    but why should you even need one?

    Because stuff wears out and breaks. I don't get them on electronic things with few moving parts, like computers, hi-fi's etc, or stuff that's cheap like microwaves. But if you're going to get something expensive that moves, then it is something to look for.

    Again, it's a "get a quote and weigh it up" situation.

    The only hard and fast rule is shop-around. Well - the other hard and fast rule is don't buy the shop's extended warranty... ;)

    Yes, microwaving molotov cocktails don't tend to be covered by much...

    That little sucker wont move now. 2 nails, one big hammer. Always sorts it.

    In your previous life, you weren't a Roman Centurion in Judea round about the time of Jesus were you?

    Actually i could be one of those Roman Centurian guys. 2 nails and a big hammer. They should do the trick if any man p*****s me off like the last one. I will nail his b***S to the nearest lamp post.
