For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The addition of 'ourselves' in a context like this usually contains an element of threat. It is the sort of thing a headmaster might say to an unruly schoolboy, as he ushered him into his office, or a boss might say to a failing employee who is on his last warning for failing to produce the necessary work. There is a definite air of menace about "have ourselves a little chat" which is absent in the simpler "have a chat".
