for 5:D
