Caught between a rock and a hard place Explanation: I think this phrase is better than Jane's. It has more of a natural feel to it. "You can run but you can't hide" reminds me of George W. Bush's election campaign rhetoric.....which is highly undesirable, in my opinion. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2005-01-20 17:58:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another phrase, though much more coarse, is: \"up shit creek without a paddle\" |
