Guest Gladstone Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 It doesn't sound as good when you say it like that. I see it as free, as I didn't know I was spending £6.64/month. I've just stumbled on a brilliant idea that I will never put into practise, but hope someone else will. Instead of taking out warranties and the like (which I never do anyway), what people should do is find out how much the warranty costs, and how long they can have a warranty for. Then, instead of taking out the warranty, just set up a savings account and direct debit the money from their current account into the savings account.You barely ever need to utilise a warranty, because nothing goes wrong with your item within the warranty period. So, when your laptop/washing machine/fitiver breaks 3 days after the end of the warranty period, you've saved a heap of money which you can use to buy a new one. If it doesn't break, you've just got money in a savings account for fun.Ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 My laptop broke within the warranty period. Would I fuck be able to afford that 800 quid on top of the 500 in finance I owed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Milner Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Sounds like you have something on your computer Soda, id also suggest running Trend Micro housecall http://housecall.trendmicro.com/uk/ that thing is brilliant and should find most virus's. If its not that it could be a hardware issue, i'd suggest giving Graham Knight a PM on here, cant recommend him highly enough for any computer issue!

Guest Gladstone Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 You mean, like, saving money? Genius! Well - it is saving money and it is genius. I'll grant you that.But saving £6.18 a month instead of spending it on a warranty and you can upgrade your laptop (for example) 4-5 years later even if it ain't broke. Or if it does break, you have a decent wad of money to buy a new one. £6.18 a month sounds like fuck all, so you'll not notice it coming out of your bank account.I never take out warranties anyway because I think they're a total rip-off, but if I did, I would stop and start up with this genius idea I've came up with.

I usually take waranties as ~£6 a month makes no difference to my life. It may be ~£300 over three years, but I try not to think about it that way. Anyway, I got a brand new laptop which I sold for £300 and got a better one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Easy Wishes Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Im thinking about buying a coffee machine, any suggestions?I have this one: http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.207-7319.aspxNo complaints. Straightforward to use, the filter/water bit opens on a hinge out the way so you can have it under a cupboard and not have to pull it out to fill it up, and it was only £30.

Gotta keep 'er indoors happy.I got a dolce gusto machine for christmas, makes great coffee! but you gotta buy the correct pods. prices vary in lots of stores and the variety is slim compared to buying on-line direct from them.pods are around £4 for a box of 16 pods, but!! i think you get a little ripped off with the "latte" style drinks, they require 2 pods to make: 1 coffee and 1 milk one, so a box of 16 pods only makes you 8 cups reallygood things, they are fool proof to use, they don't require cleaning as the pods are the nozzles and disposable. it heats water up to boiling point in the time it takes to dispense the drinkI'd get it if you only intend to use it now and again, if you want to make lots and lots of coffee go for the standard peculator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paime Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I've heard they're meant to be descent so might go for that. Luckily cleaning stuff isn't in my job description (I'm more of a piss on the bathroom floor and leave it kinda guy) but I'm sure the bird would appreciate the sentiment, plus it would give her more time to clean the variety of other mess I make. I'm such a thoughtful boyfriend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
