It was a bizarre sequence of events...  rubschin:
Popcorn:

I was replacing a couple of blown bulbs on the patio with low energy ones like...

First one was fine... Half our house is bayonet bulbs and half Edison screw. These were screw-ins...

Switched on the power to make sure it was working and attacked the second light...

Tried to unscrew it and the entire glass globe broke off in my hand...

So, I removed the globe and placed it carefully in the bin so as not to cause harm like...

Then I grasped the remaining bit of the bulb and tried to unscrew it  eeek:
