What's it made out of? Did you drill a pilot hole?
Did you manage to buy a masonry bit?

Patronise, patronise, patronise, you get the idea, I'm sure.

I would have enjoyed watching as he destroyed his masonary bit
and then after getting annoyed and cursing his "useless fucking drill" suddenly looking pleased as the idea of using glue occured to him.

If your masonry bit got hot and blunt
then it's not concrete. Masonry bits are designed to cut through concrete and brick. That's kind of their raison d'etre.

Usually I wouldn't point out the blindingly obvious, but you know. Situations etc.

nah, it could be
There was a habit a while back of putting shed loads of pebbles in the concrete for lintels. My old place darn sarf was like that. Only an SDS drill will touch that kind of shit, you need the extra hammer action to shatter the pebbles. Matron.
