Pretend
to be interested in the skull fuckingly banal, minute by minute up dates that i get from the girl next to me regarding the current status of her relationship with her new boyfriend....and i do mean, minute by minute....as each email or text drops in, i am treated to....

what he is having for dinner
what they got at asda last night
what they are going to asda for tonight
what they are doing/have done last night OTHER than go to asda
his holiday schedule for the whole of 2009
how he INSISTS on going to away to a hotel for the night on Valentines Day. NOT the day before, and NOT the day after.

etc etc etc etc etc

Does she have all the photos up, etc?
That's what gets me. How little do you need to have going for you in life that you have to have wedding photos, etc. pinned up on your desk so you can look at their face whenh you're seperated for the eight hours a day you spend at work...

Make up a pretend Partner

Implying her in the rows such as having sexy time too...

I've had this problem previously
and find the best way to cope is to interject with something completely off-topic.

I learned this from my gran, who was (towards the end of her life) pretty much mad as a tree. But it takes a rare type of stupidity to persist in banal conversations when the only response comes out of left-field.

Try it. The next time she starts on something like that turn, pause, and declare "you know what, I don't really like helicopters". Or "Sorry, I thought I saw a wasp". Or "Bloody hairdryer's gone on the blink again".

She's trying to let you know she has a boyfriend.
