That's like telling the last runner in the school egg and spoon race that he "tried hard anyway"!

So, you expected a participation trophy? 
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Don't get me started!
You can tell that load of old rubbish was dreamt up by someone whose kid was a slow runner...

I need a government form, so I rang the helpline.
"For such-and-such, press one" - no other options, so I push it.
It rings, it's answered: "Good morning, you are through to BLAH, my name is BLAH, how can I help you?"
"I need a BLAH, please"
"Postcode?"
"BLAH, house number BLAH"
"And your name?"
"BLAH."
"Thank you - it'll be with you in three to five days. Is there anything else I can help with?"
"No, that's all thank you."
"Then thank you for calling, and have a good day. Bye!"
"Bye!"
Total time, about a minute.
An efficient and helpful government? On a Monday?
That's got to be one the signs of the apocalypse, hasn't it?

1) This was only the overture. Hold your praise until after the first act. Better yet, wait for the curtain.
2) What a strange coincidence that everybody's name is BLAH and that's even exactly what you wanted.
3) They need less than a minute now to retrieve all information they have on you and research your ancestors back for 50 generations, just in case.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

An efficient and helpful government? Already out from EU?

The EU was no problem after our government bought it.

They can't just email it to you? 
Why isn't it online in the first place?
The apocalypse isn't upon us, they just needed about a 100 years to streamline the manual and snail mail process.
They're still 20 years behind in the digital age though

The form itself is online as a PDF - but it has to be completed on paper, and sent in with supporting original documents, not scans or copies.
The "get them to post it to you" version includes a pre-paid envelope with the address - and the address bit is completely missing from the online version 
Let's not expect too much of a government department on a Monday...

And you are feeling copasetic about sending your original documents on the hope that they will send them back? I know I was somewhat anxious about that when I did my first passport, lo these many years ago.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Frankly, the fact that it doesn't need to be faxed is mildly amazing.

Don't count your chickens.
You may receive a only Form Request Form that will allow you to request the Form you want.

For that service, I'd have to call back twice more to the the Form Request Form in triplicate.

That's the least of all problems. Just google 'Kotzhügel' and you will see what I mean.
