It depends on exactly how nice you think you should pretend to be...
Personally I'd just tell the silly bitch to STFU and stop whining, or at the very least to pi$$ off and do it somewhere else..... but then I dont do nice, and seldom care what people think of me.

Bring your earphones in and plug yourself into radio 5 live for the next six months.

OP - your best bet is to (a) don't get drawn into her "crap", ( keep your dealings with her both professional and very superficial (i.e. reveal as little of yourself as possible) and (c) do all of this very politely.
She will soon get bored and move onto moaning at someone else!
The main problem I would have with her is that, IMHO, what she is doing is particularly unprofessional.
E.g. if she asks you, "Radio 2 is far too loud, isn't it awful?", I would reply with, "Well, I can't really answer that, I'm afraid I don't listen to Radio 2".
Or if she asks you, "What did you do at the weekend", I would reply, "I had a very enjoyable time, thank you". Not rude, but not engaging - just bland and neutral responses, always said with a pleasant facial expression and relaxed body language.
Works a treat!

She must be a cyborg or alien being, jaffa cakes are food for the Gods, anybody who doesn't like them is not human.

I agree with you Xmister. Except my answers would be even shorter.
"Radio 2???" with a very quizzicle expression on my physog.
and "Cage Fighters conference in Skegness" possibly.
I have in the past needed to cultivate a "Bland/what on earth are you on about?" expression, or no reaction at all.
