tried red or brown ones... depends on what your putting on them...
I would use Brown Plugs.. with something like a 8x2.5 Depending on what will fit through the hole...

Is it me or has scoobynet gone DIY mad?
anyway, it depends on whether the blocks are solid or hollow.
solid blocks, use brown plugs and as long screws as poss-make sure the plug is well in and not flush with the block surface.
hollow blocks- use a toggle type fixing.
Thermalite blocks- dont bother.

Whats more important ( IMHO ) is matching the drill bit size to the rawplug size to the screw size. Get this right and your laughing 
Must admit 99% of the time I use red plugs with a 5.5mm bit and No8 or No10 screws. If I'm using long srews I just tap an extra plug into the bottom of the hole.
Only time I use heavier gauge plugs is if I'm supporting some serious weight, then its either 10mm plugs and coach screws or metal plugs/bolts.

Epoxy the suckers in, they never shift then
Seriously, all depends on the type of block, do you happen to know which they are ?

Stuff I use is called RawlFill (or something). Basically Epoxy resin and it mixes itself as you squeeze the stuff out. Fixes anythibg to anything (almost).

LOL my wife reckons our house is held up by Gripfill.
It really is the daddy of adhesives. Try to remove some skirting that was fitted with it and you end up with a pile of splintered timber and plaster
Don't bother with the B&Q equivalents though. Go to a timber merchants and buy the propper stuff.
