Like 'another brick in the wall'? Hmm, I already knew this,
because many people called me this in the past 30 years
(because of my last name, you can figure it out yourself
why).
Sorry, but my english is not good enough to figure out
what you exactly mean by this. Can you enlighten me?
PS: I hope it's a compliment!
Thanks
Carsten

Thanks for this explanation!
Now I can add it to my poor vocabulary.
Thanks

I assume it is an English idiom because I see nothing unusual about it.
To me it means you are really great because you are reliable, helpful,
and solid.
What you need to think of here is a house made of brick. The brick is
tough, and supports the house....
Sorry for continuing this off topic thread....
There is a similar sounding word which is a lot ruder, but it doesn't have
a b in it.
