What does como siempre nunca mean in English?

The phrase "como siempre nunca" is a bit of a Spanish idiom that doesn't have a direct, literal translation. It roughly translates to:

"As always, never"

It's used to express a sense of irony, sarcasm, or frustration. It's like saying something is always the case, but it also never happens.

Here are some examples of how it could be used in English:

* "He promised to be on time, but como siempre nunca, he was late." (He promised to be on time, but as always, he was late.)

* "She said she would call me back, but como siempre nunca, I never heard from her." (She said she would call me back, but as always, I never heard from her.)

* "The project was supposed to be finished by now, but como siempre nunca, it's still not done." (The project was supposed to be finished by now, but as always, it's still not done.)

In essence, it conveys the feeling of something being expected but constantly disappointing.
