i am trying to fix 4" skirting to a brick wall without any success. I
have tried using "no nails" adhesive and oval nails but the nails
just bend and wont hold the board close enough to the brick. The only
other thing i can think of is rawl plugs and screwing the thing to
the wall which will be time consuming to say the least.

You can hire a Paslode gun which will work on brick. Not cheap, but very
quick.
