A really sneaky trick i learnt was to bleed from the bottom. This actually works really well. Air bubbles want to travel up, conventional bleeding has us trying to get the damned little bubbles to go down.
Lift the top off your master cylinder so you can watch the fluid level as it rises, then take a reasonably large syringe with a rubber hose on it, fill the syringe with brake fluid through the rubber hose, try to avoid any air in the hose as you squeeze the hose over tyhe furthest away from the master cylinder bleed-nipple, open the nipple and gently squeeze the brake fluid into the system from the bottom. As the fluid rises in the master cylinder - suck it out with a hose. This method is just so much quicker than the conventional it's amazing.
Hope this helps.
