I doubt the fire was big enough to hit the news.  After all, even a very 
small localised fire would fuck the discs.

They have been so slow sending out disks to me that I doubt I would have 
noticed the effects of the hideous fireball.

I received this mail today from Tesco, I guess they are all part of the same 
operation:

I'm writing to you regarding the DVD(s) that you recently returned to us.

You may be aware that we suffered a fire in our DVD rental warehouse 
recently, and that we're currently working to recover full operating 
systems.

I wanted to reassure you that the title(s) you've just enjoyed arrived back 
with us safely, and processes are in place to handle all returned DVDs while 
we work to get your next DVD out to you as soon as possible. You can check 
the details on our website, on the 'My Selection' page.

We expect the current delays to last for another few days. Don't worry; you 
will be compensated for any lost days and details of this will be coming out 
sometime in the week of 5 September.

Thanks for bearing with us; we very much appreciate your support of Tesco 
DVD Rental during this period. For more information please go to 
http://www.tescodvdrental.com/visitor/help.html for queries or to contact 
us.

Best wishes

The Tesco DVD Rental Team.

Yep, got the same email, almost word for word just substitute 
ScreenSelect for Tesco, that was the only difference. Oh, and mine was 
form the president of ScreenSelect, no less, not just the rental team 
;-)
