Is there a fairly quick setting gunge-type glue that can be used to glue plastic conduit to brick. I need to glue some in place so that it doesn't wobble about when re-plastering. I've tried the quick grip type stuff but it seems to take an age to set properly.

Try Pink Grip - it will stick anything to anything!

I gave up looking for a suitable adhesive[1] and used short heavy clout nails into the mortar joints. Wek nails make this painful - think mine came from toolstation or screwfix about 1" long, big flat heads, worked a treat.
[1] though I did consider a hot glue gun - might work, never tried it, nails were quicker once I'd found some that actually worked...
I've done that for channelling but this is the oval plastic conduit.

So was mine. Worked perfectly. The nail heads are around 7mm dia, so there is more than enough overlap to hook oval into place and the nail heads are thin enough not to make you channel excessively deeply.
Hot glue gun.
Must be smelly pink grip though, the non-smelly isn't nearly as good.

Stixall will hold reasonably quickly - maybe half an hour or so. Or some one-part PU glues - cheaper and very strong when they've gone off. Spray a bit of water on the brick to accelerate the glue.
