Bloody hat!
I am sick to bloody death of hat. Every bloody night, it's hat. Akubra hat. Fedora hat. Panama hat. Every bloody night, hat for dinner! For just one bloody night, can we not have steak!?

Advances in computing
We have finally created true artificial intelligence.
Introducing... my microwave! It talks! Of course, it's only fitted with a small liquid crystal display and not a speaker, so it more reads than actually speaks. Nevertheless, it not only achieves
communication but accomplishes nothing less than consistent good manners: when I prepare my meal in the microwave, every single time it says to me, ENJOY YOUR MEAL. Without fail. Even after I've been in a foul mood and neglected my usual "thank you, microwave," it doesn't blink; ENJOY YOUR MEAL the very next time.
Equally, my DVD player. It never fails to say GOOD-BYE to me whenever I turn it off.
Recently, I've begun a relationship with my air conditioner.
