I missed the bus; and that is something I will never ever ever do again

Omit the "and", and you've got it; otherwise, a regular old comma would be the right punctuation there.

If you want to use a colon, you can phrase it "There's one thing I'll never do again: Miss the bus."

Semicolons generally replace a comma + conjunction. So use it instead of the "and" (or "because," "but," etc.) and you're good.
