Best adhesive for fixing bitumen backed carpet tiles to a vertical brick wall?

As the title stipulates, I'm in the process of fixing bitumen backed carpet tiles onto a vertical brick wall (don't ask). The wall has been pre-treated with PVA, so it's dust-free and less absorbent than plain brick.
Which adhesive would you use in this situation? Each tile weighs 1Kg and is 500x500mm.
Thanks!

Sorry I can't resist asking - why?????It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.

My guess is that the OP intends to put velcro on the back of their kids' clothing. Then when they are being naughty, OP can just hang them on the carpeted wall for a while, out of harm's way.
Edit: Wouldn't Grip-fill, or similar, do it?0 -
gorilla glue would do the job, http://uk.gorillaglue.com/eng/glues/glue-list/1/8/gorilla-glue.html
Like most adhesives though getting them off again is whole different storyEveryones opinion is the most important.....no wonder nothing is ever agreed on.0 -
Do you want to be able to move them? The extra strong velcro you can get from Halfords (and probably from other places more cheaply) is really good. My partner uses it to fix soundproofing tiles to the walls of his studio and it works really well.0

If that works let me know I could do with some of that.:)0 -
I actually went out and got the gripfill before someone suggested it. Have put four tiles up - they're still attached. Seems to work, but may end up being expensiveish (13m of bead per £2.50 refill)0
