Definitely one-up

In comments to the Flashman at the Boundary post, Rich talked about Jim's devotion to the teachings of Stephen Potter.

For those of you keen to find out more, why not get Jim's favourite film (and an all-time Ealing classic) - School for Scoundrels.

For those who know well the art of Oneupmanship, it might amuse you to know that Jim had persuaded Stuart Hodge to get him a bigger chair than anyone else. He had also had his desk raised to be higher than anyone else's!

As Potter used to say, "he who is not one-up is one-down". D.
