Talking Epic fail!

Okay, here it is. I didn't receive my council tax bill via email; last year it came on the 7th. Being a good little boy (shut up at the back!) and wanting to meet my financial responsibilities, I went to the Town Hall to see if this was a frak-up, as things usually are in my life.

It wasn't. I was the frak-up.

In my own defence, my memory has been terrible since the stroke. I completely forgot that I'd put it on direct debit...to do away with any hassle.

For once, this epic fail made me laugh. I'm like the Dolmansaxlil executives, thinking I was doing something excitingly aggressive (well, proper) when in fact all I needed to do was wait. Till tomorrow, in fact, when my bank account will be debited.

As Kryten said when he accidentally dismantled the bazookoid, "Whoops!"

Has anyone else had an epic fail like this?
