Rob (and others), here's an old electrician's tip to for removing stubborn light bulbs (or globes, or lamps, whatever)
When trying to remove a difficult bulb there is always a risk of the glass breaking and cutting your hand.
Firstly, be sure the power is off and wear eye protection. Then wrap the glass in cloth and smash it. Carefully remove the protruding glass remains from the cap.
Grasp one side of the cap with pliers and twist anticlockwise. The thin brass cap will collapse around the pliers and fall out of the holder. Bingo.
