A question of morals ...
 
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:

Who's Clive Woodward?
Didn't he invent the C5?

rcgbob44 12-Aug-2005 09:26

Is he some sort of sportsman, I`ve never heard of him either?

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

Redruth 12-Aug-2005 10:21

Tony, you're bad. Worryingly so.:frog::frog:

JPM 12-Aug-2005 10:34

As he doesn't ride a bike I couldn't care less, black and white would be more stunning IMO

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 12-Aug-2005 10:47

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 12-Aug-2005 14:33

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 12-Aug-2005 14:36

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 12-Aug-2005 15:10

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

Monty 12-Aug-2005 15:18

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.

I'll exchange you my tapes of every ashes series since 86 for your two games thanks Monty :D

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 12-Aug-2005 17:30

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

misterpink 12-Aug-2005 19:02

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 12-Aug-2005 22:18

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

andyb 12-Aug-2005 22:19

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..................

sye73 13-Aug-2005 01:16

andyb,you are spot on !!

TP...I've just noticed your 'location' !!! How appropriate ;)

Rossco 13-Aug-2005 08:10

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!

Rossco 13-Aug-2005 13:37

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:

Rossco 13-Aug-2005 13:48

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:

Rossco 13-Aug-2005 14:11

Andyb I dont suppose you would consider selling that medal would you?;)

swannymere 13-Aug-2005 23:54

:D See OBSESSED:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::l ol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

fatduke11111 14-Aug-2005 01:46

..come on you Spurs...:sing::sing::sing: 3-points, and above Chelsea and the gooners in the table what a result:lol::lol:

Rossco 14-Aug-2005 09:53

I must admit we were fairly dismal, but first game, new team ( only 2 of last seasons team in starting 11) etc. Tottenham had a good 2nd half and got the points. :yawn:

Rossco 14-Aug-2005 12:35

Right on Andyb, some of todays players have popstar status with the ego and ****ish behaviour to match.
