What do you think of a hundred and forty million dollars being spent for a single painting?
Oh you mean the Jackson Pollock painting? Um, I don't think it's that much of a waste of money there's only, um, one of those paintings so it's a, it's a piece of history and if you get to own that then that's quite cool, wouldn't – wouldn't you like to have that hanging on your wall?
I would for the – for the worth of it that's true, and it's attractive to look at, but I just feel for instance a Picasso is, you can see the skill in the paint work but I just feel it's a – it's a dribble that a child could produce.
Oh really?
Mmm, oh well.
Yeah. Well, um, compared to say spending money on sending a man to the moon, it's not as worthwhile as – not as worthwhile as that, I think sending a – a man to the moon and spending two point two billion dollars on it would be a …
Yes I can see, I can see that that has got some meaning for man and with the problems we have on this planet such as starvation and shortages of water and mounting debt we have to look at alternative ways of housing all the people, so I can see the justification of that compared to spending so much for a single painting. From that point of view it's worth it.
Oh, OK. Um, well sticking with science, what about the Hadron Collider?
Ah yes, well with that one I think there's, it's looking like the world's biggest waste of money don't you agree, because there's, ah …
Mmm, I do agree there, yeah.
… there's still, there's still big questions and there's been so much go wrong with it and it's such a, four to six billion is such a vast amount and – is it four to six billion?
Ah, four point six billion.
Ah, it's such a – a vast amount of money and no – and what would we do if we did find out how the Earth actually came into being?
Yeah I think there's too much risk that it's, um, not going to work at all.
Mm. What have you, um – have you ever tasted a – an expensive sandwich made with Wagyu … Wagyu beef?
Um, no I think that's crazy, um, I think that five pounds for a sandwich is too much and eighty-five dollars is, um, just ridiculous the …
Yeah.
… the relationship between the taste and the cost can't, ah …
Mm. Did you realise that every day they fly it from Chile to Heathrow at five thirty in the morning, what an expense to the carbon foot print?
Oh yeah that's a waste of money and of, um, and of carbon.
And it's also full of fat apparently it's, er, I can't see how people would want to spend that amount of money and it's just like caviar, it's just a food for the rich and there's so many people going short of food it just seems almost unjustifiable. I don't know how people could pay that amount.
Yeah, I think it's crazy.
Mmm.
