Heat the torch up til it is hot (you can light the torch if it's safe to do so). When it is hot (but not lit

) pick it up off the table and dunk the end into some cold water. You should be able to shock the glass out. If it's possible take the torch to a tool hire place and see if you can get them to blow compressed air through the lines (hold the torch upside down) to push out any remaining glass. Hope that helps.
Thank you everyone for the help and thank you specially Sal (as ever of course

). The heating, dunking worked very quickly and was able to spend the rest of the afternoon torching happily. Thank you again, very very much. xxxxx
