Hi Conchita,
At the risk of being a knowall I could add the expression up against a brick wall suggesting that you're not making any progress.

Hi Alan,
Thanks for the idiom. What's wrong with being a knowall, anyway? I'm sure these terms are invented by people who are green with envy of other people's skills :) . |
