A phrase that can be used in place of the more common expression "Right up my street".
This expression has undertones of the word "creek" meaning arse, thus permitting to lower the tone of the conversation with most people not realising.
"I love that track" said Jenny over the loud music at Lyndsey's wedding
to which Dave shouted back "yeah, it's right up my creek"

struggling hopelessly, but bravely, in a very unfortunate situation
We truly are up shit creek without a paddle here!
When one is caught in a precarious situation where the likelihood of it ending in something positive is virtually non-existent.

A Scottish slang term meaning to be stuck in a bad situation without anyway of fixing it. The bad situation being 'shit creek' and the 'paddle' being the solution.
