Natanya and Jack were going at it hammer and tongs. You sat there in the armchair trying to be diplomatic but failing. Jack ex cop old boy now stared at her: if you weren't a woman I'd knock you flat he said. Ain't scared of you you old **** she said standing over him in her five foot frame. You lit up a cigarette and said: we are getting too fraught we need to sit and be silent awhile and get ourselves in a meditative mood. Jack gazed at you: if you two want to go you can I don't need you. Right we'll ******* go then she said. No wait you said sit down Natanya have a smoke. She sat down and lit up and stared at you then Jack. He sat back down in his chair. After a few minutes he said: did I ever tell you about the time in the Smoke when I was on traffic duty when this woman comes up to me and says: I've done a ****** murdered who? I said my old man she says so I had to take her to the cop shop and got her to repeat it. What happened to her? Natanya said releasing a stream of smoke. Hanged I expect poor mare Jack said.   Natanya looked at you and said: I came close to topping my old man until you came along now he can rot. You smiled. She did not.

HAMMER AND TONGS 1975.
Natanya and Jack were going at it hammer and tongs. You sat there in the armchair trying to be diplomatic but failing. Jack ex cop old boy now stared at her: if you weren't a woman I'd knock you flat he said. Ain't scared of you you old **** she said standing over him in her five foot frame. You lit up a cigarette and said: we are getting too fraught we need to sit and be silent awhile and get ourselves in a meditative mood. Jack gazed at you: if you two want to go you can I don't need you. Right we'll ******* go then she said. No wait you said sit down Natanya have a smoke. She sat down and lit up and stared at you then Jack. He sat back down in his chair. After a few minutes he said: did I ever tell you about the time in the Smoke when I was on traffic duty when this woman comes up to me and says: I've done a ****** murdered who? I said my old man she says so I had to take her to the cop shop and got her to repeat it. What happened to her? Natanya said releasing a stream of smoke.
