Tiling on plasterboard

[IanCoxy]

Hi all
I am just about to begin tiling the bathroom and would like to know if i could dry line the wall using dabs of plaster, and then tile directly onto the plasterboard.

The wall in question is alraedy tiled and is very uneven. It would make my job a hell of a lot easier if i could hack the existing tiles off and then board over. The only draw back I think is, the tiles may be too heavy and eventually pull the boards down.
any info
best regards.

tile straight over the existing tiles

you can do that yes but use the correct bonding adhesive not plaster to attach the boards. The boards wont pull off the wall.(unless your using some unusually heavy tiles.
