Hi glasgow guy
There is an easy way to drill through Nori brick, I first of all regrind masonry drills so that they are like drills for steel, then switch the hammer action OFF, thats what buggers masonry drills up. I reground all mine, from the smallest at 5mm to the biggest at 22 mm which is near 3 ft long and never had any more problems, just occasinal regrinding, before the drill bit gets hot, a lot of people ruin their electric drill with blunt drill bits.

and if it wasnt for the fact I am building a pergola swing for the baby boy I would do it for you...not much help to you I know - but maybe your as well as phoning an odd job man in the paper to do it..save a lot of faffing about..
